But I’ll be on food stamps before I do that.” In the recent interview, Simon mentioned that the former SUITS actress wrote him a letter to thank him after she learnt about the offer he declined. “She said, ‘it’s nice to know there are still good people.'” He further revealed that the letter is framed at his house in California.
About how the Duchess knew Simon? The duo had acted together on a 2005 episode of the show, “Cuts.” Simon had explained, earlier in 2020 that he and Meghan had gone out to lunch a few times, and that it was a very platonic relationship. “Nothing happened. We never even kissed. We hung out once in a very non-datey way.” This is not the first time actors or actresses that Meghan Markle has worked with stand up in her defense.
One of which was “Suits” writer, Jon Cowan. He wrote on Twitter when Megan was faced with bullying allegations mostly against her staff. Cowan stated that “it’s also possible the Duchess of Sussex is a good person thrust into an unimaginable world. Having spent 3 years working with her in her pre-Duchess days, I saw a warm, kind, caring person.”
