Meghan, formally known as the Duchess of
Sussex, sat down with DeGeneres for an episode that will air in
the United States on Thursday, producers of the daytime show
said on Wednesday.
It was the first big TV appearance for Meghan since she and
Harry gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey in March and
spelled out their unhappiness at life within the royal family.
The former "Suits" actress, who gave up her acting career when
she married Harry in 2018, related an anecdote about her many
auditions when she was starting out as an actress in Los
Angeles, according to a clip of her surprise appearance.
“I had this very old Ford Explorer Sport and, at a certain
point, the key stopped working on the driver’s side, so you
couldn’t get yourself in through the door," she told DeGeneres.
"So after auditions, I would park at the back of the parking lot
and I would open the trunk and climb in, pull the door shut
behind me and crawl all over my seats to get out. That’s how I
would come to and fro.”
Since quitting their royal duties and moving to California in
2020, Meghan and Harry have largely restricted their public
outings to charitable events or conferences that promote the
work of their Archewell foundation on issues ranging from
disinformation in the media to women, hunger and mental health.
They have also signed lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify
to produce their own TV shows and podcasts.
