Meghan attended the $22,700-a-year (£17,900) Little Red School House, where stars like Johnny Depp and Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers sent their children. She was in a number of school plays while she was there and played the main part in an adaption of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. In the chorus of the play was a little girl with “an unkempt mane of hair” and a “clumsy manner” who would go on to be one of the world’s top paid actresses.

Scarlett Johansson was at school with Meghan, according to the 2018 book ‘Meghan: A Hollywood Princess’.

Ms Johansson would have been several years below Meghan in school however, being born over three years after the Duchess.

The Avengers star now has a net worth of $140million (£110million).

The now-34-year-old is best known for her role as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Royal biographer Andrew Morton explained how Meghan was co-starring in The Grinch Who Stole Christmas with her friend Elizabeth McCoy.

However, Ms McCoy came down with stomach flu hours before the show and Meghan had to quickly learn all her lines.

Mr Morton said: “Ironically, no one gave a thought to asking a little girl with an unkempt mane of blonde hair, thick glasses and an awkward, clumsy manner who was lurking in the chorus to take the part.

“Her name was Scarlett Johannsson, now one one the world’s highest paid actresses.”

This is not Ms Johannson’s only connection with the Royal Family, though.

The blonde beauty reportedly rubbed shoulders with Prince Harry according to the 2018 book ‘Harry: Life, Loss, and Love.”

Royal expert Katie Nicholl claimed the pair met in the West End nightclub Mahiki and “really got on”.

She also met Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, at the royal premier for her 2008 film ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’ in which she played Anne Boleyn’s sister Mary.

Ms Johansson has also been outspoken against the paparazzi, condemning the lengths they go to take photographs, referencing the death of Princess Diana in Paris in 1997.

She said: “The paparazzi consistently go to increasingly dangerous lengths to stalk and harass the people they are photographing.

“Even after Princess Diana’s tragic death, the laws were never changed to protect targets from the lawless paparazzi.

“Until paparazzi are considered by the law for the criminal stalkers they are, it’s just a waiting game before another person gets seriously injured or killed, like Princess Diana.”
