Biography
About Meghan Markle
On August 4, 1981, Rachel Meghan Markle was born in Los Angeles, California. She grew up in a mixed-race household and later attended Northwestern University, where she began acting in small television and film roles. From 2011 to 2017, she played Rachel Zane on the legal drama Suits, which became her best-known role. During that time, she also appeared in movies like Horrible Bosses and the series Fringe. Markle's on-screen work in Suits included several nude and sex scenes, a fact that contrasts with her later public role as a royal.
Markle has been a vocal feminist and addressed issues of gender inequality. She ran a lifestyle website called The Tig, which featured a column profiling influential women. In 2016, she released a line of clothing, and in the 2010s she represented international charities. She married actor and producer Trevor Engelson in 2011; they divorced in 2013. In 2017, she announced her engagement to Prince Harry, grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, and moved to London. She retired from acting, closed her social media accounts, and began carrying out royal engagements. After her wedding in May 2018, she became the Duchess of Sussex.
By profession, Markle is a former actress, business woman, influencer, podcaster, and royalty. She is American, of mixed-race background, and has brown hair and brown eyes. She stands 5'7" tall with an average body type. As of April 2024, she had 601,000 followers on Instagram. Markle's transition from Hollywood actress to a member of the British royal family, and then to an independent public figure, has kept her in the global spotlight for decades.
