There was an air of glitz and glamour at the renowned Golden Globes, yet the absence of a royal presence was felt. As Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, and former star of “Suits” was missing from the stage, a sense of disappointment pervaded among her fans. The night was supposed to be a nostalgic journey with her former cast members, Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, and Gina Torres, but without the Duchess, it seemed the event lacked a certain charm and left many desiring more.

It became clear as the night progressed that there was an undeniable void left by the Duchess’s absence. The Golden Globes insider revealed to PageSix that Meghan’s decision to skip the reunion was not due to a lack of invitation, but because of other obligations. This noticeable absence became even more evident when host Jo Koy couldn’t resist making a quip about Prince Harry and his wife. He cleverly hinted that despite their apparent inactivity, the royal couple continued to amass wealth, thanks to Netflix’s generous sponsorship.

The evening was filled with chuckles and smiles, as the remaining “Suits” stars, despite Meghan’s absence, successfully created a memorable imprint on the narrative of the night. The banter around Imelda Staunton’s portrayal of the queen in Netflix’s popular series “The Crown” further elevated the light-hearted atmosphere, ensuring that the event was still enjoyable for all.

Behind the Scenes: A Surprising Revelation

Before the cast appeared together on stage, Gina Torres shared an unexpected piece of information with the audience.

However, Meghan Markle was not part of this digital gathering, as Torres explained, “We don’t have her number. She’ll see; she’ll watch. She’ll be happy that we’re here.”

Even though Meghan was absent from the group chat, it is suggested that she still keeps in touch with some of her “Suits” co-stars, particularly Sarah Rafferty. Meghan’s strong connection with “Suits” is undeniable, a fact solidified when she invited her co-stars to her royal wedding in 2018, turning it into an unforgettable occasion.
