Meghan Markle’s ‘Deal or No Deal’ Days: Everything We Know About Her Time on the Show

Yep, Teigen herself has confirmed that the two crossed paths on the hit game show after Markle joined the cast in season two. Teigen was a part of the show from the pilot through the first season in a similar role to Markle—although she confirmed on The Ellen Degeneres Show that she vaguely remembers being demoted or fired for her inability to walk down the stairs gracefully. Teigen also has nothing but nice things to say about Markle: “I remember her just being very quiet and sweet. Just really kind, and I don’t say that about anybody.”

Back in December, the very briefcase that Markle carried on the series from 2006 to 2007 was auctioned off via the Hollywood: A Collector’s Ransom auction. According to the auction catalog, the suitcase was expected to bring in between $4,000 to $6,000.

In an interview with Esquire magazine that was published back in 2013, Markle was asked about her time as a “briefcase girl” on the show. Her reply? “I would put that in the category of things I was doing while I was auditioning to try to make ends meet. I went from working in the U.S. Embassy in Argentina to ending up on Deal. It’s run the gamut. Definitely working on Deal or No Deal was a learning experience, and it helped me to understand what I would rather be doing. So if that’s a way for me to gloss over that subject, then I will happily shift gears into something else.” Mic drop.
