Meghan Markle fully embraced the challenge when she was asked to impersonate a cat and eat like a chipmunk on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The Duchess of Sussex returned to the spotlight this week for a special interview with the US daytime talk show host, to discuss her work campaigns and life with Prince Harry and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
However, in a less serious segment, Meghan happily took part in a classic Ellen prank on the public and, it’s safe to say, she seized the opportunity to show off her acting skills.
According to Ellen, 66, it was actually the Duchess’ request to do ‘one of those IFBs’ – IFBs, also known as interruptible foldback, is a tiny earpiece worn so instructions can be fed to the person discreetly.
Meghan visited a crystal stall in Los Angeles where she performed the most random of challenges.
Taking a kitten-ear headband from her bag and wearing it on her head, Meghan told the vendor: ‘This is what I do for my kids to cheer them up, I sing a little song.’
She then sang: ‘I’m a kitten, meow meow meow,’ in an awkward moment that she deserves a medal for executing.
Upon instruction from Ellen, the Duchess then told a man who was selling hot sauce that ‘mummy wants some heat’, before being made to eat tortilla chips like a chipmunk.
In another scene, Meghan delivers a joke with no punchline before goading the vendor into pretending she understands.
Elsewhere in the interview, Meghan has shared a rare picture of her and Harry’s son Archie.
The Duchess, 40, surprised fans as she offered a glimpse at the little one, who is now two, and his ‘chick inn’. Taken from behind so his face is obscured, the photograph showed Archie standing in the family’s chicken coop that was first seen in Meghan and Harry’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March.
Archie watches the birds as they feed off a tiny picnic table while holding a little yellow basket, presumably to help carry the eggs.
She also opened up about how she, Harry, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank enjoyed one ‘final fun night out’ incognito before the news of their relationship was made public.
‘The four of us snuck out in Halloween costumes to just have one fun night out on the town before it was out in the world that we were a couple,’ she recalled.
