Meghan Markle on 'Ellen' show: Duchess talks audition struggles before royal family fame

The Duchess of Sussex will appear on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Thursday. In a preview clip, Markle revealed she used to drive to the Warner Bros. lot, where “Ellen” is taped, earl in her acting career.

"I would park at gate three and scoot over … The security guards would always say, ‘Break a leg. I hope you get it.’ I think they probably said it to everybody. … Driving here today was very different," Markle admitted. 

The British royal family member said she used to drive an old Ford Explorer Sport, and at one point, the key stopped working so she couldn't open the door on the driver's side. 

"So after auditions, I would park in the back of the parking lot and I would open the trunk, climb in, pull it shut behind me and crawl over all of my seats to get out that's how I would come to and fro," she laughed.
