Here’s What You Need To Know About New Royal Meghan Markle

Now that Meghan Markle has taken center stage after marrying Prince Harry in a lavish royal wedding at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, everyone wants to know much more about her. After all, there must be something special about Meghan that managed to make Harry fall in love with her.

To begin with, Meghan is a 36-year-old California native who started off her Hollywood career as a television actress. She has two parents, Doria Ragland and Thomas Markle, who divorced when she was young. She was raised by her mother. She also has two half-siblings from her dad’s side, Samantha Markle, and Thomas Markle Jr.

Meghan graduated from Northwestern University in 2003 and even briefly worked at the American Embassy in Buenos Aires. And while she’s dabbled in a few jobs here and there, she feels the most comfortable in front of the cameras. Meghan played the role of Rachel Zane in the hit USA legal drama Suits from 2011 until 2017. She quit her role in order to focus on her new position as a member of the British royal family.


Meghan will also be the first person of color in the modern British royal family. And while she has definitely been scrutinized by the British press, she’s focusing on just one thing: being Prince Harry’s new wife. According to the New York Times, she has said, “As naïve as it sounds, I’ve never been in tabloid culture, I’ve never been in pop culture to that degree.”
