Meghan Markle, 40, appeared alongside American journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin, 44, and Starbucks chair Mellody Hobson, 52, at the New York Times’ DealBook Online Summit on Tuesday. During the Duchess of Sussex’s 31-minute appearance on the event’s YouTube stream, the trio discussed how to ensure women can “reach economic and professional parity”.

However, Ms Markle also revealed the first business venture she embarked on.

“I remember when I was really young — I must have been eight or nine — I started making scrunchies to sell,” the Duchess said.

“I had my mum take me downtown to get scraps of fabric from the fabric stores, and sell them for like five for five bucks, who knows?”

She added: “I remember the feeling of knowing that I had done something, I had invested in myself and done this labour and been compensated for it.

“There’s a sense of pride that comes from that.”

But before Ms Markle landed the role of Rachel in the hit US legal drama ‘Suits’, the Duchess said she earned money as a waitress, working at Beverly Hills’ Paper Source store and even as a freelance calligrapher.

Despite her rise through Hollywood and Windsor, the Duchess went on to claim her early lessons in financial literacy means she loves a bargain today.

Meghan said: “Do they have coupons anymore?

“I don’t know – but I will never buy anything online without finding an online promo code first.

“That’s still in there.

“It’s a modern version of the same thing.”

During her conversation with Mr Sorkin and Ms Hobson, Prince Harry’s wife wore a red poppy.

The poppy, which has become a symbol of the First World War after they grew on the battlefields of Flanders, has been used to commemorate military members who died in conflict since 1921.

The UK will commemorate Remembrance Day tomorrow.

In the US, Armistice Day is known as Veterans Day and it coincides with the UK’s service.
