Meghan Markle, known for her role as Rachel Zane in the hit legal drama Suits, was noticeably absent from a recent reunion commercial that aired during the 2024 Super Bowl.

The commercial, which promoted e.l.f. Cosmetics' Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster, featured several Suits cast members reprising their iconic roles. Gina Torres returned as Jessica Pearson, Rick Hoffman as Louis Litt, and Sarah Rafferty as Donna Paulsen. Directed by Zach Woods, the commercial saw the Suits cast receiving summons to appear in court for Judge Judy.
While the reunion commercial included other notable personalities like comedian Benito "Benny Drama" Skinner, singer Meghan Trainor, Jury Duty star Ronald Gladden, RuPaul's Drag Race's HeidiNCloset, and athlete Emmanuel Acho, fans couldn't help but notice the absence of two key Suits actors: Gabriel Macht, who played Harvey Specter, and Patrick J. Adams, who portrayed Mike Ross.
However, the most glaring absence was that of Meghan Markle. This is not the first time she has been excluded from Suits reunions, as she was also absent when Macht, Adams, Torres, and Rafferty appeared at the 2024 Golden Globes to present the award for Outstanding Drama Series. Despite her absence, the Suits cast expressed their joy at reuniting for the Super Bowl commercial. According to Rick Hoffman, it was a moment of "peak happiness," while Sarah Rafferty described it as "coming home."
As for the chances of Markle returning for a Suits spin-off, they seem slim at the moment. Markle's transition to her role as the Duchess of Sussex and her focus on her philanthropic endeavors have taken her in a different direction. However, fans can still hope for a future reunion that includes the talented actress. In the meantime, they can enjoy the nostalgia of seeing the Suits cast back together, even if it is just for a commercial.
