A host of Meghan Markle’s nearest and dearest feature on her new Netflix show including her close pal Abigail Spencer – and here we take a look at exactly how they formed their tight bond
Meghan Markle set tongues wagging when she announced her new Instagram account for her new eight-part cookery show. The Duchess of Sussex’s latest series, With Love, Meghan, features famous faces from the royal’s inner circle, including her former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer.
Abigail, who played Dana ‘Scottie’ Scott in the legal drama which put Meghan’s name on the map, is one of 11 guests to appear on the programme. In one clip, Abigail’s seen tucking into one of Meghan’s desserts while talking about their time together. But just how close are the two women, and how far back do they go? Here, we take a closer look at Meghan’s relationship with Abigail.
Abigail, 43, born in Florida, described Meghan, also 43, as “one of my dearest friends” in an interview with E! News at Michael Kors’ New York Fashion Week last year. She added: “She’s the most wonderful. One of my dearest friends.”
The actresses have known each other for almost two decades, having first met at an audition in 2007. During an appearance on the Kelly Clarkson show last March, Abigail revealed: “It was 2007, I was doing a pilot for NBC, and I went to read with the people who were supposed to play my best friend. They were testing other actresses. I walk in, I see this beautiful gorgeous creature at the end of the table and I’m like, ‘Who is that?'”
