Meghan Markle Has an ‘Open Invitation’ to Return to “Suits”, Says Show Creator Aaron Korsh (Exclusive)

Meghan Markle has an open invitation to step back into Rachel Zane's shoes!
While attending the premiere of the show's spinoff, Suits LA, in California on Thursday, Feb. 20, Suits creator Aaron Korsh spoke about the possibility of a cameo from the Duchess of Sussex following her exit from the legal drama in 2018.
“So, look, to me, we have thought about whether it be Meghan or any of the other cast members coming on and playing themselves as an actor,” Korsh, 58, exclusively tells PEOPLE. “I think for me that's a little ... My brain blows up at the thought of that.
“So I think it blows up the world too much,” he continues. “Obviously, if Meghan wants to come back under any circumstances, Meghan can come back.”
When asked if the Duchess of Sussex has an open invitation to rejoin the cast of the NBCUniversal series, Korsh adds, “Of course. Of course. Always. But I think realistically, it would be too much of an explosion of the fourth wall to do that. Yeah.”
Suits LA is set to debut on Feb. 23 in the same universe as the original legal drama but with a different cast. As previously reported by PEOPLE, the spinoff was announced shortly after the original series, which is set in New York, had a resurgence in popularity on Netflix.
Meghan was introduced as paralegal Rachel Zane in season 1 of the drama. The series marked Meghan's breakout role, with the 43-year-old appearing in 108 episodes before exiting at the end of season 7.

Ahead of marrying Prince Harry in May 2018, the Duchess of Sussex’s character was written out of the series, with Rachel moving to Seattle after marrying onscreen boyfriend Mike Ross, played by Patrick J. Adams.
Korsh told the BBC back in 2017 that he was taking “a gamble” by penning a storyline that involved Meghan leaving the drama, months before Harry, 40, proposed in November 2017.
"I knew from a year ago that this relationship was burgeoning,” Korsh told BBC at the time. "And I had a decision to make because I didn't want to intrude and ask her, 'Hey what's going on and what are you going to do?' "
"So collectively with the writers, we decided to take a gamble that these two people were in love and it was going to work out,” he continued of the couple, who started dating in July 2016.
Meghan and Harry announced their engagement on Nov. 27, 2017, while her final episode of Suits aired in April 2018 —just weeks before they tied the knot on May 19, 2018.
“I don’t see it as giving anything up. I just see it as a change,” Meghan said of leaving Suits in her and Harry's first joint interview in November 2017. “It’s a new chapter, right? And also, keep in mind, I’ve been working on [Suits] for seven years. We were very, very fortunate to have that sort of longevity on a series.”
“I’ve ticked this box, and I feel very proud of the work I’ve done there, and now it’s time to work with [Harry] as a team,” she added.
