It's been nearly a decade since Meghan Markle portrayed Rachel Zane on USA's hit legal drama, Suits—but the royal isn't quick to forget her acting roots.

This weekend, while attending the 2025 Invictus Games, the Duchess of Sussex and her husband, Prince Harry, joined Team U.S.A. for a special team breakfast, and quite a few of the team members revealed that they were big fans of Suits. According to athlete Leandra Moehring, Markle, who appeared in the series from 2011 to 2017, gave the perfect response.

She told People, "We told her we saw her on Suits. And she's like, 'I'm sorry I'm not wearing a pencil skirt.'"

Fans of the show will recall that Markle's character, Rachel, often rocked her shirts with stylish pencil skirts at the office—a fitting look for one of the most ambitious and hard-working people at Pearson Hardman. And in previous interviews, the royal has opened up about Rachel's style.

While speaking with Glamour UK in 2017, she noted that Rachel's outfit choices often reflected her emotions. She explained, "When she and Michael were falling in love, everything was a blush tone and it was creams and layers and she was happier, and when she was really stressed everything was darker and there were slate and black tones."

The royal may not have much in common with the whip-smart paralegal-turned-attorney in terms of style, but if there's one quality they share, it's their caring and attentive personality.

While chatting with People, Moehring also mentioned that Markle and her husband were genuine and down-to-earth. She said, "They really took the time with each and every one of us. And despite people who are trying to keep them on schedule, they just did not mind taking pictures at all. And it was just super neat. I loved them."

Another athlete, Bryce Ewing, echoed Moehring's sentiments and added, "When Meghan looks at you, she really looks at you, and you feel it in your soul. She's really caring. She's very intuitive. She's so down to earth, and she looks like she really cares."

In addition to having breakfast with the team, the royal couple attended the opening ceremony and enjoyed a few games, including the wheelchair basketball finals.

Markle shared a few highlights on her official Instagram page and teased, "Get ready for a week of heart, hope, and heroes in action. Join us in cheering loudly and proudly to show just how much these competitors and their families mean to us."

This year's games officially kicked off on February 8 and are set to conclude on February 16.
