However, the insider added that the Suits cast feel let down by the Duchess of Sussex.
The source said: "It’s all very well for Meghan to expect support when she needs it and obviously she's desperate for this podcast to be a success, but a lot of people think she’s got real cheek to be asking for any sort of help from her old co-stars.
"After all she refused to take part in their recent reunion and has shown no interest in staying in touch with the majority of them – she wouldn’t even join their WhatsApp group.
The insider continued: "Meghan doesn’t ever put Suits down, but she’s certainly distanced herself from most of the cast and from the show.

"It’s pretty insulting and the feeling is that she ought to be a lot more loyal to her roots.
"The show is what made her famous, it’s safe to say she’d never have met Harry without the success she had from Suits, so it just strikes a lot of people as a bit ungrateful that she seemed to want to get as far away from it as possible the moment she married him.
"So, for her to now come with cap in hand asking for them to appear on her podcast and help promote her products is pretty tone-deaf, to say the least.
"She’s going to need to explain herself and do some serious damage control if she’s going to have any chance of wooing them back to her side because there are a lot of hurt feelings."
