Meghan Markle’s background as an actor may have come in handy when there was a mix-up with her first public speech before marryingPrince Harry.
“I messed up at work!” Wiseman said on the podcast when asked to recall an anecdote and turned to the 2018 Endeavor Fund Awards in London. “It was the first time she’d spoken in public as the [future] Duchess of Sussex. There weren’t many of us at The Royal Foundation, so everyone sort of mucked in for everything.”

“I was writing the scripts, and there was a last-minute request for a change from her team – yeah, no problem, put it in. But she got the old version, and the new version was sent to her co-host, my mate, [British Army veteran] Neil Heritage. And there were there on stage, and they had two different versions of the script,” he explained.

Wiseman, who first met Prince Harry andPrince Williamyears before as students at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, said he later sent Harry apologetic texts about the accident and Meghan hopped on the phone.
“Meghan jumped on the text, ‘David, it’s M, honestly, really really, don’t worry about it.' She was just so kind,” he said onHello! A Right Royal Podcast.
It was anunusual movefor Meghan to present a prize that evening, as she was not yet officially in the royal family given her May wedding to Harry was still a few months away. In contrast,Kate Middletondid not give herfirst speechuntil nearly a year after her royal wedding to Prince William in 2011.
