Meghan Markle\u2019s early life and career<\/strong>
Born in Los Angeles on August 4, 1981, Meghan was introduced to show business early by her father, Emmy-winning lighting director Thomas Markle. She attended Immaculate Heart High School and later Northwestern University, double-majoring in theater and international relations. Though she considered politics, acting remained her passion.<\/p>\n

Her first TV gig was as a briefcase model on Deal or No Deal<\/em>, a role she found unglamorous. She later appeared in General Hospital<\/em>, Get Him to the Greek<\/em>, and Remember Me<\/em> before landing her breakout role as Rachel Zane on Suits<\/em> in 2011, which she stayed on until 2018.<\/p>\n

First marriage to Trevor Engelson<\/strong>
Meghan married producer Trevor Engelson in 2011 after dating since 2004. The wedding, held in Jamaica, was a three-day celebration. But their relationship faltered as Suits<\/em> took off and Meghan moved to Toronto. They divorced in 2013, citing \u201cirreconcilable differences.\u201d According to biographer Andrew Morton, Meghan mailed Trevor her wedding rings, a move that reportedly devastated him.<\/p>\n

The Church of England only formally accepted remarriage for divorced individuals in 2022. While the monarchy has modernized in some ways, Meghan\u2019s divorce and outspoken stance on royal life stirred tension.<\/p>\n

While other European royals like Denmark\u2019s Queen have made modern moves\u2014such as stripping titles\u2014Harry and Meghan\u2019s decision, followed by public revelations, shocked the royal family. Their docuseries featured previously unseen footage of Meghan\u2019s childhood and family life, and even rare appearances by their children, Archie and Lilibet.<\/p>\n

Despite their intention to live a freer life in the U.S., their revelations didn\u2019t sit well with the Firm. But for Harry and Meghan, telling their side of the story was essential.<\/p>\n
