This hopefully won’t come as a shock, but Meghan Markle will not be returning to the legal drama Suits after the show’s seventh season.

The actress (and former Deal or No Deal briefcase model) announced with England’s Prince Harry this week that the pair will be getting married in 2018, so it’s safe to say she was planning on making a lifestyle shift. Namely, a move to England. She even mentioned in an interview this week that she had loved her years at the show, but it was time for her to “work with Harry as a team” now.

“I don’t see it as giving anything up. I just see it as a change,” she explained. “It’s a new chapter, right? Also keep in mind I had been working on my show for seven years. So we were 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, you know what, I have ticked this box, and I feel very proud of the work I had done there.”

The USA network apparently wanted to avoid any confusion with the Suitors, though, and released an official statement Tuesday evening:
