Meghan Markle has revealed she was an 'ugly duckling' as a child with no one to sit with at lunchtime at school. When speaking to actress and comedian Mindy Kaling for her new podcast series Archetypes, the Duchess admits that she kept herself busy with extracurricular activity so that she had something to do at break time.
The former Suits star told The Mindy Project creator about her "unconventional beauty" growing up, which left Mindy stunned. The pair were speaking for the third episode of the new Spotify podcast, which sees Meghan unpick female stereotypes with a guest speaker each week, and this time discussed the stigma attached to being a single woman.
Touching on her own experiences of 'always being the single one', Mindy said: "I grew up always feeling ugly, overweight, 'othered', and so, with my daughter, I'm always telling her that she's beautiful to the point where my friend BJ is like 'You can tell her other compliments!'".
