Meghan Markle’s journey from an everyday California girl to a royal household name is a twist of fate that even Hollywood couldn’t script. Starting with her cameo on General Hospital, she broke into showbiz with aspirations far beyond that. After graduating from Northwestern University, she snagged the iconic role of Rachel Zane on Suits, but little did she know, that was just the beginning of her spectacular leap into fame. Fast forward to May 2018, and Meghan tied the knot with Prince Harry, becoming the Duchess of Sussex, forever changing the course of her life.
But the fairytale didn’t stop there. Meghan became a mother to son Prince Archie in 2019 and welcomed daughter Princess Lilibet in 2021, all while navigating the chaotic waters of royal life. Since stepping back from her senior royal duties, she’s been busy making a name for herself—receiving the Ms. Foundation for Women’s Women of Vision Award in 2023 and even launching a Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, in 2025. Who knew escaping royal life could be this productive?
It’s intriguing to watch Meghan redefine her identity while balancing motherhood, activism, and her media career. As someone who’s experienced both the glitz of Hollywood and the responsibilities of royalty, what do you think her next chapter will hold? Maybe she’ll even start her own superhero franchise and share some royal wisdom along the way!
