Meghan Markle — Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, is one of the most recognizable public figures in all the world. Though she was well known as a Hollywood actress for many years, she now and forever will be remembered as the American starlet who captured the heart of Prince Harry, whom she married in 2018 at the St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Born in Los Angeles in 1981, Meghan had a very normal transition into an acting career, with her most success role to date being that of Rachel Zane on the USA show, ‘Suits’. It was while filming that show in Toronto that she met Prince Harry, who she met and seriously started dating in 2016, when arrived in Canada for the Invictus Games.

Since their fairytale wedding, the pair have welcomed a son, Archie, and have enjoyed all the pleasures of married life. In this photo, Meghan Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry attend the opening of the enhanced Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park, Sydney, in October 2018
