Meghan Markle could have been asking “How you doing?” on The Wendy Williams Show.

Now that Markle is officially royalty, news seems to surface about her daily, from her Wimbledon photo ban to her pre-Prince Harry reported DM sliding.

But now, talk show host Wendy Williams has claimed Markle apparently once wanted a job on 'The Wendy Williams Show', which could have been even more entertaining than her short-lived stint as a briefcase girl on 'Deal or No Deal.'

On Wednesday's episode, the talk show host, who's had to deal with her own slew of controversies this year, said that Markle once tried to get hired as a model on the show.

“She came here to be on one of our models... This was before she met the man — the redhead — Harry, but Meghan knows ‘Wendy Show,’” Williams said, confirming, “Meghan wanted to work here.”

Williams has discussed the Duchess of Sussex multiple times on her show, whether talking about her wedding, her family, or her modeling aspirations.

“I respect Meghan Markle’s hustle and I respect her game. However, she’s a bit of a wild card, you know, because she goes from being the Deal or No Deal girl [a game show that involved a series of women holding briefcases]. So this is a girl looking for game,” Williams previously said on her show. “She came here to Wendy to find out what she could do here. She’s been here, she’s been in our building, we have her DNA.”

Unfortunately, she didn’t get the gig - but it would seem she's definitely doing just fine.
