Meghan Markle reveals in an exclusive interview her life before she was a TV actress and before she dated Prince Harry. The "Suits" star once lived a life where she was too cash-strapped she had to drive a beat-up Ford Explorer from one audition to another. The rare interview was a few weeks before her romance with Prince Harry exploded. She even dropped hints that she was dating the royal when she said that she was just from London.

Before she starred in "Suits" Meghan Markle was too poor she can't afford to fix her car window, Mail Online reported. She said that she once had to park at the back of an audition venue to climb from the trunk of her truck to get to the driver's seat. Her truck sounded like a steamboat engine, she described, but it was able to take her to places where she needed to be.

Meghan also mentioned that she is living a fast-paced life and doing different things at once. She previously said that she was not the kind of girl who lunches; she would prefer to be doing charitable works instead. Meghan Markle keeps a website where she mostly updates about her life and works. She once wrote that her life shifts from red carpets to charity work. She explained that these two worlds could coexist.

But the TV star knows how to decompress. Meghan Markle revealed in one interview that despite her busy schedule, she finds time to just relax, watch TV, snuggle with her pets and enjoy a drink. She is a dog lover.

Meanwhile, Meghan and her prince spent Valentine together at home in Harry's residence at Kensington Palace, Vanity Fair reported. Meghan once wrote on her blog "The Tig" that she would be spending V Day at home or maybe with her friends but reports say that she was indeed in London with the royal. Sources say that the lovebirds preferred a low-key celebration.

Sources also claim that Harry's cottage has been Meghan Markle's residence whenever she is in London. All the security personnel know her and she often comes and goes as she pleases. Certainly a life that she would have never dreamt of a few years ago.
