An unseen photograph of Meghan Markle has been shared by her former Suits co-star Patrick J Adams, triggering a debate on social media on whether she’ll join a mini reunion of the show’s actors.

Adams and Markle played out an on-screen couple Mike Ross and Rachel Zane on the long-running legal drama series - and had a strong friendship away from the cameras with Adams invited to the Sussexes’ royal wedding in 2018.

Now, Adams has posted 10 behind-the-scenes images from the filming Suits, including a black and white image of Meghan, in a post on Instragram promoting a podcast episode.

The Sidebar podcast is co-hosted by Adams with Suits actress Sarah Rafferty, who played character Donna Paulsen.

The social media post immediately got fans asking Adams to also invite the Duchess of Sussex, who quit Suits ahead of marrying Prince Harry onto the show. One person commented: “Invite Meghan please!”.

The online debate comes as King Charles enjoyed an Indian spa break while on his way home from his tour of Australia and Samoa.

The King, who is receiving treatment in his battle with cancer, stayed at the SOUKYA resort in Bengaluru in India which describes itself as a “holistic health destination to restore your body’s natural balance of mind, body and spirit”.

‘Feels like he’s coming home’: William’s connection to homeless centre

The Passage, a homeless centre in central London where William volunteers, has said his visits “feel like he is coming home”.

The Prince of Wales has been supporting the centre since he was 11, when his mother, Princess Diana, took him there with Prince Harry in 1993.

The shelter’s director Mick Clarke said: “We see him as the real person. When he comes, he is very relaxed, very chilled.”

Mr Clarke said there is a familial bond between the Prince and the centre, adding: “People who have lived with homelessness are very good at instantly sussing whether someone is straightforward and authentic or not, and Prince William just seems very comfortable.

“You can see his shoulders drop as soon as he walks in. It feels like he is coming home.”

William has praised his late mother, Diana, for inspiring his commitment to addressing homelessness in a new two-part documentary series, which chronicles the first year of the Prince Homewards programme.

The documentary focuses on six locations significantly affected by homelessness, including Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Lambeth in London, Newport in Northern Ireland, and Sheffield.
