She said in the podcast: "You come into my little house that I was renting, and I remember my closet -- do you remember that closet door was within the bathroom?"

The Kitsch founder joked: "Meghan, we'll call it a bungalow, we'll be chic."

Meghan then said: "It was a bungalow, and you had to walk through my bedroom, past my bed, past the shower and the sink, which were right there and the toilet and then right across from that was the door that opened into my very small closet.

"This is pre-Suits for me. This is really early days when I was auditioning."

She then talked about her struggles regarding her low budget wardrobe: "You called me and said, 'I just found the best pair of black patent leather Louboutin wedge flats. They're $200.'

"I remember going, 'That's as much as I pay - I cannot.' And you go, 'I promise you, you are going to wear [them]."

Meghan then revealed: "Do you know what's so funny? Of course, I wore those shoes until the red wore out. I wore those shoes on my final audition for Suits when I booked the part."

The Duchess of Sussex starred as paralegal Rachel Zane in seven seasons of the hugely successful Netflix show, which ran from 2011 to 2019.

But she left in 2018 after getting married to Prince Harry and moving to Britain.
