Recalling how proud she felt to see her friend get married, Rafferty, who plays Donna Paulsen on the hit USA series, recently toldEntertainment Tonight,“It was a wonderful moment to get to see [Meghan] on that day and in that moment. It was special.”

While Rafferty enjoyed the nuptials, Macht’s favorite wedding moment was the lunchtime reception after.

“It was surprising to seeElton Johnplay ‘I’m Still Standing.’ He’s still standing, he was incredible and that was an incredible moment,” said Macht, 45, who plays Harvey Spector on the hit series.

“I think, overall, just to be a part of such an uplifting story, you know? A story of inclusion, love –– and there’s so much stuff out there that’s so depressing and dark. This was just a remarkable day to go and support her and the royal family and it was an amazing time,” he added.

Ahead of the reception, the groom himself asked John to perform, in recognition of the musician’s personal connection to his family. John was close friends with Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, and famously performed a rendition of his song “Candle In the Wind” at her funeral in 1997.
