"Lili's now teething," she tells Ellen, who also happens to be a neighbour to her and the Duke of Sussex in Montecito, California.
She spoke with Ellen about how a lot has changed since her last talk show appearance. She used to be on the lot where The Ellen Show is filmed on a regular basis during her acting days, and the former Suits star shared anecdotes from her audition days.
"I would park on gate three and I would scoot on over and the security guards here would always say 'break a leg, I hope you get it'. So driving today was very different," she said.
"It had a life of its own so I had this very old Ford Explorer Sport and at a certain point the key stopped working on the driver's side, so you couldn't get yourself in through the door so after auditions, I would park at the back of the parking lot and I would open the trunk and climb in, pull the door shut behind me and crawl all over my seats to get out. That's how I would come to and fro."
When asked if anyone said anything about her strange behaviour, Markle said she had an explanation ready to go.
"No I would play it off, I'd go "Oh, I'm just looking for my resume, highlighters for my script. Maybe it's back there", and then crawl in and close it."
