Who From *Suits* Attended Meghan's Wedding?

Meghan Markle's former castmates from the TV show Suits were among the guests at her wedding to Prince Harry. The cast included Patrick J Adams, who played Markle's on-screen love interest, Mike Ross, and his wife Troian Bellisario; Sarah Rafferty, who plays Donna Paulsen; Gabriel Macht, who plays Harvey Specter; Gina Torres, who plays Jessica Pearson; Rick Hoffman, who plays Louis Litt; and Abigail Spencer, who plays Dana 'Scottie' Scott. The cast attended the wedding ceremony and luncheon but not the after-after-party at Frogmore House, where only 200 guests were invited. They instead held an impromptu karaoke party.

The Suits cast attended the wedding but not the after-party

The cast of Suits attended the wedding of their co-star Meghan Markle to Prince Harry at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Meghan's former co-stars, including Patrick J. Adams, Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty, Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, and Abigail Spencer, were among the 600 guests at the royal wedding. The Suits cast flew to the U.K. for the wedding and enjoyed dinner together in Sunningdale, England, the night before the ceremony.

The cast of Suits attended the wedding as a family, as they had worked together on the show for 10 years. "We were with each other longer than we went to college or high school with our friends, so we became family in a way," said Sarah Rafferty, who played Donna Roberta Paulsen. "We're still family, so this is a wonderful family affair."

Although the Suits cast attended the wedding and the luncheon at Windsor Castle, they were not invited to the ultra-private evening reception. Instead, they went for karaoke after the wedding, as they were not part of the exclusive gathering of 200 people at the after-after-party at Frogmore House.

The Suits cast's presence at the wedding was a testament to the close bond they shared with Meghan Markle, even after her departure from the show. Their attendance also highlighted the impact of the royal wedding, with cast member Aaron Korsh stating, "I think it changed our lives in certain ways, forever."

Meghan Markle's co-stars wore tuxes and prim dresses to the wedding

Meghan Markle's wedding to Prince Harry was a highly-publicized event. Markle's co-stars from the TV show Suits were among the guests, and they dressed up for the occasion in dapper tuxes and prim dresses.

The Suits cast members who attended included Patrick J. Adams, Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty, Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, and Abigail Spencer. They were invited to the ceremony at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, but not to the ultra-private evening reception.

The cast of Suits described the royal wedding as a life-changing event. Show creator Aaron Korsh said, "I think it changed our lives in certain ways, forever. But if it had never happened, we were a family on Suits for 10 years. We all went as a family."

The Suits cast stuck together during their trip to the U.K. for Meghan's wedding. They had dinner together in Sunningdale, England, the night before the nuptials, and did karaoke the night of the ceremony.

Meghan Markle's wedding dress was designed by British fashion designer Clare Waight Keller, artistic director of the fashion house Givenchy. The dress was made in Paris by a small team of ateliers, with only five months to manufacture it. Markle and Waight Keller worked closely together on the design, which featured a "timeless minimal elegance." The dress was made of silk with three-quarter-length sleeves, an open boat neckline, and a train with a built-in triple silk organza underskirt.

Markle's 16.5-foot silk tulle veil was also created with a special sentiment. It featured embroidered flowers representing the distinctive flora of all 53 Commonwealth countries, as well as the wintersweet flower from Kensington Palace and the California poppy, a nod to Markle's home state.

The cast knew about Meghan and Harry's relationship before the public did

The cast of Suits knew about Meghan and Harry's relationship before the public did. Meghan Markle played Rachel Zane, a paralegal turned part-time associate, and the fiancée of main character Mike Ross, on the USA drama for seven seasons. Her final scenes, including a romantic wedding, aired in the spring of 2018, but she had already been dating Harry since the summer of 2016.

The Suits cast were some of the first people to know about the relationship. Meghan and Harry met on a blind date in July 2016, and by October, a friend of the royal confirmed to People that he and Meghan had been dating for "a couple of months." However, the couple managed to keep the relationship under wraps for a few months, and it wasn't until November 2016 that they went public.

The Suits cast were also among the first to know about the couple's engagement. In November 2017, Meghan and Harry announced their engagement, and the Suits cast were invited to the wedding, which took place on May 19, 2018, at St. George's Chapel in Windsor.

The cast's attendance at the wedding caused a media frenzy, with some outlets reporting that the Suits stars' lives were changed forever by the event. They all travelled to the U.K. together and had dinner in Sunningdale, England, the night before the nuptials. They were not invited to the ultra-private evening reception but did karaoke the night of the ceremony.

The cast's presence at the wedding was especially significant because Meghan's final episode of Suits had aired just a month earlier, in April 2018. This meant that the Suits cast and crew had been keeping the secret of Meghan and Harry's relationship for almost two years by the time the wedding took place.

The cast dined together in London the night before the wedding

The cast of Suits was invited to Meghan Markle's wedding to Prince Harry, and they all dined together in London the night before the wedding. The cast, including Patrick J. Adams, Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty, Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, and Abigail Spencer, attended the wedding as a "family", according to show creator Aaron Korsh.

The Suits cast held a dinner in London the night before the wedding, sharing pictures of the occasion on Instagram. The cast also attended the wedding luncheon at Windsor Castle, where they enjoyed a performance by Elton John and an extensive menu. They did not, however, make the cut for the exclusive after-after-party at Frogmore House, which had a guest list capped at 200 people.

Despite not being invited to the ultra-private evening reception, the Suits cast made their own fun with an impromptu karaoke party, complete with live piano. They stuck together during their trip to the U.K. for Meghan's wedding, showcasing their strong bond and the sense of family they developed during their time working together.

Meghan Markle's final Suits episode aired the month before her wedding

Meghan Markle's final episode of Suits, which aired in April 2018, saw her character Rachel Zane marry Mike Ross, played by Patrick J. Adams. The on-screen couple then left for Seattle. The Duchess of Sussex's real-life wedding to Prince Harry took place the following month, on May 19, 2018.

Although Markle did not make an appearance in the Suits finale, the show made several references to her character. A photo of Rachel and her TV dad, Robert Zane, was visible on his desk during one scene. In another scene, Harvey Specter says to Louis Litt, "You're not the prince of England," a nod to the actual prince Markle married.

The show's creator, Aaron Korsh, also included a montage featuring Rachel in the final moments of the show. "I wrote that thing into the script. I am a nostalgic person," Korsh said. "We talked about it. We weren’t sure it would work, and we weren’t sure how much to put in."

Korsh also chose not to invite Markle back for the finale, explaining that he wanted to respect her new life. "I thought about asking, and I thought about even using audio footage that we have to come up with something, and in the end I didn’t ask," he said. "I just thought, I’m going to respect her new life and not put her in the position of having to ask."
