Before she became the Duchess of Sussex, she was a Hollywood actress, but before landing her most famous role on Suits, she had to overcome some obstacles in order to get there.

Meghan Markle in her teens and early 20s
A lot of things Meghan Markle posted on social media have been erased since royals aren’t allowed to use any. She even had a blog, and that had to be deleted too. However, Wayback Machine extracted some of the things the Duchess of Sussex was posting before she became a member of the royal family. In 2014, Markle posted on her 33rd birthday how her early 20s weren’t as happy as she hoped they would be because she was trying to be someone she is not in order to please other people. She added that her teen years were even worse because she tried to fit into society being biracial.

Her turning point
In her former blog, she said when she was 24, a casting director in one of her auditions advised her not to wear too much makeup, and just be natural. “You need to know you’re enough.” She took this advice, stopped any pretenses she did as an actor and she acted as her true self. By the time she was 30, she got her part in Suits. She continued to be her natural self, which is why she is probably so respected.

Meghan Markle recently reopened her old Instagram in order to stay in touch with her old friends, but it had to be deleted because the royal family isn’t allowed to use social media. Before it was deleted, many media downloaded some images Markle posted on the account. Some images with her lying on the couch with her rescue dogs just showed how natural she really is.
Genuine while royal
She still likes to wear minimalistic makeup, which can be seen on photos posted by some official royal photographers.

Another proof that she is really genuine are the dogs, which the Queen’s corgis sensed that about the Duchess. She also makes us think how pregnancy is easy, judging by her posture, and her humble way of dressing. That makes us love her even more.
