Harry and Meghan left the U.K. for California in 2020, after stepping down as senior working members of the royal family.

Before joining the royal family in 2018, Meghan was best known for playing paralegal Rachel Zane on the hit legal drama Suits. She was a main cast member for the show’s first seven seasons before leaving upon her engagement to Harry, at which time she stepped away from acting.

“I think what’s been so exciting [transitioning] out of my career and into, as you said, the causes I can focus even more energy on, very early out of the gate, [is that you] have a voice that people listen to, a lot of responsibility,” Meghan said at the time.

“I’ve been working on my show seven years, we were so fortunate to have that longevity, and I feel like I checked that box and am very proud of the work I’ve done there,” Meghan added of Suits.
