Adams. Adams, who plays Markle’s character Rachel Zane’s longtime fiancé Mike Ross on the TV show _Suits_, sent out a shocked tweet after seeing [Kensington Palace’s announcement](http://time.com/5037780/prince-harry-meghan-markle-engaged-wallis-simpson/?xid=homepage "undefined") that Markle will be joining England’s royal family. He wrote, “She said she was just going out to get some milk…” > [](https://twitter.com/halfadams/status/935168456957165568) The tongue-in-cheek tweet was perfect, as it’s expected that Markle’s and Adams’s characters will finally wed during the show’s new season. Both actors have already [announced their plans to leave _Suits_ ](http://ew.com/tv/2017/11/13/suits-stars-patrick-j-adams-meghan-markle-leaving-after-season-7-report/ "undefined")after the long-running legal drama’s seventh season. Adams later followed up his funny tweet with a sweet note to the happy couple—and to any fans who may have taken his dismay seriously. “Playing Meghan’s television partner for the better part of a decade uniquely qualifies me to say this: [Your Royal Highness](http://time.com/5038357/prince-harry-meghan-markle-interview/?iid=sr-link2 "undefined"), you are a lucky man and I know your long life together will be joyful, productive and hilarious,” Adams wrote on Instagram and Twitter. “Meghan, so happy for you, friend. Much love.” Adams wasn’t the only _Suits_ star to send his well wishes to [Prince Harry and Markle](http://time.com/5038618/prince-harry-meghan-markle-engaged-bbc-interview-transcript/?iid=sr-link1 "undefined"). Wendell Pierce, who plays Markle’s onscreen father, also gave the couple his blessing. > [](https://twitter.com/WendellPierce/status/935170930241781761) Meghan Markle's TV Fiancé Is Taking the Engagement News Hard ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5039082/meghan-markle-harry-engagement-patrick-adams-reaction/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5039082/meghan-markle-harry-engagement-patrick-adams-reaction/"},"headline":"Meghan Markle's TV Fiancé Is Taking the Engagement News Pretty Hard","datePublished":"2017-11-28T16:04:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:42.186Z","description":"Markle's \"Suits\" co-star just may be the only one shocked by the news","url":"https://time.com/5039082/meghan-markle-harry-engagement-patrick-adams-reaction/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","british royal family"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt820bcc7a10bd8d21/6988df564ee262ba4930f253/gettyimages-853820012.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt820bcc7a10bd8d21/6988df564ee262ba4930f253/gettyimages-853820012.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Invictus Games Toronto 2017 - Day 3","caption":"Invictus Games Toronto 2017 - Day 3","creditText":"Chris Jackson—Getty Images for the Invictus Games Foundation","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5039082/meghan-markle-harry-engagement-patrick-adams-reaction/","name":"Meghan Markle's TV Fiancé Is Taking the Engagement News Pretty Hard"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"Markle's \"Suits\" co-star just may be the only one shocked by the news","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5039082/meghan-markle-harry-engagement-patrick-adams-reaction/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5039082/meghan-markle-harry-engagement-patrick-adams-reaction/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
