After watching a preview of the chat on YouTube, many viewers took to social media and said they were convinced she was making subtle remarks about the Duchess of Sussex’s early acting career.

It all started when Markle recalled auditioning for roles at the Warner Bros. Studios, and how she was often wished luck by the security guards.

“I would park at Gate Three and scoot on over,” she said. “What was so nice is the security guards here would always say, ‘Break a leg! We hope you get it’.”

Commenting on how her life has dramatically changed since marrying Prince Harry, she added: “So to drive in today was very different.”

At this point, DeGeneres remarked: “You auditioned that often that they knew you to say ‘Break a leg?’”
