"She is determined to continue her work building compassion around the world and will keep striving to set an example for doing what is right and doing what is good," the representative added.

Meghan Markle and I spent the better part of a decade working together on Suits. From day one she was an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, giving, joyful and supportive member of our television family. She remained that person and colleague as fame, prestige and power accrued.
