Meghan Markle must have been nervous before her televised royal wedding to Prince Harry, but luckily her pal Wendell Pierce was on hand to offer some kind words of advice.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the knot in a lavish ceremony back in 2018, with their special day watched by fans around the world. Meghan's life was about to change forever as she joined the Royal Family and Wendell wanted to make sure she was ready.
The actor, who played Meghan's TV dad in the hit show Suits, has now revealed what he said to Meghan when they finished filming her final day of the legal drama. "I said, 'Meghan, your life is going to change, and you're going to be in a bubble, but just always remember, no matter what, I'm your friend — you have lots of friends'," Wendell shared.

Speaking about the build up to the ceremony, Meghan said she was in a "really calm space". Speaking on hers and Harry's Netflix docuseries, she admitted: "I don't know how I was so calm. All I wanted was a mimosa, a croissant and play the song 'Going to the Chapel'."
