Happy Birthday Meghan Markle! A Look Back at Her Most Relatable Pre-Royal Looks

by Isabel Slone August 4, 2018

Before Meghan Markle was a beautiful princess married to the man sixth in line to the British royal throne, she was a beautiful actress. And not just any beautiful actress, she was once so eager to become a public figure she attended countless red carpet premieres, galas and gifting lounges, and was once photographed with an over-the-counter brand of flu medication. In honour of the beautiful royal princess’s 37^th birthday today, we’ve compiled this slideshow of Meghan’s most #relatable pre-fame looks that make us seriously nostalgic for the mid-2000s.

Royals, they’re were just like us!
