Just imagine: a few years ago, Meghan Markle was known only to fans of the TV series Suits, and now she is a superstar that the whole world is talking about. We decided to tell interesting facts from the biography of a celebrity, which may surprise you a lot.
In Suits, Meghan Markle’s character is named Rachel Zane. Interestingly, the future wife of Prince Harry did not have to get used to the new name, because her first name sounds exactly the same. Yes, yes, at birth the girl was named Rachel Meghan Markle, and with age she preferred the second name.
In 2017, when Meghan Markle was the talk of the world in connection with her romance with Prince Harry, journalists immediately became interested in the actress’ family tree. So Bunte magazine found out that the girl has German roots. Additionally, Megan’s paternal ancestors are said to have had the surname … Merkel! Only with the move to the United States was the surname changed to the American way.
Meghan Markle is the owner of very beautiful handwriting (thanks to calligraphy classes at a Catholic school). Before becoming an actress, she worked in a print shop as a calligrapher and wrote custom postcards. So, for example, Megan’s handwritten postcards for VIP clients of Dolce & Gabbana and invitations to the wedding of Robin Thicke and Paula Patton.
Feminism as a way of life
Markle was a staunch feminist before she became mainstream. Few people know that in 1992, 11-year-old Megan saw a soap ad on TV, where she was outraged by the words: “Women across America struggle with greasy pots and pans.” With the fact that instead of a woman in the kitchen, the girl categorically disagreed and shared her experiences with his father.
Thomas Markle advised his daughter to intervene: Meghan then wrote a letter to the makers of the soap, Hillary Clinton, human rights lawyer Gloria Allred and TV presenter Linda Ellerby. The 11-year-old girl’s protest was surprisingly successful! At her request, the word “women” in the ad was replaced with the word “people” and Linda Ellerby even interviewed the young feminist.
Megan had to forget her feminist principles while working on Deal Or No Deal. The project is very popular in many countries of the world: its essence is that participants alternately choose one of the 26 trunks in which the jackpot can be.
Beautiful models in short dresses with a deep neckline and high heels stood next to the cases, smiling sweetly and at the right moment, if the hero of the show pointed to a certain trunk, they opened it. Megan modeled under number 24.
Markle is ashamed of this page of her biography and almost never remembers it. Only once, a few years ago, she commented that it was a great experience anyway. At least Meghan learned endurance when she had to endure the pain in “cheap hard shoes with 10cm heels”.
Another episode that Meghan Markle would prefer to have her fans (and the internet) erase from their memory is her role in the continuation of the cult TV series Beverly Hills 90210. The heroine of the actress Wanda is a girl without complexes and morals. The first scene in which we meet her is oral sex with one of the main characters right in the car in the parking lot in front of the school.
We can easily imagine Megan over a glass of wine, but a few years ago Harry’s wife admitted that she actually loves beer! On Markle’s Instagram page (the social network was recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation), which she had to delete after the announcement of her engagement to the prince, a photo could sometimes be seen where the famous personality spends time with a glass of foam.
Getting to know the mother-in-law
It seemed that Megan felt that she would connect her life with one of the members of the British royal family. Close actresses said that she liked to read books about Princess Diana. According to them, Markle literally reveled in these works and at times was able to quote entire chapters.
Dog is human’s best friend
An obvious plus that Meghan has helped to please Queen Elizabeth is her love of dogs. Markle had two! Interestingly, for the first time the dog appeared in the house of the actress thanks to Ellen DeGeneres. Once during filming, they went to an animal shelter, where Markle fell in love with one of the puppies so much that the TV presenter insisted on taking him home.
Megan thus acquired a four-legged friend – a beagle named Guy, who moved with his lover to Kensington Palace in 2017. Markle also had a second pet, Bogart the labrador, but he had to be given to friends because of the dog’s age, it was dangerous to transport him across the ocean.
At university, Megan decided to study two specialties at once – acting and international relations. She has always been interested in politics – it is not for nothing that today there is a serious discussion on the web that in the near future Harry’s wife may run for the presidency of the United States of America. I wonder how many Americans are willing to believe her?
Surgeons around the world assure that Megan has done a lot of work on her nose – she looks thinner and sleeker, even the shape of the nostrils has changed, and the tip of the nose has become more pronounced, playfully turned up. With the untrained eye, it is impossible to catch Markle during a nose job: the changes are so accurate and precise that visually we still see the same Megan as many years ago.
