Klein, who was a non-writing producer throughout the show's nine-season run, did not mention Meghan at all when discussing the factors contributing to the show's current boost in popularity.
According to TVLine.com, "Suits" is currently one of the biggest shows on the planet, and its return to Netflix has sparked increased viewership.
When asked about the show's enduring popularity, Klein expressed surprise and pride in its success. He mentioned that he had expected renewed interest upon its arrival on Netflix, but he didn't anticipate the magnitude of its impact. The show's inclusion in the Nielsen weekly top 10 charts has only further solidified its popularity among viewers, who are sticking with it through all the seasons.
However, Meghan Markle's name seems to have been omitted from the show's introduction on Netflix, which has raised eyebrows among royal fans. The show's stars Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams, as well as director Aaron Korsh, are mentioned in the introduction, while Meghan's name appears in the cast list. Some believe that Netflix may be phasing Meghan out and not considering her as a star in their promotions.
Moreover, rumors have circulated that Meghan influenced her agency, WME, to manipulate the numbers to boost "Suits" viewership. Amid the renewed interest in the show, Meghan's old CV has surfaced online, where she had listed herself as a Caucasian supermodel. This has drawn attention to her background, including attending a predominantly white college and being part of a white sorority. Her identification as a person of color only came to light in the show's second season.
Regarding Meghan's departure from "Suits," it was revealed that her character, Rachel Zane, was written out of the show even before she met Prince Harry. Aaron Korsh had made the decision to write her character off a year before Meghan's relationship with Harry began.
