In total, she appeared at 26 public engagements as Prince Harry’s fiancé. Her first official public appearance with the British royal family was in December of the same year, during a World AIDS Day walkabout event in Nottingham. The following year, the couple announced that they were engaged, and Markle announced that she would retire from acting. The two hit it off and their relationship was confirmed in November of the same year. In 2016, one of Markle’s friends set her up on a blind date with another friend, who turned out to be Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. During this time, she also founded and ran “The Tig,” a lifestyle website and blog, which allowed her to release two fashion collections with Reitmans, a Canadian clothing company. She left the show after seven seasons, in 2017. until 2011 when she landed the role of Rachel Zane in the legal drama “Suits,” which marked her breakthrough. Markle was mostly cast in small roles in both film and T.V. Before acting, she was an intern junior press officer at the American embassy in Argentina and considered a career in politics, but she was unable to proceed with her career and focused on acting, graduating from Northwestern University with a double major in theater and international studies.Įarly in her career, Markle faced difficulties in getting roles due to her ethnic ambiguity and worked other jobs between acting jobs to support herself. Markle’s first introduction to the television industry was visiting the sets of “Married… with Children,” where her father worked as a director of photography and lighting, as a child. and Doria Ragland, and she has two half-siblings on her father’s side. Her zodiac sign is Leo and her ethnicity is mixed race. Markle was born on August 4, 1981, in Los Angeles, California. She is widely known for her sense of style, kindness, generosity, and beauty, and continues to be a role model for women everywhere. We got a glimpse at Archie’s earliest days back in the United Kingdom.Meghan Markle has won the hearts of thousands around the world. Though footage and photos of the Sussex children sparingly (honestly, we couldn’t be happier to see them break a cycle of such entitled media frenzy for their little ones) what they chose to share was really very sweet. Still, we got a glimpse into their home lives via their Netflix special - Harry & Meghan - back in December 2022. For reasons that are completely understandable to anyone who knows even a tiny bit about Prince Harry’s life or the couple’s relationship, the Sussexes tend to be quite private about their family life and good on them for it. And while we do sort of hope that it involves ancient jewels and Princess Anne on horseback, we’re guessing that the family will have far less pomp and circumstances at their (admittedly palatial) home in Montecito, California. We don’t know how the Sussexes will actually be celebrating Mother’s Day. We here at Romper thought we’d celebrate mom’s special day with sweet photos of Meghan Markle with Archie and Lilibet. May 19 will also mark their fifth wedding anniversary and of course, before that, there’s Mother’s Day. (Something called a “coronation”? We’re sure it was a quiet, understated affair.) This also happened to coincide with the birthday of their firstborn, Prince Archie. Recently, Harry traveled to England for his dad’s promotion party. Even though we’re only about a quarter of the way through May, it’s been a busy month for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
