Look away Harry! How Meghan flirted up a storm with Ashton Kutcher in her very first film role (where she played a 'hot girl' on a plane)

  • Harry's girl played a flirtatious plane passenger in A Lot Like Love in 2005
  • Had only appeared on television twice before landing the role
  • Character introduced herself as Natalie but was relegated to 'hot girl' in credits
  • Ended up being chatted up by actor's business partner in two-minute scene  

She's the star of a hit US TV drama and her romance with Prince Harry has naturally propelled her further into the spotlight. 

But while she's now a huge star, Meghan Markle's very first film role was rather more underwhelming - and earned her only the title of 'hot girl' on the end credits. 

The unknown actress who had been seen on TV just twice before the role - appeared alongside the Hollywood heartthrob in the 2005 film called A Lot Like Love.

On-screen for less than two minutes, she attempted to flirt with Kutcher's internet entrepreneur character Oliver Martin on a flight.

But she was left stunned when Oliver showed no interest because of his  complicated on-off relationship with photographer Emily Friehl, Alias actress Amanda Peet.

And she ended up being chatted up by business partner Jetter played by actor Kal Penn - instead.

Although she introduced herself as Natalie, she only appears in the credits as Hot Girl.

Last weekend Harry demonstrated how serious he is about Meghan, by taking her along to the wedding of his close friend Tom ‘Skippy’ Inskip in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

The pastor who presided over the ceremony said the couple looked ‘so very much in love’. ‘

They sat next to each other and held hands as they walked out,’ he added.

‘I will never forget their radiant smiles and they looked so happy together.’ 

His final, prescient words to Harry were: ‘It’s your turn next, Sir.’

If Harry does propose soon, it's rumoured that chancellor Philip Hammond would prefer the wedding to be on a Saturday to avoid disrupting productivity.
