Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's romance is still going strong, at least according to her "Suits" costar Wendell Pierce.
Pierce reunited with Meghan and Harry last year, and while recounting their meetup, he shared that the Sussexes looked "very much in love."
Wendell Pierce's revelation comes amid claims that Meghan Markle has given Prince Harry a "major condition" for him to fulfill if she must return to the UK.
Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Looked 'Very Much In Love' And 'Happy'
During a Sunday appearance at the 2024 Tony Awards in New York City, Pierce recounted a meeting he had with Harry and Meghan last year, where he shared that they looked "very much in love."
"When [Meghan] came into town, she got an award last year, had a chance to say hello and wish she and Prince Harry well and wish the children well," Pierce told People magazine. "They look very much in love and were very happy, so that's the most important thing."
The 60-year-old actor, who played the father of Meghan's character Rachel Zane on the hit legal series, also shared that working with her on "Suits" was "a blast" and that he has reunited with her "a few times" since the show ended in 2019.
"I've gotten to see her just a few times since, and we've been able to reminisce and so it's real, we have fond memories of working together," Pierce added.
Wendell Pierce Weighs In On Renewed 'Suits' Interest
Meghan's former colleague also expressed shock at the legal drama's renewed popularity on Netflix after it had a record-breaking viewership on the streaming platform in 2023.
"It did surprise me," the "Parker" actor shared. "We finished the show almost eight years ago, and so to have this resurgence is pretty amazing."
Pierce also teased a reprisal in the upcoming spinoff "Suits L.A.," which will be led by Stephen Amell.
"And so now there's going to be a new generation of folks to take it over, and I'm sure that some of us will make some cameos, but it's really great to have a resurgence," he told the news outlet of the new show.
Meghan Markle Has One 'Major Condition' Before Her Return To The UK
Meghan's love for Harry may be going strong, but her unconditional support is seemingly subject to terms and conditions.
According to The Mirror, the Duchess of Sussex is not enthusiastic about a potential return to the UK and has given the Duke a "major condition" if she's to make the trip.
Royal expert Tom Quinn disclosed that Meghan shared that she'll only return to Harry's home country if he can secure a place of their own and provide appropriate security details.
"Meghan has said she's only prepared to return to England if she and Harry have a place of their own and the security they both feel is essential. Meghan will never return to the UK and stay with her husband's relatives," Quinn told the news outlet.
The Sussexes Will Bring Their Children To The UK If They Sort Out Their 'Security Issue'
Quinn further noted the couple's intention to bring their kids to the UK once their security issue is settled.
"If the couple manage to find a permanent home and sort out the security issue, they will certainly want to bring their children to the UK but it's going to take a lot of diplomacy to get to the point where Archie and Lili are able to develop a genuine and warm relationship with their cousins George, Charlotte and Louis," Quinn said.
Meghan has not touched UK soil since she attended the late Queen Elizabeth's funeral in 2022, although Harry has visited twice just this year. The couple previously lived in their Frogmore Cottage home in Windsor before leaving their senior working royals and relocating abroad.
Prince Harry Allegedly Regrets Not Being At The Trooping The Colour Event
Rumors about a return to the UK continue to surface, and Harry is understood to be missing his old life and friends.
According to The Sun, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams shared that the Duke regrets his actions of exiting the royal family, particularly as he has now missed out on cherished traditions like the Trooping the Colour ceremony. However, Meghan seemingly doesn't share the same sentiments.
"The military has been a very important part of his life, and I would have thought it only natural that he would have had a feeling of some regret [not being at Trooping the Colour]," Fitzwilliams claimed. "I think Meghan would be indifferent to a ceremony like Trooping the Colour, quite frankly."
"I have no idea whether she would or wouldn't actually watch it, but I don't think it would mean a great deal to her," he continued. "If it had done, she would have managed to carve a position within the Royal Family where she could have been of use."
