Today's list is all about Meghan Markle a.k.a. the Duchess of Sussex. While everyone is obsessed with Meghan as royalty — some may tend to forget that prior to becoming Prince Harry's wife, Meghan was actually quite a successful actress. Considering that Meghan was born and raised in Los Angeles it certainly doesn't come as a surprise that she eventually ended up pursuing a career in Hollywood.
Meghan managed to kick off her career as an actress in the early 2000s with minor roles on television shows. Since then, the pretty star has been seen in some bigger Hollywood projects — but once she got engaged to Prince Harry her acting career has been put on pause. It has been rumored that Meghan will come back to Hollywood now that she and Harry have stepped back from their roles in the royal family, however, it seems as if she will mostly focus on documentaries. If you ever wondered what Meghan Markle has been in so far — keep on scrolling to find out!
