Things have changed a lot of Meghan Markle in the last few years. The former actress has married Prince Harry, become the Duchess of Sussex, stepped back from royal life, moved to the UK and back again, had two adorable little ones, become an author-producer-activist, and much more. And while she's occasionally spoken out during these rollercoaster years, as she and Prince Harry did when they sat down with Oprah for a bombshell interview earlier this year, those occasions have been few and far between. Which makes the news that the duchess will be appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week all the more exciting.
Ahead of the full interview, which will air on Thursday, the show shared a sneak peek clip featuring Meghan reminiscing about her acting days and her visits to the Warner Bros. lot.
"The security guards would always say, 'Break a leg! We hope you get it!' So the drive in today was very different," Meghan laughed about when she would come to the lot, where the talk show is filmed, for auditions. She later told Ellen, "I think they probably said it to everybody. That's how nice they were."
From the sound of things, her ride has improved a bit from those bygone audition days, though. Meghan described driving a Ford Explorer Sport with "a life of its own," explaining that the key on the driver's side door didn't work. "I would park in the back of the parking lot and open the trunk, then climb in and pull it shut behind me and crawl over all my seats to get out. That's how I would come to and fro."
The full interview will debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday, November 18. Check your local listings here for what time to tune in.
