Suits catapulted Meghan Markle’s acting career but how did her character Rachel Zane leavethe show?

Attorney and former paralegal Rachel Zane (played by Meghan Markle) was among the original staple characters in USA Network and Netflix’s Suits which made it a global hit.

So when news broke that she would soon be making her exit, fans were eager to know if Rachel would get her happily ever after all.

Rachel and Mike Ross (Patrick J Adams), like most TV love affairs, didn’t have a straightforward romance but when they did get together, they were head over heels for one another. So much so that at the end of season four, and after getting her father’s blessing, Mike proposed to Rachel which she gleefully accepted.

Fast forward to season seven and Rachel and Mike tie the knot but it was the beginning of the end for them at Pearson Hardman as they chose to leave their jobs behind to start again.

Following the wedding, the newlyweds made the move to Seattle where they had planned to set up their own law firm.

While Adams returned for the final series of Suits, Markle did not because she had given up her career as an actress to become a senior member of the royal family.

She was dating Prince Harry while shooting Suits but as their relationship became more serious, Markle chose to quit the legal drama.

Markle and Prince Harry went on to marry a year later and now have two children together.

Talking about her decision to leave with the BBC, she said: "I don't see it as giving anything up. I just see it as a change.

“It's a new chapter, right? I’ve ticked this box, and I feel very proud of the work I've done there, and now it's time to work with [Harry] as a team.”
