Meghan Markle playfully pouts for the camera as she learns her lines for Suits in unseen throwback photo with co-stars Rick Hoffman and Patrick J Adams
Suits star Rick Hoffman has shared a playful throwback photograph of himself with Meghan Markle during a table read.
In the black and white snap, the Duchess of Sussex, 39, who played the paralegal-turned-lawyer Rachel Zane, can be seen sitting at the table with actors Rick Hoffman (who plays sarcastic lawyer Louis Litt) and Patrick J Adams (Meghan's on-screen husband Mike Ross) with an open script in front of her.
But while her on-screen husband looks deep in concentration as he learns his lines, the royal seizes the moment to take a break from work. Turning her head to the side, she gives a cheeky pout to the camera, resulting in a smile from her co-star, Rick.
The snap, which was originally taken by actress Sarah Rafferty, was shared to Instagram by Rick alongside a caption which read: 'A long time ago.. in a galaxy far far away… #repost #suitsonset.’
Meghan, who cuts a casual figure in a round neck, long sleeved top and wears her brown hair loosely scraped back in a bun, starred in the show's first seven seasons until she retired from acting ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry.

The US drama, which ran for nine seasons until 2019, focuses on the story of college dropout Mike Ross (Patrick J Adams) who ends up working with high-flying New York lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht).
When Meghan left the show, writers had Rachel and her husband Mike Ross move to Seattle to start their own law offices, but her character's memory was still alive and well in the finale - even if she wasn't in it.
During a scene with her character's father, Robert Zane (Wendell Pierce), a photo of him with his TV daughter was visible on his desk. The writers also couldn't resist referencing the royal family with a subtle nod to Markle's husband, Prince Harry.
'You're not the prince of England,' Harvey told Louis Ritt towards the end of the episode.

The series concluded with Harvey and his now-wife Donna (Sarah Rafferty) planning to leave New York to work with Mike and Rachel in Seattle.
However, Rick and Patrick’s friendship with the Duchess of Sussex has lasted past the show, as they were both guests at Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on 19 May 2018.
Despite this, Rick was forced to explain his 'unimpressed' facial expression during the ceremony.
He revealed why he looked so uncomfortable as he shared his somewhat smelly experience at the star-studded nuptials on Instagram .
The Postal star looked grumpy throughout the ceremony, but it wasn't boredom that caused the cringing look - but someone's bad breath.
Rick took to Instagram following the royal event, and broke the reception protocol banning phones, to share with fans exactly why his meme-worthy face happened.

The New York native titled his video 'Royal Wedding Face #Brushyourteeth' as he explained what happened.
Rick told his fans: 'So to answer any questions about the weird face that was made at the wedding, imagine sitting next to people to your right - not knowing which person it was - that has halitosis'.
'Um. Hence the face. That is apparently all over the place. So it's as simple as that, Charlie. Love you guys. Yah. Halitosis. Disgusting.'
Other cast members who attended the royal wedding included Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, Gina Torres and Abigail Spencer.
The Suits cohort were all seated near each other inside the church for the lavish ceremony.
