They say every girl wants to be a princess. But for commoners like the most of us, the only way to make this possible is to marry a real-life Prince — Meghan Markle did just that. However, she and Prince Harry are now stepping down from being senior Royals.
According to actor David Spade, Meghan Markle may have thought that she will live a fairytale life after marrying Prince Harry in 2018. But then she realized that being a part of the Royal family is not all rainbows and butterflies.
“I feel like she gets swept off her feet like the dream,” the Saturday Night Live actor said on an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. “She goes over to England and she has this crazy wedding and she’s literally royalty but then it gets a little mundane and she’s like, ‘All right, let’s head back to LA. I’ve got to go to my Cold Reading class on Pico again and just get back into acting.’ I think the fun part was over and now she sort of got a little bored.”
A previous report revealed that Meghan Markle was already crafting her own “brand” way before she met Prince Harry. According to a 2018 book “Meghan: A Hollywood Princess,” the Duchess of Sussex has been creating her personal brand since 2006.
This was that time that Meghan Markle was a part of a television game show called Deal or No Deal. She was one of the 26 “Briefcase Girls” on the show.
Meghan Markle reportedly “stood out” from the other models because of how he handled herself. While most of the girls went on night outs and met up for after-work activities, the Duchess of Sussex rarely joined them.
She also didn’t pose for silly pictures, and would always try to show off her best angles to the camera. Meghan Markle only drank champagne, didn’t engage with gossips and was apparently “never heard to swear.”
While many of the models felt extremely lucky to be a part of Deal or No Deal as it was a pretty popular show in the US, Meghan Markle saw it as a temporary stint and had her eyes on acting.
“Looking back, it was clear that she had a brand and wanted to protect that brand for a future career as a serious actor,” royal biographer Andrew Morton wrote. “She knew where she wanted to go and it certainly wasn’t spending her days on Deal or No Deal.”
Now, Meghan Markle is the wife of Prince Harry. Since the former actress had always been curious about her brand, she and Prince Harry have worked hard on their Royal Sussex brand over the past couple of years.
