Discover Very Rare Pictures of Meghan Markle
Living Her Best Life
The former Suits actress has always promoted a healthy lifestyle and the importance of taking time for oneself. On this subject, she says, “I give myself the luxury of downtime.”
And she added, “We are all so incredibly busy and juggling so many things but I always take an hour to just decompress, watch mindless TV, snuggle with my dogs and enjoy a glass of wine. […] That’s all part of the investment. It’s a balance.”
Yoga Girl
This image was taken in 2015. The picture was snapped during a photoshoot with Best Health Magazine. In an interview, she confided that she doesn’t practice yoga every day, but a few times a week—at least twice—alternating yoga and hot yoga.
When she practices yoga, it’s usually in the morning, because it’s important to start the day off right! She has been quoted as saying that a perfect day for her would include yoga and a sashimi lunch!
Sophisticated
This distinguished picture of Meghan was taken in 2016 by photographer George Pimentel. The shoot took place in the Canadian Arts and Fashion portrait studio in Toronto, Canada.
It was just a few months before the beautiful woman met her prince. She already had the sophisticated look of a duchess! Although the neckline probably wouldn’t have pleased the royal family…
Sunbathing
This photo of of the now Duchess of Sussex, taken in 2018, was shared by an unknown person a few days before Meghan’s marriage to Prince Harry. What a surprise that leaked photo was!
You will have guessed, it caused a scandal within the British monarchy. It’s obviously not a good idea to show so much skin when you’re about to join the Queen of England’s family.
Lady In Black
This cute picture of Meghan was taken in 2013. It was snapped during a shooting with photographer Matt Barnes as part of a collaboration with the Canadian magazine Sharp.
Meghan looks glamorous in this just-sexy-enough black dress, which reveals her toned abs just a little, while reclining on a minimalist black lounge chair. She looks very peaceful!
Just your casual girl
By becoming a member of the British Royal Family, the now former actress had to leave behind several things she’s not allowed to do anymore. One can imagine that she had to give them up reluctantly.
Taking selfies lying on a bed and having her own personal Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts is now impossible for her. We wonder how she’s taking it! Does she find it difficult?
Bare Back
This picture of Meghan was taken in 2016. It was part of a collaboration between the actress and the Canadian retailer Reitmans for their Summer Collection. We love this dress!
It’s simple and beautiful, and the bare back adds a little extra sensuality and lightness that makes all the difference! We can imagine going for a walk on the beach dressed like this.
A Good Meal
As we see the Duchess of Sussex devouring what seems to be a delicious plate of pasta and salmon, we can well imagine that she must be nostalgic when she now look at this picture.
Why, you ask? Because these two foods are unfortunately not allowed at royal dinners. From our point of view, this is very sad! It’s hard to understand why a Duchess couldn’t eat what she likes!
Red Outfit
This picture of the now Duchess of Sussex was taken in 2016. It was part of a collaboration between the actress and the Canadian retailer Reitmans for their Spring/Summer Collection.
This simple, yet distinguished look combining shorts and a camisole with high heels seems perfect for many occasions. It looks very comfortable yet beautiful! And we have to admit, red suits her perfectly!
Raspberries Love
This image was captured in a short video that Meghan Markle herself had shared on her Instagram account a few years ago, at a time when she was still allowed to own one and feed it.
On this video, the now Duchess can be seen eating pretty quickly every raspberry you see on her fingers while laughing. Meghan clearly got a good sense of humour and likes to have fun!
The Dream
This picture of the beautiful Meghan Markle was taken in 2016 while she was on vacation in the incredible city of Positano, Italy. She made the trip with her long-time best friend, Jessica Mulroney.
The former actress seems to really enjoy the view from her terrace as she gets ready to enjoy a nice bottle of wine! Also, we really like her blue, casual dress. She looks perfect, as always!
Here’s To More Trips In The Future
This picture of the beautiful Meghan Markle was taken in 2016 while she was on vacation in the incredible city of Positano, Italy. She made the trip with her long-time best friend, Jessica Mulroney.
The now Duchess of Sussex seems to enjoy walking in this beautiful Italian village. She looks absolutely radiant and has a beautiful smile on her face! Again, we love her outfit, and her hat!
