Meghan Markle wasn’t born into royalty or privilege. Raised in Los Angeles by a Black mother and white father, her childhood was shaped by racial duality, financial struggles, and a deep desire to belong.

Despite being a “latchkey kid” who grew up on microwave dinners and salad bars at Sizzler, Meghan developed a strong sense of justice early on—writing to a company about a sexist ad at age 11 and visiting TV sets with her father, a lighting director.

Acting became her passion, but so did activism. She juggled jobs and overcame insecurities, eventually landing her breakthrough role on *Suits*. During this time, her blog *The Tig* revealed her thoughtful reflections on life, identity, and self-worth.

In 2016, Meghan’s life changed when she began dating Prince Harry. Their 2018 wedding was a global moment, but behind the royal façade was relentless media scrutiny, much of it racially charged. Still, Meghan maintained grace under pressure.

Motherhood brought both joy and trauma. She faced a near-fatal postpartum condition and later shared her experience with miscarriage, giving voice to silent struggles many endure.

Meghan’s evolution has been rooted in a powerful truth: she is enough. No longer chasing approval, she uses her voice to uplift others.

Now more than a duchess or actress, she’s a mother, writer, and advocate—carving her own legacy, on her own terms.
