Prince Harry once admitted that watching his future wife have sex on screen when she worked as an actress was a ‘mistake’.
Around the time they started dating in 2016, the Duke of Sussex – who is planning to move back to the UK very soon with his wife – says he regretted looking up Meghan Markle on Google.
Back then, the actor starred as Rachel Zane in American law drama Suits, a role she played from 2011 to 2018.
In the season two finale, Rachel and her love interest Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Adams) get it on in the file room of their office block.
‘I didn’t need to see such things’
Harry previously wrote in his memoir Spare that he made the ‘mistake of Googling and watching some of her love scenes online’.
“I’d witnessed her and a castmate mauling each other in some sort of office or conference room,” he penned.

“I didn’t need to see such things live.”
Her last appearance in Suits saw Rachel marry Mike in the season seven finale.
The Duchess of Sussex, 45, quit show business shortly after her engagement to Harry, 41, which was announced in 2017.
‘I didn’t think I’d ever be in the entertainment industry again’
“For me, once we hit the 100-episode marker, I thought, ‘I have ticked this box and I feel really proud of the work we’ve done there, and now, it’s time to work as a team with [Harry]’,” she explained to the BBC at the time.
Meghan added to Vanity Fair in 2022: “I left Suits right after the 100th episode, in 2018. I didn’t think I’d ever be in the entertainment industry again.”

She is now set to play herself in new Amazon MGM Studios movie Close Personal Friends, which started filming in 2025.
The likes of Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Jack Quaid and Henry Golding are set to star in the Jason Orley led film.
“But the entire culture has changed; streamers have changed things. The ability to create zeitgeist moments like we had in the ’90s — where everyone would tune in at the same time for a show or gather for one moment? — that doesn’t happen anymore.”
Details on Harry and Meghan’s move back to the UK
The couple have been in the headlines this week after their plans to return to the UK permanently were revealed.
Reports suggest that the pair will be living with their two children in a private property outside London.

“I love my country, I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done,” Harry told the BBC in 2025 after losing his Court of Appeal challenge over downgraded security arrangements.
“I miss the UK, I miss parts of the UK. Of course I do. And I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”
“The UK is my home. The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US.”
“That cannot happen if it’s not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil. I cannot put my wife in danger like that and, given my experiences in life, I am reluctant to unnecessarily put myself in harm’s way too,” he added in a written witness statement read to the High Court during his legal challenge against the Home Office in 2023.
Why are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moving back to the UK?
Considering Prince Harry’s previous statements on privacy and safety concerns for his family, many have been left pondering over exactly why he and Meghan have made the decision to move back from the US.

While the couple are yet to confirm the reason, ITV’s royal editor Chris Shipp has outlined some theories.
Citing how Harry has missed living in the UK and has missed the connections and friends he has here, Shipp pointed out how Montecito in California – where the couple and their children have resided for a few years – is a very long way from home, both geographically and culturally.
“Neither Harry nor Meghan has enjoyed living in a country in which Donald Trump has been president, and where the partisan news coverage is very different to the way the media operates in Europe,” he wrote.
Shipp also raised the question of security, and said he had ‘heard some movement on the issue’ – but it’s unclear what plan is in place for Harry, Meghan and their family.
Previously, the government committee that decides security for high-profile royals and politicians used the Sussexes residency in California as one of the reasons for them not being granted taxpayer-funded security.
So moving back to the UK means that the Home Office committee, known as RAVEC, will have to reassess its previous decisions, according to Shipp.
As for work, Variety has reported that Meghan has been eyeing up on-screen work – including making a cameo of herself in Amazon MGM’s comedy Close Personal Friends.
