Meghan Markle may be widely known as the Duchess of Sussex these days, prior to her marriage to Prince Harry, she was best known for the career she forged in her own right. The 37-year-old was born in California, America. After growing up in Hollywood, Meghan then went on to work as an actor, famously playing Rachel Zane in Suits.
