The actor who played Meghan Markle's character's father in Suits has made a joke about the Duchess of Sussex in a new show. In a recent episode of "Elsbeth", aired on Thursday, the show made a playful reference to the Duchess of Sussex through actor Wendell Pierce's character.

Wendell Pierce, who played the dad of Meghan’s character Rachel Zane in the US hit series Suits, referred to the duchess in his new CBS show. The comment is believed to be a dig at the press.

I could tell [her] anything, and it would be okay. I carry [her] heart (I carry it in my heart),” Markle’s friend wrote of their relationship.

I learned a lot from her and she actually gets to teach me something on the show," Spencer said of 'With Love, Meghan'
