In the early 2000s, former American actress Meghan Markle reached the pinnacle of her career. The then-star attained many coveted titles, such as the most Googled actress and so on. All of it was due to her most notable role as Rachel Zane in Suits. However, apart from it, there are yet many more shows and movies by Markle that have some unforgettable memories etched to date. Do you remember the briefcase girl in Deal or No Deal? 

The same girl who made it to Buckingham palace? Yes, although it was not the fairytale many wished for, many yearned for life as such. Meghan’s co-model in the American game show, Chrissy Teigen, also harbored somewhat of the same wish. That star who has just appeared in eight episodes of the show later lost it to Meghan. However, this has been a lifelong regret for Teigen, or so as she said.
