Fans Played the *Suits* Theme Song to Greet Meghan Markle, and It Was Everything
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand continued Tuesday (October 30) with a stop in Auckland, New Zealand. The couple kicked things off with a walkabout, during which they greeted dozens of fans—including a full brass band, who started playing the Suits theme song upon their arrival. No, that’s not a joke or an exaggeration: A band seriously jammed out to Ima Robot’s “Greenback Boogie” as Markle and Prince Harry waved at passersby.
Markle didn’t react to the song, but the moment is iconic nonetheless. The duchess of Sussex hasn’t really discussed the popular USA TV show that made her a star. In September Markle reportedly said she hadn’t seen the latest season of Suits, but that’s the only soundbite she’s given on the subject since becoming a royal.
Watch the band greet Markle with a blast from her Suits past below:
In November 2017 Markle opened up about how she’s ready to close the chapter on Suits and start a new one with Prince Harry. “I don’t see it as giving anything up,” she said. “I just see it as a change. It’s a new chapter. I’ve been working on my show for seven years. We’re very, very fortunate to be able to have that sort of longevity on a series. For me, once we hit the 100-episode marker, I thought, I’ve ticked this box. I feel really proud of the work I’ve done there, and now it’s time to work as a team with [Prince Harry].”
If Markle is looking for something to watch on TV, though, the current season of Suits is pretty lit.
