Silver is a close friend of Meghan’s, from Petaluma, California, around 40 miles north of San Francisco. Between 2014 and 2018, she was an executive producer and occasional director of US legal drama Suits, in which Meghan starred for seven seasons.

Her credits include episodes of Netflix’s You, Dead to Me, and the US version of Shameless. She is also set to direct a remake of the Michael Douglas 1987 thriller, Fatal Attraction.

Writing on Twitter, she has referred to Meghan as one of her “nearest and dearest” friends. In posts shared in May 2021, she said: “On her [Meghan’s] wedding day she checks in on me in the morning.

Discover, learn, grow. We are Curiously. Follow us on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

“It’s her day, the world is standing by, it’s a lot-but she wants the day to be special for me. ‘You’ve come such a long way’ she says ‘Are you jet lagged?’ she says ‘I made you a playlist to listen to while you get ready’.

“When my son was going through a scary, complicated diagnosis she is the friend who stopped everything and helped map out, step by step, how we would navigate things. She called all the people, all the places when I was too paralyzed to form a plan.

“She’s [Meghan] the friend who shares her all of her secrets with you, because despite having so many reasons to put walls up her heart remains as wide open as it always has been. This is Meg before she met H.

“This is Meg now. She’s always been this person. She’s not a headline.

“She’s my friend. I love her.”

As a close friend of the couple, Silver was in attendance at Harry and Meghan’s wedding at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018.
