00:00 In Meghan Markle's eyes, leaving her lucrative acting career behind was simply a change,
00:06 rather than giving anything up.
00:08 Meghan Markle had a successful playing career before she was made the Duchess of Sussex.
00:13 From 2011 to 2018, she played Rachel Zane in the popular television series Suits.
00:19 But Meghan later stepped away from her role in the NBC courtroom drama before she made
00:23 the decision to become engaged to Prince Harry, choosing instead to trade her Hollywood lifestyle
00:29 for a position in the royal family.
00:32 After making her final appearance as Rachel in the season 7 final, the actor was later
00:36 written off the show in 2017.
00:39 Then, in November of that same year, Prince Harry and Meghan made the world aware of their
00:44 engagement.
00:45 Fans were left wondering what Meghan's career holds for her shortly after their engagement,
00:49 with many worrying that she would permanently give up performing.
00:53 During a conversation with the BBC close to the time of her engagement, Meghan clarified
00:57 the situation.
00:59 To the soon-to-be royal, Mishal Hussein said, "It's a huge change.
01:03 You're getting a new country out of it.
01:06 Obviously, a husband, but also quitting your job.
01:09 I don't see it as giving up anything," Meghan retorted.
01:12 "I simply consider it a shift.
01:14 Yes, a new chapter has begun.
01:16 Remember that I've been working on my show, Suits, for seven years as well."
01:21 The actress then discussed her extensive history as a character in Suits and why she decided
01:25 it was time to go.
01:27 "We're therefore extremely fortunate to have that kind of durability on a show, and
01:31 as we passed the 100-episode milestone, I realized I had something special.
01:36 I checked this box, and I'm incredibly happy of the job I did there."
01:40 "Now, as you Harry mentioned, it's time for us to work together as a team," Meghan
01:45 continued.
01:46 Before making her involvement public, she expressed excitement about leaving her work
01:50 to devote more time to topics that are really important to her.
01:54 The actress from Horrible Bosses continued, "I think you realize you have access or
01:59 a voice that people are eager to listen to very early out of the gate.
02:03 And with that comes a lot of responsibility, which I take seriously."
02:07 Meghan's tenure with the royal family, however, was brief when she and Prince Harry
02:11 made the decision to leave their positions as senior royals in January 2020.
