“The internet is our friend,” Fitz-Henley told Us. “There are so many videos and also Meghan has written a lot, so to be able to read her own words about her experiences gave me some great insight into her. I watched several episodes [of Suits] and I did binge The Crown before filming. It’s amazing and it felt like it was something that Meghan might do, so I used some of my free time for that.”
