Meghan Markle Just Renewed My Hopes for a Rachel Zane Cameo on Suits LA

Meghan Markle is still holding onto a remnant of her Suits era.

On March 3, People published a wide-spanning interview with the Duchess of Sussex, describing it as her “most intimate interview in years.” Throughout the discussion, Markle spoke about motherhood, her relationship with Prince Harry, and even her Pilates nights with the normal moms of Montecito.

And yet, all I can think about is the small sliver of hope that Rachel Zane may one day make an appearance on the new reboot, Suits LA.

In the interview, Markle reflected on her time playing the ambitious paralegal that fell in love with a fake lawyer, calling the series “a time capsule for me.” Markle played Rachel Zane from 2014 to 2018, leaving the legal procedural to embrace her new role in the royal family.

In fact, many of her Suits costars attended at Markle’s royal wedding in May 2018, just a month after the release of her final episode, which just so happened to feature a wedding between Rachel and Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams).

“I still have the pencil skirt from the first episode! That’s the one thing I kept,” she told People, adding that she’s excited about the new Peacock spinoff, saying, “I love that it gets a new breath of fresh air.”

But does she love it enough to bring that pencil skirt out of her closet? While Markle quote is hardly a Deadline announcement, it does give me hope that she’d consider it. After all, her new lifestyle brand As Ever is a clear return to another pre-royal passion. While filming Suits in Toronto in 2014, Markle created the lifestyle blog, The Tig, which was shut down in 2017 to solidify her entry into the royal family.
