Patrick J. Adams Says Meghan Markle’s Eye Rolls Were Legendary on the Suits Set

Patrick J. Adams popped onto Amanda Hirsch's 'Not Skinny But Not Fat' podcast on Tuesday, March 31, and ended up delivering a very Patrick mix of sweet nostalgia, mildly chaotic tangents, and a little self-roasting about his Instagram. The headline version: Meghan Markle writes like a calligraphy robot, he did not receive the now-infamous jam, and he might finally retire that bio that references the prince.

The handwriting thing

Adams, 44, lit up talking about Meghan's penmanship and the random skills she just decides to master. He says she once sent him a handwritten note — he can't pin down exactly which one — but he still has at least one tucked away from their 'Suits' era.

'Her writing is truly a work of art. It is crazy. It is astonishing.'

He laughed that she simply decided she wanted that skill and then, of course, she had it. As for when the note(s) landed, he chalks it up to those little on-set traditions: start gifts, wrap gifts — the industry kind of stuff that floats around when a season kicks off or wraps. Translation: a very specific behind-the-scenes tidbit, but it tracks.

About that jam

Despite playing Meghan's on-screen other half from 2011 to 2018 (they both left after season 7), Adams did not make the cut for the jam drop when her brand, As Ever, launched. His words:

'I didn't get anything. I don't have enough followers, I don't think.'

He then spiraled, delightfully, into Jam Watch 2026. Are people still getting jars? Has anyone actually eaten it? When Hirsch admitted her jar is still boxed, he cracked: 'You're treating it like a champagne?' He also insisted she should have brought it to the taping and warned, only half-joking, that preserves are not immortal: 'It's gonna go bad... How long do preserves last?'

'Suits' years and why he is protective

Adams played Meghan's love interest on 'Suits' from 2011 through 2018, then exited with her after the seventh season. On the podcast, he kept it real about why he tends to defend his former costar as her relationship with Prince Harry has played out in public (they married in 2018 and have two kids): 'What she's gone through is insane.' He also joked that Harry and Meghan basically lit the fuse for a whole new wave of 'Suits' viewers — which, given the show's late-blooming streaming surge, is not wrong.

The Instagram bio bit

If you've seen his Instagram, you know the line: 'The other guy from that show that you're watching on that app because that girl married that prince.' Adams says it might finally be time to retire it. He swears Meghan has never complained about it directly, but he can vividly picture the eye rolls — which, apparently, were a constant back in the day. Recently — 'yesterday or two days ago,' by his count — he decided he should change it. In his words, they got their play out of the gag, and it's probably time to let it go.

• Letters: He definitely has at least one handwritten note from her, likely tied to start/ wrap gift moments on 'Suits.'
