Meghan, Duchess of Sussex

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, born Rachel Meghan Markle in 1981, is an American actress turned royal, known for her role in the legal drama Suits and her advocacy work. Markle's career took off after she developed a platform through The Tig, a lifestyle blog that highlighted her fashion and charitable efforts. Her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018 made her a member of the British royal family, a union that drew attention to issues of race and media scrutiny. After two years, the couple left their royal duties, citing a desire for privacy and a move towards a new life in California, where they continue to engage in philanthropy and business ventures.
