Meghan Markle Jokes With Billy Eichner That Her Career ‘Took a Little Turn’

Meghan Markle has clearly listened to the universe her entire life. While she started her career as an actress, it’s evident her life decided to go another direction.

While attending the London premiere of The Lion King with husband Prince Harry, she ended up chatting with funnyman Billy Eichner, who voices Timon. And the two had plenty to chat about!

“Meghan and I both went to college together — we were both theatre majors at Northwestern,” Billy said on Today with Hoda and Jenna. “We didn’t know each other when we were there, but we were there at the same time. In the middle of this huge royal premiere you’re looking at, right there we’re having a very casual conversation about our acting teachers at Northwestern.”

Meghan also congratulated Billy on his success. When he returned the compliment, she apparently responded, “Well, things took a little turn.”

“She was lovely, and they were so cool and down to earth,” Billy added. “You would never know that they’re royals.”
