Meghan Markle’s Wedding Secrets Revealed by Close Friend Gina Torres
Former Suits star, Gina Torres, has opened up about the strict protocol surrounding Meghan Markle's wedding to Prince Harry.
The two actresses worked together on the hit legal drama for seven seasons, with Gina portraying law firm partner Jessica Pearson and Meghan playing paralegal Rachel Zane.
While Meghan left the show to marry into the royal family, Gina went on to star in her own spin-off called Pearson.
In May 2018, Meghan invited the main cast of Suits to her wedding, and Gina made a stunning appearance in a red and white floral dress with a cream hat.
However, Gina later disclosed that there was a restrictive dress code with numerous rules to adhere to, and she was concerned because her dress broke some of them.
Additionally, guests were required to surrender their phones and only had them returned after the ceremony.
During an interview with Variety, Gina revealed that she had purchased her dress online, assuming that she would not receive any camera time since the event would be attended by numerous dignitaries and A-list celebrities.
However, her outfit garnered significant attention and was featured in several best-dressed lists.
Gina recalled discussing outfits with other women attending the wedding, expressing concerns about breaking protocol.
She shared, “We'll see what happens, but no one's going to be looking at us because we're the ugly Americans.
But it was quite something.”
Gina explained that they had to surrender their phones but received them back when they boarded the bus to return to the hotel.
As the bus moved out of the dead zone, the sound of cell phones ringing filled the air, signifying notifications from various websites and people sending pictures of Gina on multiple best-dressed lists.
While fans often inquire about a potential Suits reunion, speculation also arises regarding Meghan's involvement.
Despite their amicable relationship during their time on the show, Gina and Meghan are no longer in touch.
Gina clarified that there was no falling out between them, but as an actor who has worked with numerous people throughout her career, it is impossible to keep in touch with everyone.
She emphasized that their lives and careers were already on different paths before Meghan met Prince Harry.
Gina expressed her enjoyment of working with Meghan and their great time on the show, but they no longer communicate.
It appears that the rigorous demands of their respective careers have led them in different directions.
Gina's experience reflects the reality of being an actor, where countless individuals contribute to the success of a show behind the scenes.
Gina is not the only one who was surprised by the extensive protocol associated with a royal wedding.
Carey Mulligan and her husband Marcus Mumford, who were also invited to the ceremony, arrived early and found themselves waiting for hours.
In other news, Meghan Markle has faced criticism for allegedly trying to leverage her Duchess title for personal gain and the pursuit of the American Dream.
US commentator Lee Cohen recently made this claim, stating that Meghan uses her royal title to offer political opinions, benefiting from the fame she gained through marriage while distancing herself from the responsibilities of true royalty.
As a scholar and enthusiast of the British monarchy, Cohen holds a view of the monarchy's significance that may differ from many Americans.
However, he believes that Meghan's actions come across as opportunistic, trading off her royal title for superficial Hollywood fame.
The revelations from Gina Torres shed light on the intricacies and expectations surrounding a royal wedding, while also highlighting the challenges and choices faced by those involved.
Meghan Markle continues to navigate her role in the public eye, attracting both admiration and criticism along the way.
