Meghan Markle’s Suits co-star Patrick J. Adams joined the list of stars who have taken to their social media to call out the Royal Family for bullying the former actress.
The outrage started after Oprah announced her exclusive interview with the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, after which the Times of London reported that the Duchess “bullied” former employees.
“Meghan Markle and I spent the better part of a decade working together on Suits,” Adams, who played Meghan’s on-screen love interest and attended her wedding to Prince Harry, wrote in a Twitter thread on Friday. “From day one she was an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, giving, joyful and supportive member of our television family. She remained that person and colleague as fame, prestige and power accrued.”
Adams said that the “Suits” alum has a “deep sense of morality” and a “fierce work ethic.”
“Like the rest of the world, I have watched her navigate the last few years in astonishment,” he said, looking on as she “began the difficult work of trying to find her place in a family dynamic that can at best be described as complicated and at worst, seemingly archaic and toxic.”
He added that it sickens him to “read the endless racist, slanderous, clickbaiting vitriol spewed in her direction.”
“On any sort of decent planet that would be a time to stop sharpening the knives and let these two people enjoy the magical early months and years of starting a family. But we don’t live on that planet and instead the hunt continued,” he said.
“It’s OBSCENE that the Royal Family, who’s newest member is currently GROWING INSIDE OF HER, is promoting and amplifying accusations of ‘bullying’ against a woman who herself was basically forced to flea the UK in order protect her family and her own mental health,” Adams wrote.
“This newest chapter and it’s timing is just another stunning example of the shamelessness of a institution that has outlived its relevance, is way overdrawn on credibility and apparently bankrupt of decency,” the actor continued.
“Find someone else to admonish, berate and torment,” Adams wrote. “My friend Meghan is way out of your league.”

She has always been a powerful woman with a deep sense of morality and a fierce work ethic and has never been afraid to speak up, be heard and defend herself and those she holds dear. Like the rest of the world, I have watched her navigate the last few years in astonishment.

She fell in love, moved to a new country, became a household name across the entire globe and began the difficult work of trying to find her place in a family dynamic that can at best be described as complicated and at worst, seemingly archaic and toxic.
