Meghan Markle Bio, Ethnicity, Age

Rachel Meghan Markle was born on August 4, 1981,in Los Angeles, California, USA. She was raised in one of the wealthiest African-American neighborhoods in the United States, View Park-Windsor Hills, often referred to as “Black Beverly Hills.”

Meghan Markle attended Northwestern University where she graduated with a double major in Theater and International Relations. Prior to graduating, Meghan interned at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, before returning to the United States to begin her acting career. Her acting credits include Remember Me, Bring It On Greek and the 2011 American black comedy film Horrible Bosses. Most notable is her portrayal of Rachel Zane on the legal drama series Suits for seven seasons.

Meghan Markle’s father was born to Dutch, English and Irish settlers. According to the future royal bride, her father is Caucasian while her mother is African American. She describes herself as half black and half white.

However, she struggled to get film roles early in her career as she was considered either too light for black roles or too dark for white ones. the Costume star has since embraced her identity as a mixed-race woman.

Meghan Markle is currently 36 years old.

Mother father

Meghan’s father, Thomas W. Markle, is a retired Hollywood cinematographer and Emmy Award-winning television lighting director. Thomas Markle is known for working on iconic American shows including Married with Children and General Hospital. According to Meghan, her father introduced her to Hollywood as she often accompanied him to movie sets.

Meghan’s relationship with her father was strained during her teenage years, however, Thomas Markle is expected to walk his daughter down the aisle when she says ‘I do’ to Prince Harry on May 19. The former actress has 2 paternal half-siblings, Samantha Grant Markle and Thomas Markle Jr., from her father’s previous marriage.

His mother Doria Loyce Ragland is a clinical psychotherapist and yoga teacher with a master’s degree in social work from the University of Southern California. Meghan admits she was raised to be a global citizen by her social worker mother and to keep her eyes open to the realities of the world we live in..

Meghan Markle’s relationships

She dated Los Angeles-based producer and talent manager Trever Engelson for 7 years before getting married to him in September 2011. However, the marriage did not last as long as courtship as it ended in 2013.

However, Meghan found love again in May 2016, when she was introduced to Prince Harry by a mutual friend. They were set on a blind date and even though the American actress knew very little about the royal family, she and Prince Harry hit it off almost immediately. They managed to keep the relationship a secret for about 5 months, but in October 2016 the media caught up with them and it became common knowledge that the pair are an item.

The news that Meghan and Prince Harry had a thing gone was unfortunately followed by intense media scrutiny of the American actress. Even for one who had been in the spotlight for some time, Meghan found it far too much to handle. Being the gentleman he is, the Prince of Wales tried to protect his wife as much as he could by imploring social media trolls to tone it down.

The couple eventually weathered the storm of media harassment against Meghan and continued to grow. On November 27, 2017, they officially announced their engagement. According to the statement released by the official residence of Prince Charles, the couple will reside at Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace. Definitely a happy ending to this one-of-a-kind royal love story!

Net value

Meghan Markle currently has a net worth of around $7 million. Even if it’s only a fraction of what her future husband, the Prince of Wales, is worth, $7million is still a fortune. Throughout her 7 season stint on the hit legal TV series Suits, Meghan has earned around $50,000 per episode.

Even as Meghan embraces the show and, of course, her salary to take on her new role as an English royal, she has little to worry about in terms of finances. It is expected that, as she is a member of the Royal Family, the cost of her public and private activities will be borne by the Duchy of Cornwall, the private estate of her future father-in-law, Prince Charles. Well done Meghan!
