Meghan Markle quit her 2006 job as a briefcase girl on \u201cDeal or No Deal\u201d because she felt she was being \u201creduced to a bimbo.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex reflected on her brief stint on the game show, admitting she was \u201creally grateful\u201d to have a job that could pay her bills but felt there was \u201clittle substance\u201d to the role.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ended up quitting the show. I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage,\u201d she said on the latest episode of her podcast, \u201cArchetypes.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks and little substance, and that’s how it felt for me at the time being reduced to this specific archetype: the word ‘bimbo.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Markle, 41, who spoke to Paris Hilton in the episode, reflected on studying international relations in college and riding in a motorcade with a politician in Argentina and came to the conclusion that the job didn’t align with her values.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was grateful for the job, but not about how it made me feel, which was not smart,\u201d she said. \u201cBy the way I was surrounded by smart women \u2026 but that wasn’t the focus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Markle said the women would \u201cline up\u201d to receive lashes, hair extensions, padding for their bras and even spray tan vouchers because production had a \u201ccookie-cutter idea\u201d of how they should look.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was solely about beauty and not necessarily about brains,\u201d Markle recalled, adding that a woman kept telling her to \u201csuck it in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now a mother of two, Markle said she aspires for her daughter, Lilibet, to be known for her brains rather than her beauty.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want our daughter to aspire to be slightly higher,\u201d Markle said. \u201cYeah, I want my Lili to want to be educated and want to be smart and to pride herself on those things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Markle appeared on \u201cDeal or No Deal\u201d from 2006 to 2007 before becoming a regular on USA Network’s \u201cSuits\u201d in 2011. She married Prince Harry in May 2018 and left the series \u2014 and acting \u2014 altogether.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the now US-based couple’s royal wedding, \u201cDeal or No Deal\u201d host Howie Mandel admitted he didn’t remember Markle’s time on the series.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
