An interview – due out on Thursday – follows the Duchess of Sussex’s bombshell chat with Oprah Winfrey eight months ago.
Meghan, formally called the Duchess of Sussex, spoke with hosts Ellen DeGeneres for a daytime show on Thursday; producers said Wednesday.
The website for Ellentube.com said, “The activist and co-founder of Archewell will discuss growing up and returning to California, as well as her New York Times bestselling children’s book The Bench.”
The Ellen Show’s host released a trailer on Twitter earlier, confirming the Duchess of Sussex would appear on Thursday US time.
In March, she and Harry gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey during which they expressed their dissatisfaction with their lives as members of the royal family. It was Meghan’s first appearance since then.
What were the main topics discussed?
In a clip of her surprise appearance, the former “Suits” actress shared an anecdote about her auditions when she started as an actress in Los Angeles.
“I had this very old Ford Explorer Sport and it stopped working at one point on the driver’s side, meaning you couldn’t get in through the door,” she said to DeGeneres.
‘So after auditions, I would park at the back of the parking lot, open the trunk, climb in, close the door behind me, and crawl all over my seats to get out. That’s how I would come and go.”
Meghan also accused an unnamed royal family member of racism during her interview with Oprah Winfrey and spoke about it in the DeGeneres show.
In addition, they alleged that the monarchy failed to provide support for the duchess when she had suicidal thoughts, and cited Harry’s troubles with the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge.
What did Meghan wear, and who was with her?
The actress looked stunning in a cream top with voluminous sleeves and cut-outs paired with black pants and matching pumps. She had her trusted glam team with her, including Daniel Martin, makeup artist, and hairstylist Jason Low.
“We were backstage the entire show,” Martin tells PEOPLE. “It was really fun and Elley brought out Meghan’s goofy, humorous side, which everyone can finally see.”
Ellen and Meghan, what is their relationship like?
Years ago, Meghan and the talk show host met at a dog shelter, where the former actress was considering adopting her first dog, Bogart.
Ellen asked me, “Is that your dog?” And I responded, “No,” and she said, “Could you rescue that dog?” Meghan recalled in Best Health. “It’s like Oprah told you to do something.”
He’s lying there in my arms, and she asks, “Have you thought about naming him yet?’ I replied, “Well, I think I’ll name him Bogart,” and she replied, ‘You’re taking this puppy home.”
What are the couple’s future projects?
Meghan and Harry have restricted their public appearances since quitting royal duties and moving to California in 2020 to charitable events or conferences promoting Archewell’s work on issues ranging from disinformation in the media to women’s issues.
Furthermore, they have signed lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify to produce their TV shows and podcasts.
