Meghan Markle is opening up about her humble beginnings. The Duchess of Sussex got candid about her childhood during her and Prince Harry's tour of Australia. 

While on a visit to the Macarthur Girls High School in Sydney, Meghan shared that her very first job consisted of "taking out the trash". The Duchess of Sussex added that the job helped make the person she is today as she praised the school students saying that they reminded her of herself. 

According to 'New Idea', she said, "You guys all remind me so much of myself when I was growing up. I went to an all-girls school which was incredibly diverse as well. I think being around such empowered young women, it becomes something that you all just grasp onto to understand your world,” she added.“It makes me so emotional. You’re doing really, really good work and I’m so happy that we’re here. We give you our full support". 

Prince Harry also showed his admiration for the students, many of whom were part of the 'In League in Harmony Youth Advocate' program. The program looks to unite and inspire young people to be advocates for cohesion and inclusion in their communities. Prince Harry said, "Men can help as well by getting involved, we have to". 

Meghan Markle attended the Immaculate Heart High School which is an all-girl catholic private school located in Los Angeles. She then went to college at the Northwestern University. 

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently announced that they were expecting their first child together. The baby will be due in Spring 2019. Meghan and Harry are presently on their tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Tonga.
