The now duchess acknowledges in an audio that she was a fraud.
A video of Meghan Markle calling herself a “fraud” for apparently lying to casting directors for a role early in her career has resurfaced on social media. The material is known amid rumors that the American will return to the screens after the resignation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from the royal family.
The clip, which was part of a promotional appearance Meghan made for her TV series Suits, shows the duchess confessing that she told audition directors that she was in the actors' union when she never was.
The host asks the panel what role got them their first card from the Screen Actors Guild, a union in the United States that represents more than 100,000 actors.
In a video, Prince Harry's wife, who may be looking to return to Hollywood, admits to having pretended to be in the actors' union at an audition to get a small part in a show called Century City, a CBS show from 2004. When casting directors asked Meghan if she was part of the union, she said, “Of course I am.” And then, laughing, she added: “I was a big fraud.”
