From the second their engagement was announced all eyes were on her, and especially now since she and Prince Harry declared they would be stepping down.

Attended All-Girls Catholic School
Markle received an education at an all-girls catholic affiliated school for about six years. She had an early predilection for cursive and explained that her days at the school were not extremely glamorous.

Fake Name
Meghan Markle was actually born as Rachel Markle but she changed it to have a better stage name when she became an actress. When she went royal her name changed again to Duchess of Sussex.
Distant Cousins
The Daily Mail put out a genealogy find that said Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were distantly related. Their family tree happens to go back fifteen generations so most people ignore this tiny detail.
Young Advocate
Even at the early age of 11, Meghan was speaking out for women’s rights. After seeing an offensive commercial that implied women should do the dishes, the young feminist wrote a strong letter to the producers to change the language.
Double Major
Markle attended Northwestern University where she was a theatre nerd with a strong interest in politics. Although she loved acting, she didn’t want to be known as the classic LA girl who went on to be an actress. Instead, she chose to double major in theatre and international relations.
U.S. Embassy
Markle completed all her credits by junior year so she applied for an internship at the U.S. embassy, and ended up working at the U.S. Embassy in Argentina for several months. After this she was sure she would have a profession in politics.
