Suits star Patrick J. Adams recently responded to a fan question about how much of Meghan Markle he sees these days.
The actores played Mike Ross and Rachel Zane on Suits, and left the show together after seven seasons, though Adams returned for a couple of appearances at the end of season nine.
Adams has just recently launched a podcast called Sidebar, which is focused on the show, and god help him he joined Reddit so he could chat directly to Suits fans.
As you can imagine, they were overjoyed at this turn of events, and swiftly bombarded him with questions to ask how he was doing after the show.
He also told Suits fans they shot scenes from the pilot episode in an office block which they then recreated with sets once the show got commissioned.

However, another hugely popular question was whether he knew how Meghan Markle was doing.
Shortly after leaving Suits she married Prince Harry and became royalty, though they would later detach from the royal family.
Adams wrote: “We are not really in touch.
“She leads a very different life now for obvious and important reasons. But upon hearing about the podcast. I got a lovely text, saying how excited she was for us and asking how she could help in any way.
“So lovely to still have that kind of support and friendship after so many years apart.”
Naturally, this prompted someone to ask if Markle would be joining the podcast as a guest at some point.
This being the internet, someone else also wondered whether the US should declare war on the UK to extricate Markle from the royal family.
Such acts of hostility are unlikely to be necessary, since Markle and Prince Harry moved to California years ago.

Even if they don’t talk much, he sounded very happy that she reached out and offered to help with Sidebar.
On the podcast, he said that he’d worked with Markle before Suits, as they’d ‘done a pilot before’ which didn’t get picked up for a full show run.
They were reunited to do a ‘chemistry read’ for Suits, and Adams said it was ‘pretty clear she was gonna get the part from the minute we did the chemistry read’.
He said: “I think just knowing each other and getting to calm down and not have those nerves of just getting to know one another really helped that chemistry read.
“We had an easygoing thing when we went into that room.”
