Modern Family star Ed O’Neill reveals Meghan Markle ‘grew up’ on the set of his 80s sitcom

The actor used to star in Married With Children

Ed O’Neill has revealed that Meghan Markle “grew up” on the set of his 80s sitcom, Married With Children.

When she was just a child, the Duchess of Sussex’s father Thomas Markle worked on the show as the director of photography.

Speaking on The Ellen Show, the Modern Family star said, “By the way, she [Meghan] grew up on the set of Married With Children. Did you know that? Her father was a camera operator.”

“She used to come on the set in a little Catholic school uniform. She was like 9,” Ed recalled.

The actor made the revelation during a game called ‘Who’s This?’, in which he was asked to identify a host of famous faces.

During an interview with Esquire in February 2018, Meghan opened up about growing up on the set of TV shows.

She said, “My dad was a lighting director and director of photography for Married With Children. He just retired actually last year.”

“Every day after school for 10 years, I was on the set of Married With Children, which is a really funny and perverse place for a little girl in a Catholic school uniform to grow up.”
