The 43-year-old Canadian-American actor played Meghan’s on-screen love interest, Mike Ross, in the long-running legal drama Suits.
She captioned the post: ‘Well @iamsarahgrafferty and I have requested that Tuesday be officially renamed Sidebar Day.
‘Turns out it’s complicated and there’s a bit of paperwork but I’ll keep the faith.
‘Until then, enjoy our latest episode of the @suitssidebar podcast, Dirty Little Secrets, where we talk college pizza, clear up some misunderstandings about my towering height, and address the mystery of why Jessica doesn’t have an assistant.
“And I may or may not make a knock-off copy of William Wallace,” Adams concluded.
Reacting to her post, fans urged Adams to invite the Duchess of Sussex, who has experience in podcasting, to the show.
Meghan, 43, produced a season of her Archetypes podcast with Spotify before her and Harry’s lucrative £18million deal was dramatically scrapped last year.
Since parting ways with Spotify, the duchess has moved Archetypes to the female-founded network Lemonada Media that wants to “make life less suck.”
Excited about the possibility of Meghan, who quit Suits before her marriage to Prince Harry, meeting Adams on the podcast, one fan commented: ‘Invite Meghan please!’
The Duchess played Rachel Zane, a paralegal who becomes a formidable lawyer and eventually marries Mike (Adams).
Their friendship seemed strong when Adams was invited to the Sussexes’ 2018 royal wedding in Windsor.

Earlier this month, Adams revealed that Meghan sent him a sweet message, congratulating him on his new podcast, after previously admitting that the couple had little contact after the show.

But the actor admitted he received a touching note of support from the duchess, despite them losing contact in recent years.
“He now leads a very different life for obvious and important reasons,” he said while answering fans’ questions about his relationship with Meghan on Reddit.
‘But upon finding out about the podcast. I received a beautiful text saying how excited she was for us and asking how she could help us in any way.
“It’s wonderful to still have that kind of support and friendship after so many years apart,” Adams concluded.
Sidebar, hosted by Adams and Rafferty, 51, is “dedicated to re-watching and analyzing” the hit legal drama, with “special guests who played a role both in front of and behind the camera.”
Meghan left acting and quit Suits before her royal wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.
The couple have since stepped down as senior members of the royal family and moved to Montecito, California, with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
Asked about Entertainment Weekly Should the Duchess join them in the side bar, Rafferty declared that “everyone is invited.”
She explained: ‘Everyone is invited and everyone has been very supportive of us. It’s amazing.
“I just texted one of our directors, Mike Smith, Rachael Harris had some comments on our Instagram Live this morning, I can’t wait for Sheila Sazs to be featured on the show.
“I can’t wait to talk to Max Beesley and all the British actors we’ve had.”
Suits originally aired on USA Network for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019 and saw genius college dropout Mike Ross (Patrick) join a high-profile Manhattan law firm to work with brilliant lawyer Harvey Specter (Macht).
The Duchess played Rachel Zane, a paralegal who becomes a formidable lawyer and eventually marries Mike.
On her podcast, Adams shared how Meghan was “perfect” for the role of Rachel, saying, “It was pretty clear she was going to get the role from the moment we did the chemistry read.”
Suits was added to Netflix in June last year and quickly attracted viewers with its 134-episode catalog, which skyrocketed to become the most streamed show of 2023.
Earlier this year, it was reported that a spin-off series titled Suits: LA was in the works, four years after the original show that propelled Meghan into the spotlight ended.
Adams, who years ago supported Meghan as an “enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, generous, cheerful and supportive member of her TV family” when she was accused of “bullying” royal staff, earlier this year revealed that he had not ” communication”. with her former on-screen love interest.
In February, Adams and Macht confirmed they had not kept in touch with the duchess following the legal drama’s streaming success.
talking to The Hollywood Reporter On the set of T-Mobile’s Super Bowl commercial, which features the duo, the couple were asked, ‘Have you talked to Meghan Markle recently?’
“I haven’t communicated with her other than to see her great support for the revival, and that’s been really nice,” said American actor Gabriel, who played Harvey Specter in the series.
Patrick added: ‘Zero. No, there is no communication.
The actor then jokingly pretended he was receiving a call and said, “Oh, wait.” There she is. Oh, I have to go.’
