Prince Harry may be the last, but he is definitely not the first known celeb that tried to make a move with Meghan Markle. Ashley Cole, a well-known English Soccer Player showed interest in dating Meghan. He was obsessed with watching her in “Suits” and following her on Twitter and repeatedly asking her out.
A few good friends and acquaintances of hers warned her and said Ashley Cole is not a guy she could have a future with and described him as an imbalanced womanizer. After hearing that, she didn’t even give him a chance, and things never seemed to go anywhere between the two.
Her Grand Appearance
Meghan Markle spent almost a decade of her life on the set of "Suits." She is practically known for this role, and it was this role that shot her into the pits of fame. "Suits" first aired in 2011 and immediately became a hit. If only we had known that one of the fresh and exciting appearances on the show would soon become one of the most famous women in the world.
Rachel Zane (played by Markle) evolved and developed along the seasons, showing Meghan's true acting abilities. When Harry, Prince Charming came into the picture, she had to, unfortunately, leave the show, and dedicate her life to becoming...a royal.
Hang Out All Night Long
Meghan's life in Canada before entering fairytale land was pretty much - wonderful. Shooting "Suits" was one of the main reasons for being there, and the entire cast became really good friends, spending free time together is one of the cast's vacation homes.
It must have been a marvelous chapter in her life since the series sprawled over nine seasons from 2011 to 2019. Although the joint-life of Meghan and the "Suits" cast ended when she met Harry in the summer of 2016, there was still one big event they would all end up going to together. The so-called wedding.
She Learned How to Drive a Stick Shift
When Meghan was seated in a manual (or stick shift) car, she didn't know what she was supposed to do. She has an automatic car driver's license (like most of us in the states), but in one of the movies she played in, a manual one was required, so of course she either needed to learn how to drive it or they had to get another car.
Apparently, she had to learned how to operate that car, within an hour. Something quite incredible to do. Although manual geared cars as rare to find these days, it is always good to have the knowledge.
She Has Some Hidden Talents
While it’s no secret that Meghan Markle is a talented actress and a beautiful wife and mother, there are some things about her that may not be so well-known. She’s worked a series of odd jobs and gigs while she was in college and before she made her big break on "Suits." Not only did she pick up roles here and there on television, but she also utilized one skill that may not be so common in Hollywood – calligraphy.
Between 2004 and 2005, the actress could be found at a store in Beverly Hills teaching others how to rock some perfect handwriting skills. She also put her talents to good use in other ways, like handwriting the invitations for Robin Thicke’s wedding. Something tells us that her talent in calligraphy is definitely going to come in handy as a royal. The Duchess certainly has quite an extensive list of skills and experience!
