Meghan Markle has nothing but praise for Jennifer Aniston, who also happens to be her husband Prince Harry’s celebrity crush.

The Duke of Sussex was reportedly obsessed with “Friends” alum Aniston before he met and fell in love with his now wife, Markle. Prince Harry reportedly found Aniston “princess material” after seeing her naked cover on GQ magazine in 2009, Express reported.

In an unearthed interview, the Duchess of Sussex revealed her thoughts about the “Murder Mystery” star. Aniston and Markle worked together in the 2011 movie “Horrible Bosses.” The two also got to meet each other at parties.

“She is lovely. So real, so refreshing,” Markle said when asked what Aniston is really like during a 2013 interview with Xposé.

The following year, Markle told Chicago Sun-Times Sunday magazine that she loves Aniston’s movies. “I grew up loving all those Jennifer Aniston movies like ‘Picture Perfect,’” Markle said. “That’s the trajectory I would love to be on.”

Markle also said that she loved how Aniston worked on “Friends” and did movies during her hiatuses. She admitted that it’s how she wanted her career to be. “I’d love to be on a show and then be able to do this amazing project,” the duchess said.

Unfortunately, Markle’s plan changed when she met Prince Harry. Markle catapulted to fame when she landed a role in USA Network’s paralegal drama “Suits,” However, prior to marrying Prince Harry, Markle made a lot of changes to her life. She decided to quit acting and shut down her blog. She also deleted her personal accounts on Instagram and Twitter.

In related news, Markle reportedly snubbed the palace and sought the advice of her celebrity friends Rihanna, George Clooney and Amal Clooney about her struggles in adjusting to the royal life. The former actress felt that her transition from being a Hollywood actress to a British royal did her no favors.

Just recently, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to leave their shared charity Royal Foundation to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Prince Harry and Markle will be creating a new one.

According to Duncan Larcombe, the couple’s move is a definite sign of division. A year ago, the couple seemed fine to be under Prince William and Middleton’s wings. However, they apparently have a change of mind and want to do things on their own.
