In new Netflix series With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex reveals a plethora of talents we didn't know she had. For instance, in episode 6, the royal makes ceviche and personalized cocktails for a group of friends with whom she plays mahjong. However, serving drinks wasn't always a talent Meghan Markle possessed.
During episode 7 of With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex recounts the story of when she briefly worked as a cocktail waitress in Chicago. "I had a job when I was in college, working in a bar in Chicago," she explained. "Like, doing two majors, and then like, 'I'll go to Chicago and I'll just go and make extra money and I'll be the coat check girl.'" However, Meghan's employers had different plans, telling the former Suits star, 'Oh no, you can be a cocktail waitress.'"
Unfortunately, Meghan's role as a cocktail waitress was quickly cut short when she misheard someone's drink order. "And the guy was really loud and he's like, 'Hey, can I get a [indistinct] martini?'" Meghan shared. "I don't know what he's saying. I was like, 'I think he's from Texas and he asked me for a Cowboy Run martini.' And they were like, 'We don't have that.'"
When Duchess Meghan told the customer they couldn't make his drink, he apparently responded, "What? You don't have a Ketel One martini?" Sadly, the mix-up cost Meghan her job as a cocktail waitress. "They're like, 'Let's have you go back to being a coat check girl,'" she explained.
While Meghan is now a member of the Royal Family, it's nice to know that even she had to work extra jobs while she was in college. And just like the rest of us, Meghan wasn't necessarily skilled at the temporary roles she took on in her early 20s. However, as With Love, Meghan shows, it's never to late to learn how to mix a really good cocktail.
