Meghan Markle thanked co-actor Simon Rex for not lying about her

A year after Simon Rex said he was offered $70,000 to lie about his relationship with Meghan Markle, the American actor has revealed that the Duchess of Sussex had thanked him for refusing to accept the offer.

In a latest interview with The Guardian, Meghan's former friend said he was in need of money when multiple tabloids wanted him to say he slept with his "Cuts" co-star.

“I was broke as f***! I really needed the money."But I'll be on food stamps before I do that."

Rex said that Markle thanked him in a letter, which he framed and keeps at his home in Joshua Tree in Southern California.

"She said: 'It's nice to know there are still good people," Rex said.
