The Duchess of Sussex’s former TV show has made an affectionate quip about her new life as a  royal.

Meghan, 38, shot to fame in her role as Rachel Zane in the hit US legal drama.

The show follows the fortunes of a fictional New York City law firm and starred Meghan from its launch in 2011 until her final episode in 2018.

In an episode of the latest series, Rachel’s on-screen husband Mike Ross was asked by another character how she is doing.

Actor Patrick J Adams has also left the show but returned as Mike for the final series.

“If I told you how good, you probably wouldn’t believe me,” he replied.

Suits tweeted a clip of the episode, with the caption: “Turns out Rachel is doing REALLY well.”
