The famous mastermind behind the show has been giving precious insights into the past and future of his brainchild. Aaron Korsh recently attended a slew of interviews that detailed analysis of what it was like to cast a soon-to-be royal on the set as the main character. Nonetheless, as the universe conspired to unite the military Prince and Hollywood Princess, even the show could not escape from giving major cameos about Meghan Markle‘s future. 

The Duchess of Sussex took her farewell from the Suits at its Zenith, months before she stepped into the royal sphere. However, long before the media got the hang of things, the show had already given a heads-up to the upcoming royal unison. A couple of years after it first aired in 2011, in 2013, the show had Markle and her on-screen BFF Sarah Rafferty debating over a suitor for the ladies.
