KEY POINTS

  • Tim Matheson directed Meghan Markle in "Suits" back in 2011
  • Matheson said that Markle was easy to work with 
  • The Duchess of Sussex left the series after she got engaged to Prince Harry in 2017

Tim Matheson, who once worked with Meghan Markle on “Suits,” was left smitten by the Duchess of Sussex's aura and charm years ago.

In an interview with Page Six, the actor opened up about working with Markle on the USA Network’s legal drama “Suits.” Matheson directed an episode of the show, where the former actress starred as Rachel Zane, back in 2011.

Matheson said he already knew that Markle was “charming” and “had an aura about her that was special.” Moreover, he revealed he saw that the mom-of-one “had a very unique quality and the camera loved her.”

“For me as a director, she was easy to shoot. Just point it in that direction, it’ll be fine,” Matheson said.

He added that though he couldn’t remember their “vivid” times together, Markle was “great, very down to earth and there were no airs put on.”

Markle left “Suits” when she got engaged to Prince Harry in 2017, around a year after she was first rumored to be dating the Duke of Sussex. She was with the show for seven seasons before her departure.

Matheson's revelations came after Markle opened up about the heartbreaking miscarriage that she endured in July this year. The duchess wrote about the loss of her and Prince Harry's second child in a deeply personal op-ed in The New York Times.

Markle recalled feeling a sharp cramp while holding her firstborn, Archie Harrison, one Wednesday morning in July. That’s when she knew that “something was not right.”

“I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,” she wrote.

While some criticized her for revealing her miscarriage, many supported Markle, including Chrissy Teigen, who also recently suffered a pregnancy loss. The model put a troll on blast and defended the Duchess of Sussex.

“Is anyone really questioning the pain and sheer awfulness of suffering a miscarriage, or are they perhaps criticising Meghan's decision to write a 1,000 word op-Ed about herself? What does it add to the resources already available for those who go through a tragedy like this?" the social media user wrote.

“Award for today's absolute piece of s—t goes to Marco Giannangeli. Congratulations, piece of s—t," Teigen tweeted.
