Meghan Markle’s former Suits costar Patrick J. Adams has apologized for sharing a series of never-before-seen photos of the Duchess on set. He claims these were a ‘distraction’ from the actors’ strike and called it an ’embarrassing mistake’.
Patrick, who played Meghan’s love interest on the US legal drama from 2011 until her departure in 2017, sent fans into a frenzy earlier this week when he posted a number of intimate photos of Meghan from when they shot the series together.
However, after the mother of three’s previously unreleased images quickly took over the internet, Patrick mysteriously deleted them all from his feed.
Now the actor, 42, has claimed that the reason he removed them was because he felt it was inappropriate amid SAG-AFTRA’s battle with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
