Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we? Back when Meghan Markle was known simply as Rachel Zane from the hit show Suits, life was a lot simpler—or so it seemed. But behind the scenes, things were heating up. You see, Meghan, who was 38 at the time, was secretly dating Queen Elizabeth's grandson, Prince Harry. To keep their love life under wraps, Meghan had to pull out all the stops, especially when it came to her character’s engagement ring. The paparazzi were always on the prowl, and Meghan had to be extra cautious when filming scenes in public.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. According to Wendell Pierce, who played Rachel’s dad, Robert Zane, on the show, Meghan wasn’t just dealing with the usual Hollywood drama. She had members of the British security service, MI-5, watching her back while she was on set. Talk about high stakes! Wendell recalled one day when he noticed an MI-5 agent on set and thought to himself, “Oh, this must be serious. They sent someone over.”
At first, Wendell admitted he was skeptical about Meghan’s relationship with Prince Harry. “I didn’t think it would happen. I was like, ‘Yeah, right,’” he joked. But seeing the security presence made him realize that this was no ordinary romance. Meghan wasn’t just any actress; she was about to become a member of the British royal family, and that comes with a whole new level of scrutiny.

But let’s rewind a bit further. Before Meghan and Harry were officially engaged, there was another instance where Meghan had to be ultra-careful about her bling. Remember, on the show, Rachel Zane was engaged to Mike, played by Patrick J. Adams. During one scene, the production team was super cautious. “One time we were in a scene where she was engaged to Mike on the show, and they said, ‘Wait, don’t get out of the car,’” Wendell remembered. “They said, ‘Give us the ring because there’s paparazzi down the street so you can’t go out with the ring.’”