Classy
In this picture, Meghan is wearing a pretty and classy black dress. Did you know that prior to her role as Rachel in Suits, Meghan has appeared in General Hospital, Century City (2004), The War at Home (2006), CSI: NY (2006), and Fringe?
During her acting career, she has also been seen in some movies such as Get Him to the Greek (2010), Remember Me (2010), The Candidate (2010), and Horrible Bosses (2011).
Selfie girl
Now, as an official representative of the British monarchy, Meghan can no longer be seen with such a casual hairstyle. In fact, it is a selfie that certainly reveals too much for his new life!
One wonders if it is really pleasant to be part of the monarchy. Everyone likes a more casual look every now and then, and being able to go out without necessarily having their hair done!
With Her On-Screen Partner
Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams played together in the TV series Suits for 6 years. After the announcement of Meghan’s engagement with Prince Harry, her on-screen sidekick shared 2 nice Tweet:
“She said she was just going out to get some milk…”
“Playing Meghan’s television partner for the better part of a decade uniquely qualifies me to say this: Your Royal Highness, you are a lucky man and I know your long life together will be joyful, productive and hilarious. Meghan, so happy for you, friend. Much love.”
Lady In Red
Meghan was one of the 26 briefcase girls for the 2 seasons of Deal or No Deal, in 2006 and 2007. In her words, her experience would not have been an all pleasant one.
She said, “I would put that in the category of things I was doing while I was auditioning to try to make ends meet. I went from working in the U.S. Embassy in Argentina to ending up on Deal. It’s run the gamut. Definitely working on Deal or No Deal was a learning experience, and it helped me to understand what I would rather be doing.”
A Princess Has Never Been So Stylish
This image was taken in 2015. It was part of a collaboration with the Canadian retailer Reitmans for their Fall/Winter Collection. Meghan was then the brand ambassador for their new campaign “Reitmans. Really.”
About that partnership, they stated, “Women across the country have come to look to her for style inspiration. […] Meghan is the embodiment of fashion confidence. She has style and is down-to-earth. She is charming and really smart. Meghan has just the right mix of positive energy and fashion know-how.”
Posing Against A Wall
Did you know that a Duchess is not allowed to wear dark nail polish like Meghan has in this picture? In fact, if she wants to wear nail polish, she is only allowed baby pink or nude colors.
Seriously, how boring does it sound to be Duchess of Sussex! One wonders if there is any part of her life that is not now governed by the monarchy… We kind of pity her, in a way!
Navy Outfit
This picture of Meghan was taken in 2016. It was part of a collaboration between the actress and the Canadian retailer Reitmans for their Spring/Summer Collection. We love that navy outfit!
About this Reitmans collection, Meghan said, “[It] is totally an extension of my personal style,” qualifying it as a “Aspirational Girl Next Door” collection. As usual, it’s simple yet gorgeous!
Black Suit
It will probably seem obvious to you, but Meghan can no longer wear jackets with nothing underneath as you can see on this picture. That would be very inappropriate for a Duchess!
In fact, as a member of the British Royal Family, she can no longer wear shorts, black clothes (unless she’s attending a funeral, or on Remembrance Day), tights, fake fur, cleavage-revealing outfits, and huge handbags.
Being Shy
The former actress has already explained in an interview with CNN that the beginning of her career was complex because of ethnic ambiguity. She said, “I wasn’t black enough for the black roles and I wasn’t white enough for the white ones.”
Indeed, both her parents are Americans, but her mother has African roots. To make ends meet during this more difficult period, she worked as a freelance calligrapher and taught bookbinding.
That look…
Meghan has been well-liked by many for a long time, and it is easy to understand why. She seems so friendly and sociable! It’s too bad she no longer qualifies for her own Instagram account.
This simple, but quite cute selfie taken in 2016 had, at the time, collected no less than 39.8K likes and 470 comments. That’s a lot! She is indeed smiling, radiant and beautiful in this photo!
The mirror selfie
This type of selfie is now forbidden to Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex: in a bed with a lot of skin, a most suggestive picture! We must admit that we have seen much worse… Ha, monarchy!
