Meghan Markle Shares Early Acting Struggles Before Suits Fame

Meghan Markle recently shared some insights about her life before becoming the Duchess of Sussex and her time on the hit show “Suits.” In a podcast episode of “Confessions of a Female Founder,” Meghan was joined by her former stylist and now CEO of Kitsch, Cassandra Morales Thurswell. The two reminisced about Meghan’s early days as an actress, constantly auditioning for roles and seeking styling advice from Thurswell.

Before landing her breakout role as Rachel Zane on “Suits,” Meghan sought help from Thurswell to spruce up her wardrobe for auditions. Despite not having much styling experience, Thurswell helped Meghan find essential pieces for her auditions. One memorable moment was when Thurswell recommended a pair of black patent leather Louboutin wedge flats, which Meghan wore to her final audition for “Suits” and ultimately booked the part.

After joining the cast of “Suits,” Meghan’s wardrobe became iconic, with her character Rachel known for her chic pencil skirts. Meghan revealed that she still has the pencil skirt she wore in the first episode of the show, calling it a “time capsule” from her time on set.

In recent years, “Suits” has experienced a resurgence in popularity, especially after being made available on Netflix. Meghan attributes the show’s continued success to its excellent writing and production quality, noting that she is not surprised by people rediscovering the series.

Overall, Meghan’s journey from auditioning for acting roles to becoming a beloved member of the British royal family has been a remarkable one. Her early collaboration with Cassandra Morales Thurswell and her time on “Suits” have undoubtedly left a lasting impact on both her career and personal style.

As Meghan continues to inspire others with her grace and elegance, her past experiences in the entertainment industry serve as a reminder of her resilience and determination to succeed.
