Wendell Pierce Shares Warning He Once Gave Meghan Markle Before She Began Royal Life
HuffPost
The "Wire" alum previously starred alongside the Duchess of Sussex in legal drama, "Suits," which aired from 2011 to 2019.
Wendell Pierce clearly wanted Meghan Markle, his former co-star of “Suits,” to be prepared for life as a royal.
During an interview with E! News published on Saturday, the actor reflected on his conversation with the now-Duchess of Sussex on their last day of filming the long-running USA Network legal drama together.
Pierce played the father of Meghan’s character in “Suits,” which aired from 2011 to 2019. Meghan left the show in 2017. She announced that year that she was retiring from acting to focus on royal duties after she became engaged to Prince Harry.
“I’m always reminded of the last day working with Meghan, which was the wedding scene prior to her engagement to the Prince,” Pierce told the publication. “I said, ‘Meghan, your life is going to be a whirlwind. You’re going to be in this bubble.’”
“The Wire” alum then shared how he offered his support to his former co-star.
