Meghan Markle says that she was much more of a loner growing up than people would think.

On an episode of her Archetypes podcast Tuesday, the Duchess of Sussex remarked that she was an ugly duckling with massive frizzy, curly hair and a huge gap in her teeth when she was younger.

Were you not the pretty one growing up? actor Mindy Kaling asked the royal, who answered with an emphatic No oh God, no!

I never had anyone to sit with at lunch, Meghan said, adding that she was always a little bit of a loner and really shy and didnt know where I fit in.

The royal said that her lunch situation pushed her to become president of various school clubs, which held meetings at mealtime.

So I didnt have to worry about who I would sit with or what I would do because I was always so busy, Meghan told the Mindy Project star.

That makes me very emotional and Im happy that people know that, Kaling said. I think people see you and theyre like, Oh my gosh like, the wedding [to Prince Harry ], the couture fittings for that, and this and that. And I think that I certainly didnt know that about you, and thats nice to know.

Kaling is the third guest so far on Meghans new Spotify and Archewell Audio show, which has also featured tennis icon Serena Williams and proud diva Mariah Carey.

Meghan and Harry who reside in California are currently on a European tour of sorts, after the two publicly ventured back across the pond together for the first time since celebrating Queen Elizabeth II s Platinum Jubilee in June.

The couple attended the One Young World Summit on Monday, with Meghan delivering the youth leadership events keynote address.

It is very nice to be back in the U.K., she said during her speech .
