Meghan Markle's 'creepy' interview with male TV host resurfaces

Now Meghan Markle is becoming a permanent member of the royal family, people are digging up every old interview with the former Suits star.

One has come to light that shows just how uncomfortable male TV hosts can make their female guests.

During an appearance on The Late Late Show in 2013, Meghan was faced with a series of personal questions from former host Craig Ferguson.

As soon as she arrived on the sofa, she was met with comments about her appearance with Craig remarking: “What a strangely hairless body you have.”

“You’re quite the dolphin, aren’t you? You’re absolutely hair free. Are you a competitive swimmer?” he continued joking.

Meghan attempted to laugh it off, moving on to talk about how she grew up on the set of TV show Married.. with Children thanks to her dad’s job there.

“I grew up on the set every day after school for 10 years,” she commented. “It’s a very perverse place for a little girl who went to Catholic school no less to grow up. I’m there in my school uniform, right…”

The actress was cut off by Craig who says: “Oh, yeah.”

Finally, the host asks Meghan what the show’s stars thought when they saw her “walking around in [her] little schoolgirl outfit.”

Lots of people have now called out the presenter for his comments. “This guy sexualised her at every opportunity, didn’t let her finish her sentences and answer his questions and was not interested in her as an intelligent person whatsoever,” one person commented on YouTube.

“This guy is so creepy and cringeworthy,” said another.

Others praised the actress for handling the situation like she did.

“Love Meghan Markle!" wrote one. "She’s beautiful. Craig is well, creepy.”

“This was so uncomfortable! What a creepy talk show host," added another.

One watcher summed up their feelings pretty succinctly.

“I don’t like this guy. He is so sleazy,” they wrote.

Let’s hope this line of questioning stays in 2013.
