Meghan Markle says that she was much more of a \u201cloner\u201d growing up than people would think.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On an episode of her \u201cArchetypes\u201d podcast Tuesday, the Duchess of Sussex remarked that she was an \u201cugly duckling\u201d with \u201cmassive frizzy, curly hair and a huge gap\u201d in her teeth when she was younger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWere you not the pretty one growing up?\u201d actor Mindy Kaling asked the royal, who answered with an emphatic \u201cNo.<\/em> \u2015 oh God, no!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI never had anyone to sit with at lunch,\u201d Meghan said, adding that she \u201cwas always a little bit of a loner and really shy and didn’t know where I fit in.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The royal said that her lunch situation pushed her to become president of various school clubs, which held meetings at mealtime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cSo I didn’t have to worry about who I would sit with or what I would do because I was always so busy,\u201d Meghan told the \u201cMindy Project\u201d star.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThat makes me very emotional and I’m happy that people know that,\u201d Kaling said. \u201cI think people see you and they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh \u2014 like, the wedding [to Prince Harry], the couture fittings for that, and this and that.’ And I think that I certainly didn’t know that about you, and that’s nice to know.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kaling is the third guest so far on Meghan’s new Spotify and Archewell Audio show, which has also featured tennis icon Serena Williams and proud \u201cdiva\u201d Mariah Carey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meghan and Harry \u2014 who reside in California \u2014 are currently on a European tour of sorts, after the two publicly ventured back across the pond together for the first time since celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The couple attended the One Young World Summit on Monday, with Meghan delivering the youth leadership event’s keynote address.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt is very nice to be back in the UK,\u201d she said during her speech.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOftentimes we speak to young adults about the years ahead, about what you’ll do, what you’ll have to adopt to fix from previous generations and also what legacy you will leave.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cBut too often in that, we neglect the point that you’re doing it now. You \u2015 here, in this present moment \u2015 this is where it’s all beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After the couple’s stop in the UK, they headed to Germany to mark the one-year countdown to the next Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style event for military veterans that was founded by Harry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Thursday, the Sussexes are set to attend the 2022 WellChild Awards, another charity event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
