During the 2013 interview, Mr. King asked Markle about Rachel Zane. The actress described her character as a paralegal at a fictional television firm. The host added: "Seductive?"
Markle paused a moment before telling Mr. King she does not know. The broadcast legend later joked that it was just a comment. Markle laughed awkwardly before continuing with the interview.
