A photo of Meghan Markle from 2006 has resurfaced online giving the Duchess of Sussex some serious throwback. She was wearing a sexy Santa outfit in the image, which was taken during her time as a briefcase model on the game show Deal or No Deal.
The Sun shared the photo of Meghan Markle in her sexy Santa outfit as the suitcase girl for the U.S. series. It was taken during the Christmas Day episode of the show's second season.
Before meeting Prince Harry and becoming the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan was a pretty established actress in the TV series Suits. However, like everyone who wanted to make it big in Hollywood, Meghan started from the bottom.
She said in a 2013 interview with Esquire that the job on Deal or No Deal was something she needed to do in between auditions to make ends meet. The experience apparently helped her understand what she wants to do with her career.
Meghan said that the work was not quite rewarding since she would stand on stage for five hours wearing inexpensive and uncomfortable five-inch heels. She also never got to carry a winning briefcase.
Before this job, Meghan was working at the U.S. Embassy in Argentina. After doing Deal or No Deal for one season, her Hollywood career picked up with movies and guest stints and finally, a role on the USA Network series Suits.
Meanwhile, in 2006, Prince Harry just completed his military training for the Blues and Royals in the British Army. But he figured in a controversy over a racial slur to describe one of his friends.
The Palace had to issue an apology on behalf of the Duke of Sussex. Even the Equality and Human Rights Commission got involve as they sought a formal inquiry into Prince Harry's behavior.
Prince Harry also got into squabbles with the paparazzi and before this, the duke was dead caught wearing a Nazi uniform for fun. He ended up apologizing publicly for this.
These questionable steps Prince Harry and Meghan took in their young life are now behind them. Now more mature as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the couple are forging ahead in representing Queen Elizabeth in their royal duties.
For now, however, Prince Harry and Meghan are taking a six-week break from their work for the holiday season. They are spending Christmas with Meghan's family in America and they will resume their royal duties in January 2020.
