An Australian reporter made a snarky jab about Meghan Markle’s choice of outfit for her upcoming TV interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Following the surprise announcement that the Duchess of Sussex would be appearing on Thursday’s episode of the talk show, Today show’s U.S. correspondent Amelia Adams couldn’t resist taking a swipe at the former actress.
In a teaser for the chat, the former Suits star is seen reminiscing about her life as a working actress before she married Prince Harry as she recalled some of her struggles when heading to auditions.
Discussing the snippet with Today show co-host Karl Stefanovic, Amelia stated: ‘Not sure we’ll hear any bombshells [about the Royal Family] in tomorrow’s chat with her old friend Ellen.
‘Certainly, at this stage, the clip they’ve released is Meghan reminiscing about her days as a struggling actress.’
She continued: ‘She spent a fair bit of time at the Warner Bros. studio, where the Ellen Show is recorded, and she said she used to show up there in an old Ford Explorer with a broken door.’
Today then aired a clip from Meghan’s interview in which the 40-year-old shared the anecdote while wearing a white bishop-sleeve blouse and black pants.
After the teaser ended, the report then remarked: ‘Yeah, she’s just keeping it real there… in a $4,000[AUD] Oscar De La Renta blouse.
‘Safe to say she has moved up in the world since those days,’ she added.
Karl, who is an outspoken critic of Prince Harry and Meghan, chuckled at the subtle shade about the Duchess ‘keeping it real’.
He replied: ‘Well done, Amelia, well done. A little sting in the tail there, I like that.’
Teasing the full interview on Wednesday, Ellen tweeted: ‘A lot has changed since the last time Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, was on the Warner Brothers lot. Don’t miss the rest of our interview tomorrow.’

Meghan’s appearance on the Ellen show will be her first major TV interview since her headline-making Oprah tell-all alongside Prince Harry in March.
During the two-hour special, the mother-of-two revealed why she and Harry, 37, decided to quit as senior working members of the Royal family last year.
Notably, she accused an unnamed member of the Royal family of racism as she said they raised ‘concerns’ about ‘how dark’ her children’s skin would be when she was pregnant with Archie.
Meanwhile, Harry said he ‘felt really let down’ by his dad Charles, who was ‘trapped’ in the monarchy alongside his brother William.
It’s not known if Harry will make a cameo during Meghan’s Ellen interview.
