Meghan Markle demands actresses who play her show off her ‘softness,’ ‘playfulness’ and ‘dimensions’

Hollywood shakeup! Meghan Markle wasn’t a stranger to fame when she fell in love with Prince Harry — but following their 2018 wedding, actresses started clamoring to play her on screen.

Meghan Markle is still struggling with the fact that someone may play her on screen. The Duchess of Sussex was previously named as one of Variety’s Power of Women honorees, but her cover story was postponed during the mourning period of Queen Elizabeth II's passing. Britain’s longest-reigning monarch passed away on Sept.

A new perspective. Meghan Markle opened up about the process of creating her upcoming Netflix documentary with husband Prince Harry, hinting that it wasn’t exactly what the pair expected.

Meghan Markle has said it would be “great” if her kids wanted to enter the entertainment industry but insisted on them “carving out their own path.” Speaking to Variety in her first major interview since Queen Elizabeth’s death in September, the former Suits actress talked about everything from her previous interview with Oprah to her relationship with Prince Harry and the Royal Family. Meghan, 41, also spoke on her extensive acting career and, most notably, whether she thinks kids Archie, three, and Lillibet, one, will follow in her footsteps.The US-based publication asked Meghan: “What would you say if one of your kids came to you in 10 or 15 years and said, ‘I want a career in entertainment’?” The Duchess of Sussex replied: “I would say, ‘Great!’ When you become a parent, you genuinely want your kids to find the things that bring them complete joy.

Meghan Markle has had a busy few days with the release of the latest episode of her Archetypes podcast featuring Paris Hilton and now the release of her new interview with Variety magazine. During her interview with the US-based publication in the days following the royal mourning period ending, the Duchess of Sussex, 41, touched upon topics that many have wondered the answer to.

Meghan Markle, sped past a group of 60-something women who’d made the trek to Montecito to celebrate a milestone birthday. Teetering on the dusty cobblestone walkway in their wedges and kitten heels, the group stopped dead as Meghan waved and smiled from a golf cart delivering her to her Variety cover shoot. “Can you imagine?” said one of the women wistfully after the duchess had passed, perhaps talking about the life she has led thus far — an American woman meeting and marrying a handsome young prince beloved by all the world — or maybe, as we were there to discuss, the life she’s leading now.

For many couples, marriage is a step in their relationship that follows several months, or often years, of dating before deciding to take the plunge and tie the knot. For Meghan Markle it took a year of dating Prince Harry to realise he was “the one” she wanted to spend the rest of her life with; while Prince William and Kate Middleton enjoyed an eight-year courtship before saying “I do.” However, Meghan's mother Doria Ragland defied convention and married Meghan’s father Thomas Markle after a whirlwind romance lasting just a few short months together - much to the surprise of her family.

Meghan Markle’s latest episode of the podcast is hot! During episode 6, the Duchess of Sussex has a candid conversation with Paris Hilton, where they break down the term “bimbo” and the dumb blonde trope that stuck with the star for most of her career. At the start of the episode, Meghan reflects on her time on in 2006, where she was a briefcase girl. The 41-year-old says that the experience was «fascinating,» but she ultimately quit because she wasn’t valued in the way she wanted to be.

Meghan Markle spoke candidly about her time on NBC’s “Deal or No Deal” before chatting to Paris Hilton on the latest episode of her “Archetypes” podcast.

Meghan Markle has spoken about her hopes for her daughter Lilibet’s future while also revealing the reason she left Deal or No Deal. On the new episode of her podcast Archetypes, which hopes to explore "labels that try to hold women back", Meghan spoke with Paris Hilton about the terms “bimbo” and “dumb blonde.” While Paris admitted to leaning into the stereotypes to better her career, Meghan discussed how she thinks the word “bimbo” has negative connotations.The 41 year old Duchess of Sussex explained: "I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on this idea because when I hear the word bimbo, I have a very negative connotation to it.

Archetypes” podcast.The Duchess of Sussex, 41, opened the episode reminiscing on her “fascinating” experience as a briefcase girl on “Deal or No Deal” while she was pursuing acting, a few years before landing her role in “Suits.”The former actress appeared on Season 2 of the show in 2006, and while she acknowledged that she was “grateful” for the job, she felt she was valued for all the wrong reasons. Markle said she would be on set for the game show and think back to her time as a college intern at the US Embassy in Argentina, where she was “being valued specifically for my brain.”“Here, I was being valued for something quite the opposite,” she said about “Deal or No Deal.”“There was a very cookie-cutter idea of precisely what we should look like,” Markle added, sharing that girls would line up at tapings for different stations where they would put on lashes, get extensions put in or get padding in their bras — and they even received spray tan vouchers every week.”“It was solely about beauty, and not necessarily about brains,” the Duchess said.Markle shared one detail she would “never forget,” when one producer on the show who couldn’t pronounce her last name would scream, “Mar-kell suck it in!” repeatedly. She ended up quitting the show, revealing she was “thankful for the job, but not how it made me feel, which was not smart.”“I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me but that wasn’t the focus of why we were there,” Markle said.“I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach knowing I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage,” she continued. “I didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks and little substance.

Meghan Markle has revealed she quit Deal or No Deal after being "objectified" on stage in the latest episode of her Spotify podcast, Archetypes. In her latest Spotify episode – titled Breaking Down 'The Bimbo' with Paris Hilton' – The Duchess of Sussex said she was told to "suck it in" by a woman who helped run the US version of the hit game show back in 2006.

The former actress, 41, discussed her mental health struggles on the fifth, and most recent, episode of her podcast Archetypes.
