3. She avoided Donald Trump

Meghan landed a role as a briefcase girl on US Deal or No Deal in 2006 and when celebrity guest, Donald Trump turned up on the show, she didn’t go near him writes Andrew.

‘He gave girls his card and invited them to play golf at one of his courses,’ he reveals.

Fellow briefcase girl Tameka Jacobs told Andrew. ‘He was super-creepy, but some girls were attracted to money and power and took his number,’ she said.

What’s more, Andrew claims that, even five years later, Trevor, ‘can barely contain his anger’ towards his ex.

Meghan was reportedly so nervous before meeting The Queen for the first time that she rehearsed the etiquette of tea-drinking before the big day.

A few months before the big day she took a secret trip to Rose Tree Cottage in Pasadena, California for afternoon tea, claims Andrew.

It is there that she learnt all the protocols for having tea, including crooking her finger as she held the cup and saucer he writes.