Her second marriage is definitely nothing like the first! This seems to be much more restrictive than a simple marriage contract that states that we must love and cherish the other for the rest of our lives!
Deal or No Deal
Meghan only did two seasons as a briefcase model, and according to her companions on set, that was to be expected. Kasie Head, who was also a briefcase model at the time, said,”She was friendly but kept to herself. She was lovely. She was very, very smart and very much wanted to be an actress.”
Now that Meghan is famous, the briefcase she carried on the Deal or No Deal set, briefcase No. 24, has gone up for auction in December 2019 and was expected to fetch between $4,000 and $6,000.
Bring the sparkles!
The now Duchess of Sussex is no longer allowed to party as she has done several times in the past. She must now always look good and at her best on any occasion. No more unrestricted fun!
She can’t either wear a dress as extravagant as the one in this photo! Of course, this dress is too short and too sparkly for a Duchess! Her clothes should rather be sober and distinguished.
Photobooth
This rare photo of Meghan and one of her friend was taken in 2010. In this old picture, you can see them in a photobooth located inside the Soho House Club in Los Angeles with her friend.
While everyone generally always takes the same type of funny photos in a photobooth, Meghan and her friend managed to think outside the box and be more original than most. Great job!
Wedding Night
As we know, Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry is actually her second marriage. Meghan and her ex-husband, American film producer Trevor Engelson, were married from 2011 to 2013.
Trevor Engelson has also remarried since their divorce. He indeed married dietitian Tracey Kurland in May 2019 and the couple welcomed a little girl in August 2020, Ford Grace Engelson.
In a Monochrome Dress
At the time this picture was taken, in 2007, the actress was still allowed to enjoy her actress life and sign autographs to her fans. In other words, to have a normal celebrity life, let’s be honest…
The dress she is wearing on this picture, with a white body and a black skirt, is absolutely gorgeous! It gives Meghan a chic, original and simple look. We absolutely love that dress!
In Colorado
We hope that young Meghan Markle has enjoyed the girls’ trips she made in the past because she is evidently no longer allowed to do them. Apparently, it would be inappropriate for a Duchess… How sad it is!
And did you know that the former Suits actress can no longer be an American citizen? No, that’s not even a joke! Following her wedding with Prince Harry, she had to become a British citizen!
With a Bunch of Friends
As a member of the British royal family, Meghan can no longer take selfies with her fans. Taking pictures with her friends is probably also prohibited, because, you know… Duchess duty!
The happy group of friends seems to enjoy and make the most of this celebrating evening, as we can see in this picture. It must have been a really great time that they all remember to this day!
Ordering Food
Of course, going out alone for whatever reason, without security, is now forbidden to the Duchess of Sussex. It would be far too dangerous, after all. That, we understand completely.
What’s more, we strongly doubt that a security guard would have taken such a picture of his protégé at the wheel of a car in a fast food drive-thru! So there is very little chance that we will see such a photo of Meghan again.
With Her Ex
Who doesn’t like to show a minimum of love and affection, even in public, to the person you love? But for Meghan, that kind of public behavior is over. This would be highly inappropriate.
Holding Prince Harry’s hand in public made the Queen grind her teeth, so we’ll never see a picture of Meghan hugging her husband the way she hugs her ex-boyfriend in this picture!
Walking Her Dog
This picture of Meghan Markle with a pretty cute dog was taken in the winter of 2016. At the time, Meghan was walking her dog, who she named Guy, through the streets of Toronto, Canada.
The former actress portrayed the character Rachel Zane on the popular TV series Suits from 2011 to 2018. During those years, she lived in Toronto, Canada, for 9 months a year for filming.
Petting Her Dog
Meghan has always loved dogs and Guy the Beagle was adopted by the actress at the right time. Guy, then three years old, was about to be euthanized in a high-kill Kentucky shelter because no one wanted to adopt him.
However, in 2015, Meghan went to an adoption event at a pet store in Ontario, Canada, and offered this little guy a warm, loving home. Thanks to her, this is a very happy ending to an otherwise sad story.
Photoshoot
This picture of Meghan Markle is a behind the scene of a photoshoot she did in 2016. The actress was then collaborating with the Canadian retailer Reitmans for their Winter Collection.
