Before meeting Prince Harry, Meghan Markle was one of the briefcase models on Deal or No Deal in the US. While Meghan, 44, has previously said she was grateful for the show, she also had some criticism about her time on the programme too. On an episode of her first Spotify podcast series ‘Archetypes’, Meghan said: "I was thankful for the job but not for how it made me feel. Which was…not smart. And by the way, I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me."

The duchess appeared to love the role, and even gave it up to eventually marry Harry. Meghan reportedly once admitted to a fan that she missed the show, which she worked on for six years.
