Before joining royal life, Meghan spent seven years portraying paralegal Rachel Zane, the love interest of Mike Ross, played by Patrick J. Adams. Her character became well known for both her intelligence and romantic storylines on the show.
Claims About Royal Concerns
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Eliza Roberts — wife of actor Eric Roberts, who also appeared in the series — alleged that some senior royals were uncomfortable with the more intimate aspects of Meghan’s role.
Discussing the actress’s career, she said:
“Her making love with another man, that was just — they’ve never seen anything like that.”
“She worked so hard to get there. That was just too much.”
Eliza also reflected more broadly on Meghan stepping away from acting after her engagement, adding:
“Women don’t give up their jobs for a marriage anymore.”
From Hollywood to Royal Life
In addition to Suits, Meghan had roles in films such as Get Him to the Greek, Horrible Bosses, and 90210. Despite praising her performance, Eliza said she could understand why Meghan chose to leave her acting career behind when she became part of the monarchy.
