The interview is published in The Game Changers, a self-help book for women in leadership positions.

An extract from the book, published in Thursday's The Daily Telegraph, quotes Meghan saying Rachel's life is 'a tad more dramatic' than hers, adding: 'She certainly cries a lot more than I do, but for good reason.'

Meghan also describes her rise to fame from humble beginnings, revealing: 'I started working at a soup kitchen in skid row of LA when I was 13 years old, and the first day I felt really scared.'

Her formative years are certainly at odds with her beau Prince Harry's royal upbringing.

Prince Harry issued an explosive statement yesterday confirming his relationship with Meghan Markle – but demanding that they be left alone to stop their romance being ‘damaged’.

In an unprecedented move, he called the US actress his ‘girlfriend’ and admitted he had been seeing her for ‘a few months’.

The prince went on to accuse the media of intruding into the relationship and raged about ‘racist and sexist’ attacks on her by social media trolls. 

The 400-word statement from Kensington Palace marked a new low in the royal’s clashes with journalists.

Harry previously dated Chelsy Davy for seven years and Cressida Bonas for two years without resorting to such a PR tactic.