About this look, Reitmans indicated on its site, “Undeniably trendy with an autumnal twist, this long sleeve, turtleneck Bodysuit takes any outfit to the next level. Versatile, it can be worn alone or layered with a blazer. Wear this top with the faux leather skirt from the same collection for a polished look.”
As Rachel, in Suits
As a member of the Royal family, she can no longer exercise her profession as an actress. She retired from acting in 2017 when she got engaged to Prince Harry, after seven season playing Rachel in Suits.
It’s enough to make you wonder how much it’s worth to leave your dream job, your entire career, for which you worked so hard, for a wedding? But after all, love is stronger than anything!
Actress Life
Fun Fact: The woman we know as Meghan Markle was born Rachel Meghan Markle, but she quickly gave up the Rachel part. But ironically, it still had to bear this name for 6 years in the TV series Suits!
In her new life, the former actress will have to call upon her actress talents a bit because she will also have to put her Californian accent aside to adopt the one of her new country of adoption!
Cozy
Another strange rule imposed by the British royal family: the now Duchess of Sussex is not allowed to go to bed before the Queen. Also, everyone knows that tea time is sacred to English royalty.
Did you know, however, that Meghan had to be coached to hold her cup of tea properly before her first afternoon tea with the Queen? They take it very seriously. The Queen rules them all!
Jell-O shot, anyone?
Another thing Meghan can no longer do: share travel photos on her lifestyle blog, The Tig. She founded it in 2014, but closed it in April 2017. She even took all articles offline in January 2018!
We find it sad that she had to completely erase all those years of work and memories. And you can guess that she probably can no longer take pictures of herself where she has fun, like on this one.
Dog person
It’s pretty obvious that Meghan loves dogs. Indeed, she has more than one. Her cute Beagle is named Guy, while the Labrador-Shepherd is named Bogart. A reference to Humphrey Bogart, perhaps?
When she left her Toronto apartment to go live with Prince Harry, Meghan brought Guy with her, but Bogart was too old to make the trip, so she left him behind at a trusted friend’s house.
Talking With The Canadian Prime Minister
As a Duchess, Meghan Markle cannot vote anymore, whether it’s in the United States or in the United Kingdom. In fact, she can no longer share her political views at all.
One could understand the impediment in the UK; it could cause problems within the monarchy if political views differed, but in the US? In any case, Meghan still voted in the 2020 U.S. elections, making her the first member of the British royal family to do so!
White Top
This photo of Meghan Markle as a young adult was taken in 2014. This photoshoot happened at the very beginning of her career, just after she made an appearance in the soap opera General Hospital.
Starting an acting career can obviously be very difficult, there’s no doubt there. But doing photoshoots never hurts to increase your visibility! In Meghan’s case, in the end, it worked!
In Good Company
As the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan can no longer sit cross-legged either, as most women tend to do. Instead, she must keep her legs glued in front of her or, at most, cross her ankles.
Rare are also the chances of seeing her again in the middle of a discussion with a Prime Minister! She can be seen here speaking with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau.
Yet another dog
With all the existing photos of Meghan with dogs, we know she loves them! Now that the Duchess is a mother and has had to leave her beloved Bogart behind, she has adopted another canine friend to keep Guy the Beagle company.
She and Prince Harry finally adopted a beautiful black Labrador retriever in August 2018 that they named Pula. Their son, little Archie, will have the chance to grow up with a nice companion.
Rocking Star
This picture of Meghan was taken in 2016. It was part of a collaboration between the actress and the Canadian retailer Reitmans for their Winter Collection. Here is how Reitmans defined this look on their website:
“Colour: Grisaille. With an oversized fit that’s cut just right, this Shirt is your new go-to, easy-yet-polished wardrobe favourite. Featuring a button front, it’s styled with a high-low hem and trendy dolman sleeves. Pair this top with the faux leather leggings from the same collection for a modern look.”
Burgundy Dress
This picture of Meghan in a beautiful summer dress was taken in 2016. It was part of a collaboration between the actress and the Canadian retailer Reitmans for their Summer Collection.
