In a jaw-dropping new podcast revelation that’s sending shockwaves through Hollywood and royal circles alike, Meghan Markle’s former Suits co-star Patrick J. Adams has spilled the tea on what it was really like sharing the screen with the Duchess of Sussex — and it’s not the fairytale romance fans might have imagined.
Adams, who played Meghan’s on-screen love interest Mike Ross in the hit legal drama, appeared on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast and admitted that “eye rolls were a constant” from his glamorous co-star. “I got a lot of eye rolls,” he quipped. “That was a constant with Meghan — her rolling her eyes at me like, ‘Oh my god, what are you doing?’”
According to Adams, the exasperated glances flew whenever he cracked a joke or updated his cheeky Instagram bio poking fun at her royal fairy tale (you know, the one that says he’s “the other guy from that show… because that girl married that prince”). Meghan apparently wasn’t amused — and those signature eye rolls kept coming. The pair haven’t spoken in years, adding fuel to the fire that behind the polished smiles, tensions may have simmered even before the crowns and curtsies.
But here’s where it gets really intriguing: while Meghan was reportedly giving her co-star the side-eye on set, Prince Harry was busy sending flirty Facebook messages to a journalist about “movie snuggles,” “drinking her under the table,” and a “weekend of naughtiness.” Court documents from his ongoing privacy battle have unearthed the playful (some say too playful) exchanges with reporter Charlotte Griffiths, complete with pet names like “sugar,” multiple kisses, and longing for those cozy cinema cuddles. This was years before he met Meghan — but critics are already asking: if Harry was this flirty in his bachelor days, does it paint a different picture of the “wholesome” romance that swept the world?
Fast-forward to today, and the Sussexes are gearing up for what could be their most awkward spotlight moment yet: a return to Australia in mid-April 2026 for a series of private, business, and philanthropic engagements — their first Down Under trip since the wildly successful 2018 royal tour.
Only this time? Insiders are whispering it’s off to a rocky start before the plane even lands.
No official royal backing. No guaranteed cheering crowds. Instead, expect crossed arms, sarcastic signs, lukewarm applause at best, and plenty of those same eye-rolls Meghan once dished out on the Suits set — but now coming from Australian onlookers.
The couple plans polished walkabouts and trademark waves in Melbourne and Sydney, with Harry speaking at a psychosocial safety summit and Meghan headlining a luxe women’s retreat. But with a petition against taxpayer support already racking up tens of thousands of signatures, and commentators calling it a “faux royal” tour, the atmosphere risks feeling more strained photo-op than triumphant homecoming.
Will the Sussexes charm their way through the skepticism with camera-ready composure? Or will the “almost royal” vibes and past revelations — from on-set exasperation to Harry’s cheeky old texts — make this tour the one where the mask slips?
One thing’s for sure: all eyes (and eye-rolls) will be on Harry and Meghan as they step back into the global spotlight. The fairy tale continues… or does it? 👀
Stay tuned — because if history’s any guide, the drama is just getting started. 🎥🇦🇺
