The Duchess of Sussex rarely posts comments on Instagram

Meghan Markle has addressed the disappointment shared by her former Suits co-star, Patrick J Adams, with a public comment on social media.

The Duchess of Sussex left a comment below an Instagram video shared by the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, in which the host, Amanda Hirsch, asked the actor if he had received any of Meghan’s As Ever jam.

Mr Adams, 44, admitted he had not been sent any jam, as the host shared she had received some from the duchess.

The Suits star appeared surprised and disappointed, and then asked Ms Hirsch how the jam was, who explained that she had not opened up the jar.

Meghan continued: “Hugs to those beautiful babies. Send my love to your mom,” with a red heart emoji.

Mr Adams recently admitted he is considering axing the Duchess of Sussex reference from his Instagram bio.

“What she’s gone through is insane,” Mr Adams remarked when Ms Hirsch noted she had previously expressed concern for Meghan online, acknowledging the actor’s protective stance towards his former co-star.

During the podcast conversation, Ms Hirsch drew attention to Mr Adams’s Instagram biography, which playfully references his famous co-star with the description: “The other guy from that show that you’re watching on that app because that girl married that prince.”

“I’ve got to change that,” Mr Adams admitted, though the host objected to the idea.

The actor suggested the duchess would likely find the bio amusing in a particular way.

“It’s the sort of thing that wherever Meghan is, if she’s ever read that, she’s going, ‘Patrick, give me a break,’” he said, mimicking an eye roll.

“I got a lot of eye rolls – that was a constant with Meghan,” Mr Adams added, noting she had never actually commented on the bio but was confident it earned him “an eye roll”.

Mr Adams and Meghan portrayed love interests Mike Ross and Rachel Zane on the USA Network series from its 2011 debut through to the seventh season, with their characters eventually tying the knot on screen.

The actor was among the Suits cast members present when Meghan married Prince Harry at their royal wedding in May 2018, while she was still appearing in the programme when her relationship with the prince began.

The pair no longer maintain regular contact, with Mr Adams acknowledging in a Reddit post last October that they “are not really in touch,” explaining that she “leads a very different life now for obvious and important reasons”.

Nevertheless, when news emerged that Mr Adams and fellow cast member Sarah Rafferty were launching a Suits rewatch podcast, Meghan reached out with support.

“I got a lovely text, saying how excited she was for us and asking how she could help in any way,” Mr Adams wrote at the time.
