Meghan Markle Opens Up About Her Acting Career’s Sudden Turn

Even Meghan Markle never thought that she would one day live a royal life behind the gates of Kensington Palace. As a matter of fact, the former Hollywood actress joked during the recent red carpet premiere of The Lion King that she was quite surprised herself when her acting career took an unexpected turn the moment that she met Prince Harry. Here’s what she has to say.

Catching Up With Old Friends

According to People Magazine, actor Billy Eichner got to spend some time with Meghan during the London premiere of Disney’s latest live action film. Apparently, they had a lot to chat about as they caught up with one another and their lives.

“Meghan and I both went to college together — we were both theatre majors at Northwestern. We didn’t know each other when we were there, but we were there at the same time,” Eichner explained on Today with Hoda and Jenna on Tuesday while watching a clip of their meeting. “In the middle of this huge royal premiere you’re looking at, right there we’re having a very casual conversation about our acting teachers at Northwestern.”

Billy also added that after Meghan congratulated him on his success, he told her how proud he was of her new royal life. Meghan stepped down from her role as Rachel Zane on the hit USA legal drama Suits right before she and Prince Harry announced their engagement back in November of 2017. And as many royal fans know, the rest is history.
