Meghan Markle considered herself as a ‘female founder’ in her new podcast.
But long before her lucrative Netflix deal and As Ever brand, she depended on a physical CV to land jobs.
The Duchess has worn a number of hats over the years, starting as an actress before transitioning to a wife, mother and businesswoman.
She said: ‘If I had to write a résumé, I don’t know what I would call myself.
‘I think it speaks to this chapter many of us find ourselves in, where none of us are one note. But I believe all the notes I am playing are part of the same song.’
The Duchess revealed at a future plan into the fashion industry, but said for now she is planning to launch a new range of merchandise in early 2026.
‘The category of fashion is something I will discover at a later date, because I do think that’s an interesting space for me,’ she said.
Sara Blakely, the founder of the shapewear giant Spanx, attended to the Duchess of Sussex to share the need ‘get real about bet on yourself’.
Meghan’s CV was uploaded alongside a black and white headshot from her early acting days
Meghan’s CV from before her marriage to Harry was published online, which included her eye colour, height and weight, as well as a black and white headshot.
It is unknown when the CV was first used, as it has no date on it, but it appears to be before her stint as a suitcase model on Deal or No Deal, which she first appeared on in 2006.
The last role listed was her first professional film role where she worked in the part of ‘Natalie Hot Chick’ in Ashton Kutcher’s 2005 romantic comedy A Lot Like Love.
At the time the document was announced, Meghan only had a few roles on TV, including a two-episode appearance on General Hospital in 2001, where she played a nurse named Jill, and a role in CBS’s sci-fi legal drama, Century City, in 2004 where she played a party guest named Natasha.
There was also a section on the CV that listed theatre roles, which included playing roles in Annie, Into The Woods and Stepping Out, the 1984 play that was written by British writer Richard Harris in 1984.
Meghan would have been around the age of 24 when she wrote this CV.
It also included the intensive training she had undergone, including a number of professionals in various disciplines from ‘TV/Film’ to ‘Musical Comedy’ and ‘Voice for Performance’.
Other skills include her proficiency in speaking fluently in French and Spanish, her dancing and kickboxing skills.
