Before fame and royalty, Meghan Markle was a biracial girl in Los Angeles, often feeling like she didn’t belong. With a Black mother and white father, she faced constant questions about her identity. Raised by both parents until age nine, she then lived with her father, describing a modest life of “microwave dinners” and independence.

As a teen, Meghan felt like an outsider, calling herself a “nerd” who chose to be “the smart one” rather than the popular girl. At 11, she challenged a sexist TV ad, showing early signs of activism. Her father’s lottery win helped pay for private school, and she juggled jobs like babysitting and selling donuts while chasing acting dreams.

Hollywood wasn’t easy. “I wasn’t Black enough for the Black roles, and I wasn’t white enough for the white ones,” she once said. But by her 30s, she found peace: “It takes a lot of effort to be happy. But now I am.”After rising to fame in *Suits*, Meghan married Prince Harry in 2018. They had two children, but royal life brought challenges, including postpartum health issues and a miscarriage. Today, she shares her story as a mother and advocate — on her own terms, for anyone who’s ever felt unseen.
