MiniBio

Meghan Markle, born Rachel Meghan Markle on August 4, 1981, in Los Angeles, California, seemed destined for a life in the spotlight. Her father, Thomas W. Markle, a cinematographer known for his work on well-loved shows such as The Facts of Life and Married with Children, passed on his passion for the entertainment world to her. From an early age, Meghan Markle showed a strong interest in performance, which eventually led her to study theater at Northwestern University.

Before making a name for herself on screen, Meghan Markle honed her craft and gained experience through various small roles. She made her television debut in an episode of General Hospital, and went on to appear in films like A Lot Like Love and TV series such as CSI: NY. As her career progressed, Markle began to land more consistent roles, notably in 90210 and Fringe. Around this time, she also appeared in popular comedies like Get Him to the Greek and Horrible Bosses, which helped raise her profile.

It wasn’t long before Markle landed her breakout role as Rachel Zane, a sharp and ambitious paralegal, on the hit series Suits. Her performance on the show earned her widespread recognition and solidified her place in the entertainment industry. While balancing her acting career, Markle also ventured into other fields, launching her lifestyle blog The Tig in 2014 and supporting charitable causes through organizations such as World Vision Canada and UN Women.

In 2016, a major shift occurred in Meghan Markle’s life when she began a relationship with Prince Harry of the United Kingdom. The couple’s engagement was officially announced in November 2017, and with it, Markle revealed that she would be stepping away from Suits following the conclusion of its seventh season. Their wedding, held on May 19, 2018, at Windsor Castle, was celebrated with joy and excitement by fans and the British public alike.

Later that year, news came that the couple was expecting their first child, set to arrive in the spring of 2019. Throughout it all, Meghan Markle has remained a figure of grace and determination, navigating both the entertainment world and royal life with poise and purpose.
