The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markel politely declined the next month’s Emmy Awards when she was invited.
It was assumed that the invitation was a way of saying goodbye to her role in Suits’ and life in Hollywood, but she rejected the invitation because the prestigious event does not fit with her new royal role.
A source said “We had hoped Meghan would attend as a way of saying goodbye to her ‘Suits’ fans and colleagues.
“Show executives and NBC had offered Harry and her invitation to celebrate with the biggest stars around, meet her showbiz friends and even present an honour. But Meghan is not attending.”
She featured in the legal drama series as Rachel Zane from 2011 until 2017 when she made it known that she was giving up on her acting career to focus on more “important” causes.
Meghan said: “I just see it as a change… It’s a new chapter, right? And also keep in mind I’ve been working on my show for seven years.
“So we were very, very fortunate to be able to have that sort of longevity on a series, and for me once we hit the 100 episode marker I thought, you know what, I have – I have ticked this box and I feel really proud of the work I have done there and now it’s time to, as you said work – work as a team with – with you.”
Since her marriage to Prince Harry her husband, she’s really thrown herself into her new role and has been carrying out duties all over the country.