About this collection, Meghan said to Best Health magazine, “I’m really excited. It’s the first time I’ve ever designed and we’re launching with a dress collection of four signature, staple dresses. I’ve been involved in every facet of [the design process], so it’s really personal.”
Boudoir Shoot
This photo of Meghan was taken in 2013. It was snapped during a shooting with photographer Matt Barnes as part of a collaboration with the Canadian magazine Sharp.
In this photo, Meghan offers one of the deepest look we ever seen, and we have to admit, she is quite sexy! She looks pretty confident and determined in that picture. She is determined to achieve her goals!
By The Beach
This nice picture was taken in 2016 while Meghan was enjoying a trip to Tulum, Mexico. At the time, while she still could, she had shared several photos of this wonderful trip on her Instagram account.
In this photo, we can see Meghan posing on the balcony of her room at the Coqui Coqui Hotel, wearing a bikini, a light blouse and a hat. In caption, she had indicated, “Doesn’t it look heavenly?”
Enjoying The Pool
This picture of Meghan was taken in 2016 in Tulum, Mexico. After a full day enjoying the beach, the beauty wanted to relax in this private, beautiful little infinity pool found in her hotel room!
When she is in Tulum, the former actress apparently often takes the opportunity to indulge a little and enjoy a Mayan clay treatment. After all, you have to take care of yourself once in a while!
Chic Lady
The Duchess of Sussex can no longer wear a dress or skirt without nude tights. It makes you wonder how necessary it is to wear tights all the time, especially nude ones, but anyway.
What’s more, she definitively can’t wear a skirt so short anymore! The now member of the British Royal Family can no longer show her beautiful legs like this. Too much skin!
With Her Ex Husband
This photo was taken a couple of years ago, in 2011, on the red carpet of the Anti-Defamation League Entertainment Industry Awards Dinner at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.
On this picture, we can see Meghan posing with her ex-husband, Trevor Engelson, to whom she was married for only 2 years, from 2011 to 2013. We have to admit, they formed a cute couple!
Suits Family
This photo was taken in 2012 during the InStyle and Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Toronto International Film Festival Party at Windsor Arms Hotel in 2012 in Toronto, Canada.
The picture shows Meghan with her former Suits co-stars Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres. They all look really happy in this picture! We wonder how much Meghan misses them…
BFF
This photo was taken in 2016 at the Instagram Dinner held at the MARS Discovery District in 2016 in Toronto, Canada. In it, Meghan poses with her best friend Jessica Mulroney.
In 2021, rumors circulated that Jessica had ignored Meghan on her 40th birthday on August 4, speculating that their friendship was over. However, a mutual friend of both women reportedly told the Daily Mail that “Meghan is in regular touch with Jessica.” All gossip, then!
Small Role
Everyone has to start somewhere! This picture is from 2004, at the beginning of the actress’ career. She had just gotten a small role in the TV series Century City at that moment.
Meghan’s role in Century City, which was only for one episode, was the 3rd that the young actress landed. She had participated in an episode of Married… with Children in 1995, then in an episode of General Hospital in 2002.
High School Boyfriend
This photo has been taken in 1997, when Meghan was only a 16-year-old teenager. She can be seen with her first lover, Luis Segura, while they were at a high school Christmas dance.
It’s fascinating to see how little Meghan has changed over time. At 16 or 40, she looks pretty much the same! How is this even possible? We definitely want her secrets!
Sunbathing With Friend
Taken in 2002, this photo shows Meghan sunbathing with her longtime friend Ninaki Priddy. The friends were in Las Vegas at the time. The two young women have known each other since they were 2 years old, but unfortunately, their paths have parted, and apparently, this would be following Meghan’s divorce from her first husband, Trevor Engelson.
On this subject, Ninaki said, “What came to light after Trevor and I spoke ended my friendship with Meghan. […] All I can say now is that I think Meghan was calculated, very calculated, in the way she handled people and relationships. She is very strategic in the way she cultivates circles of friends. Once she decides you’re not part of her life, she can be very cold. It’s this shutdown mechanism she has.”
Sunny Break
This photo was taken in 2016, just one month after Meghan met her new husband, the famous Prince Harry. She was on vacation with her friend Jessica Mulroney at the time.
