Meghan Markle’s ‘Suits’ Co-Star Patrick J. Adams Wants To Meet Prince Harry?

It appears that Patrick J. Adams would like to personally meet Prince Harry.

During a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Adams revealed that he wasn’t really surprised when he heard the news that his “Suits” co-star Meghan Markle is dating Prince Harry. But since Adams feels like he’s a big brother to Markle, he admitted that he has become a little bit more protective of her since news of her royal romance broke.

“She’s like a sister to me,” Adams said of his relationship with Markle, who plays his onscreen fiancée, Rachel Zane, on the USA Network series. “We’ve been like brothers and sisters for so long, so I’m just super happy for her that she’s found someone that she seems to really be into.”

“We don’t talk about it a lot obviously. There’s so much secrecy involved in something like that, so I just sort of stay out of it,” added the actor, who portrays Mike Ross on the legal drama. “[But] I feel like big brother [protective of her].”

In fact, Adams implied that he would like to meet the royal prince in person. “I would love to do that thing where a big brother gets to actually meet the guy [and know] him a little bit,” he said. “I think we should go through that process just to make sure he’s up to speed. [Perhaps we should have] a couple of drinks to make sure he knows where his head’s at ... [to know] that he can take care of her [and find out] what his intentions [are].”

When asked if he’s been teasing Markle about her relationship with Prince Harry on the set of the show, Adams said: “Well, that’s the problem with this thing. You can’t tease her about this one thing cause it’s like kind of serious. [These guys] look like falling for each other, so you can’t take it too far, but maybe this season … I’ll have a little bit more leeway.”

This isn’t the first time Adams has reacted to Markle’s relationship with Prince Harry. The 35-year-old actor actually alluded to the pair’s romance during his Reddit AMA last week. When a fan asked what it was like “making out on-screen with the potentially future princess of England,” Adams joked: “The same as it was before she was potentially a future princess of England.”
