Her surprise TV appearance came as a shock as it was long rumoured that the Duchess would give her first interview to Ellen after she and Harry emigrated in January 2020. But in the end the Sussexes chose their neighbour in Montecito, Oprah Winfrey.
Ellen, who is ending her show after 19 seasons is close friends with Meghan having bonded at a LA dog shelter where the talk show host encouraged Meghan to adopt her first dog Bogart. The women have stayed in touch ever since.
During her appearance earlier this week, the Duchess spoke about her
Hollywood auditions, and said: 'So I had this very old Ford Explore 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 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.'
Meghan told the host: 'I would park on gate three and I would scoot on over and the security guards here would always say "break a leg, I hope you get it". So driving today was very different.'
While the duchess has never publicly spoken of a wish to run for presidency, some people believe it's "possible... even likely" that she will, with one claiming she's the "embodiment of the American dream".