It was actually Jessica who shared this picture of Meghan on her Instagram account while the two long-time friends were enjoying the Italian sun. She seems good in that photo!
Pool Time
This picture of Meghan was taken in Tulum, Mexico. After a day at the beach, the now Duchess of Sussex wanted to relax in this beautiful little infinity pool found in her hotel room.
Seriously, what could be better than a sunny afternoon in the pool with a glass of white wine? We would give anything to be there! How nice it would be to have our small private pool!
Trip To Jamaica
This photo of the Duchess of Sussex was taken in 2017 while she and Prince Harry were on vacation in Jamaica. In this photo, you can see the Duchess enjoying the beach by the sea.
About travelling, Meghan once said, “I love to travel. As big as the world might seem, it’s really small and you need to see it. It’s amazing how much you find out about yourself when you travel.”
Football Game
This photo of the was taken on October 18, 2018, while the now Duchess of Sussex was at the beginning of her 16-day tour of Australia, New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji with her husband, Prince Harry.
She was at an Australian Football League gameball at a Melbourne reception hosted by Victoria’s This Girl Can empowerment campaign. Note that at the time, the duchess was pregnant AND in high heels!
Good Time On A Yacht
This photo was taken in 2016, shortly before Meghan became Duchess, during a photoshoot for Good Housekeeping. She can be seen on a yacht, wearing a nautical minded Aritzia dress paired with a Gap sweater.
About the perfect travel outfit, Meghan said, “There are certain things I’ve learned that make you look a bit more polished,” she says. “I dress monochromatically… some really great comfy trousers, a comfortable top, the black blazer, something like that. Just so you look refined.”
Happy Couple
This photo of the British royal couple was taken in 2020 as Meghan and Prince Harry made their grand return to the United Kingdom to attend Thursday night’s Endeavour Awards.
This so cute picture of them under an umbrella, the rain lighting up like thousands of sparks around them, quickly went viral on the internet. They seem so happy together! Now, that’s love.
Stylish Summer Outfit
On this picture, we can see Meghan Markle wearing a nice, stylish summer outfit combining a navy blue short, a red and navy blue sweater and a hat. How cute this outfit is!
The sweater and the shorts Meghan is wearing come from Aritzia while the hat is from Madewell. In our opinion, it’s the perfect combination! It’s stylish, and it looks comfortable!
Street Style
Meghan reportedly sported this street style look back in 2017. We absolutely love the casual side of the outfit, enhanced by a leather coat that adds a little rock touch to the look!
We could imagine ourselves wearing this look to go for a relaxing drink with friends one night after a long day of work! And you don’t even have to stop by the house to change, because this look can also be appropriate for work!
Red Dress
This photo of Meghan was taken on July 14, 2016 while she was on her way to the set of the Today Show, at the NBC Rockefeller Center Studios, for an appearance on the show.
She was then visiting the Today Show set to promote the TV series Suits, in which she still played at the time, but not for long, sadly. She left the acting life around a year after.
Outing In New York
This photo of Meghan was taken on March 18, 2016. She can be seen sporting a chic, yet casual and sexy look on the streets of New York. She then went to the Today Show studio for a early morning appearance.
She went for an interview there to talk about Spring fashion and the latest trends. She wore a rumper combo signed Veronica Beard Boca with a matching Veronica Beard Orchid Blazer.
Early Career
Early in her career, Meghan did a lot of photoshoots and got several smaller roles on television and in some movies to try to launch her career. It’s hard to become a celebrity, after all!
This photo of the now Duchess of Sussex is from that time, when her career was in its early beginnings. Fortunately for her, her efforts paid off and her acting career finally became a reality!
Vanity Fair
This stunning picture of a smiling Meghan Markle was taken in 2017 by photographer Peter Lindbergh. It was taken as part of a photoshoot she did for an article in Vanity Fair magazine.
In this edition, Meghan was the Cover Story thanks to her meeting with Prince Harry. It is hard to imagine how much her meeting with her Prince has changed her life in so many ways!
