Biography
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, built a career across acting, entrepreneurship, and media before becoming one of the most scrutinized figures in the modern British royal family. Born Rachel Meghan Markle on August 4, 1981, in Los Angeles, she trained at Northwestern University and landed her breakout role as Rachel Zane on the legal drama Suits, which she held for seven seasons from 2011 to 2018. During her acting run, she cultivated a lifestyle blog called The Tig (2014–2017) and became involved in charity work centered on women's issues and social justice.
She married Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex—the younger son of King Charles III—in 2018, earning the title Duchess of Sussex. The couple has two children, Archie and Lilibet. In January 2020, they stepped down as working royals and relocated to Southern California, where they launched Archewell Inc., a Beverly Hills-based organization blending for-profit ventures with charitable initiatives. High-profile media appearances followed: in March 2021, she and Prince Harry sat for Oprah with Meghan and Harry, a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey. She wrote the children's book The Bench, hosted the podcast Archetypes in 2022, and starred in the Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan (2022) and the cooking show With Love, Meghan (2025). In April 2025, she officially launched As Ever, a lifestyle and cooking brand. As an actor, she performs on screen across scripted drama, documentary, and lifestyle formats. Born in the United States, she holds U.S. citizenship. Her Leo sign and life-path number 4 suggest a creative foundation grounded in practical, deliberate team-building [birth fact].
