Meghan, who wore a cream top with voluminous sleeves and cutouts paired with black pants and matching pumps, also had her trusted glam team with her. Longtime friend and makeup artist Daniel Martin helped get her camera-ready alongside hairstylist Jason Low.
“We were backstage the entire time,” Martin tells PEOPLE. “It’s really fun and Ellen really pulled out Meghan’s goofy, funny side, which everyone will be able to finally see.”
A sneak peek of the episode released Wednesday showed a hint of that, with Meghan reminiscing about going on auditions on the same Warner Bros. lot when she worked as an actress before meetingPrince Harry.

“The security guards would always say, ‘Break a leg! We hope you get it!’ So the drive in today was very different,” Meghan said.
Meghan also shared that she used to drive an old Ford Explorer Sport with “a life of its own,” as she described it, to auditions. Since the key on the drivers' side door wouldn’t work, she had a unique way of getting in.
“I would park in the back of the parking lot and open the trunk, then climb in and pull it shut behind me and crawl over all my seats to get out,” she explained with a laugh. “That’s how I would come to and fro.”

Meghan and the talk show host’s friendship began years ago with achance encounter at a dog shelter, where the former actress was debating whether to adopt her first pet, Bogart.
“Now, I don’t know her, but Ellen goes ‘Is that your dog?’ And I said, ‘No,’ and she’s like, ‘You have to take that dog.’ And I said, ‘Well, I’m deciding.’ And she’s like, ‘Rescue the dog!’ " Meghan recalled inBest Health. “It’s sort of like if Oprah tells you to do something. I’m sitting there holding him and she’s like ‘Have you thought of a name for him yet?’ And I said, ‘Well, I think I’d name him Bogart,’ and she’s like ‘You’re taking the dog home.’ "

Meghan continued, “And she walks outside to get into her car but instead of getting in she turns around and comes and taps on the window glass and she yells ‘Take the dog!’ And so I brought him home. Because Ellen told me to.”