Denim Shoot
In this photo, we can see Meghan in an all denim outfit for a photoshoot. It’s hard to create a complete style in denim, yet here it works perfectly. We are a little jealous!
What’s more, the beauty has beautiful legs, and clearly, she knows it! She does not hesitate to show them. In fact, we should say that she didn’t hesitate, because she can’t do this kind of pictures anymore.
Pretty Legs
This cute picture of Meghan was taken in 2013. It was snapped during a shooting with photographer Matt Barnes as part of a collaboration with the Canadian magazine Sharp.
Meghan has beautiful legs, and she’s not shy about showing them off in this gorgeous photo. And we have to admit that we understand her; if we were her, we would do the same thing!
Real Young Meghan
Did you know that Meghan Markle was actually born Rachel Meghan Markle? She probably gave up the name “Rachel” early in her career to have a simpler, shorter name, easier to remember.
When she married Prince Harry, though, her name was officially changed to Rachel Meghan Mountbatten-Windsor. That is definitely a name that sounds really important!
In Front Of The Buckingham Palace
In the summer of 1996, at the young age of 15, teenage Meghan Markle accompanied her best friend Ninaki Priddy and her family on a vacation to London. How nice it should have been!
Far from suspecting that she would eventually become the wife of Prince Harry, the Duchess-to-be smiled for the camera in front of Buckingham Palace. How cute is that?
Teenage Girl Night
According to Meghan’s childhood friend, Ninaki Priddy, Meghan has always been fascinated by the royal family, and she sees her former friend’s union with Prince Harry as a game that Meghan would have played very well. In an interview with the Daily Mail, after the announcement of the engagement.
She revealed, “I’m not shocked at all. It’s like she has been planning this all her life. […] She gets exactly what she wants and Harry has fallen for her play. She was always fascinated by the Royal Family. She wants to be Princess Diana 2.0. She will play her role ably, but my advice to him is to tread cautiously.”
She was beautiful in college
Meghan Markle is a very smart woman, there’s no doubt about it. She graduated from Northwestern’s School of Communication with a double major in theater and international relations.
Before that, the now Duchess of Sussex studied at Northwestern University, and she even studied abroad in Madrid. She is the proof that beauty can rhyme with studiousness!
Meghan smiling with a mysterious man
This picture of a younger Meghan with a young man is a good memory of a night out to remember in Chicago to celebrate her graduation from Northwestern University. That’s a good reason to celebrate!
This young man would supposedly be the maître d’ of a bar she visited while partying with her friends. Bet now he must think himself lucky to have a photo with Meghan Markle!
Her picture back home is beautiful
At her prom of the Immaculate Heart High School, in 1999, Meghan was already taking her first steps into royalty. There’s no doubt about it, Meghan was destined for royalty!
At the time, she indeed was crowned Prom Queen of her cohort. After all, it’s not hard to believe that she deserved this title. She is beautiful, kind, intelligent… All hail the Queen!
Cuteness overload
Meghan loves her dogs, and this little one, named Guy, must feel pretty lucky now that he is part of the British royalty! Can he get as many hugs as he used to get, though?
Unfortunately, we kind of doubt it. After all, a Duchess has several obligations, and now he must share his love not only with Meghan’s other dogs, but also with the Prince.
College Girl
This photo of a younger Meghan was taken during the 2000-2001 school year while she was a student at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. She looked very happy in this picture!
Meghan was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. After her junior year, she got an internship as a junior press officer at the American embassy in Buenos Aires.
Meghan and her father
Meghan has a very complex relationship with her family. Her father, Thomas Markle Sr. was a television director of photography and lighting. As a child, she often accompanied him on film sets. However, their relationship worsened when Meghan chose to marry Prince Harry.
He allegedly doctored paparazzi photos and invented heart problems to avoid attending the wedding, and then in the summer of 2018, he began disclosing personal information about his daughter and indulge attacks against her and her in-laws.
This picture of the high school
This photo of a teenage Meghan Markle was taken in the 1990s. Meghan was then studying at the Immaculate Heart High School, a Catholic school strictly reserved for girls.
In this picture, she can be seen with two of her friends from that time. We can just imagine Meghan being one of the most popular girls in school and having a ton of friends!
