Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was notably absent from the 2024 Golden Globes, despite being a topic of conversation during the event. The former "Suits" actress turned down an invitation to reunite with her castmates at the prestigious awards ceremony, citing prior commitments.
Meghan's decision not to join the reunion raised eyebrows, particularly given the resurgence of "Suits" on Netflix, which has revitalized interest in the show. Gina Torres, one of Meghan's former co-stars, disclosed to OK! that while the cast maintains a group chat, Meghan's contact details are no longer within their reach. "Our text thread is insane right now, so it's very exciting. We don't have her number. We just don't," Torres stated.
Meghan's transition from actress to royal and producer marked a significant career shift. Reflecting on her acting journey, Meghan told an outlet in 2023, "I have no idea. It was great to work on, such a great cast and crew. We had a really fun time. I was on it for seven seasons, so quite a bit." She also expressed pride in the show's enduring popularity on streaming platforms.
Meghan's focus has now shifted to her production endeavors with husband Prince Harry through their Archewell production company. "Things make people feel something right and feel a sense of community," Meghan said about her future projects. "But we have so many exciting things on the slate. I can't wait until we can announce them, but it's really proud of what we're creating. My husband is loving it too. It's really fun."
Despite her successful transition, rumors and controversies continue to follow Meghan. At the Golden Globes, host Jo Koy humorously referenced Prince Harry and Meghan, indicating their ongoing prominence in public discourse. "Turns out Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will still get paid millions of dollars for doing absolutely nothing - and that's just by Netflix," Koy quipped, eliciting laughter from the audience, including Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos.
The Duchess has been clear about her departure from acting, stating in a cover story, "No. I'm done. I guess never say never, but my intention is to absolutely not." This definitive statement underscores her commitment to new roles and responsibilities, distancing her from her previous life as an actress.
The "Suits" cast's reunion at the Golden Globes, without Meghan, served as a reminder of her past and the changes she has embraced since leaving the show. Her former co-star Patrick J. Adams even teased a "Suits" spin-off on the red carpet, playfully speculating about Meghan's potential involvement.
Meghan Markle's absence from the Golden Globes and the "Suits" group chat symbolizes her journey from Hollywood to the global stage, where she continues to navigate her unique path as a Duchess and producer.
