She said: “Just picture me with my curly hair and a gap in my teeth and my little school uniform with Keds (sneakers) on.”

The Duchess of Sussex’s real name is Rachel Meghan Markle. She decided long ago to go by her middle name.
- Meghan and Prince Harry are distant cousins
A sneak peak into Meghan Markle’s family tree revealed she and her new husband were very distant cousins. Though their link actually dates 15 generations back in time.
- She studied politics at university
Meghan told Marie Claire her interest in drama and politics saw her change her degree at Northwestern University.
She said: “I knew I wanted to do acting, but I hated the idea of being this cliché—a girl from L.A. who decides to be an actress.
“I wanted more than that, and I had always loved politics, so I ended up changing my major completely and double-majoring in theatre and international relations.”

Meghan has told of her close relationship with her alter-ego Rachel from the US television programme Suits.

As Meghan’s big day got underway, half-sister Samantha wished her a happy birthday in a Tweet which also saw the 53-year-old accuse the Duchess of not sending their father Thomas Snr a card for his 74th.
She said: “Happy Birthday Meg! It would be so lovely and appropriate of you to send DAD a BELATED birthday card for his July 18th. Cheers!”
Their father, who claims Meghan froze him out after he staged fake paparazzi pictures of him working out, getting fitted for a suit and reading up on the royal family in the run-up to her wedding to Prince Harry, said last week he planned to send her a card.
Meghan’s half-brother Thomas Jnr, 52, wrote an open letter to Prince Harry urging him to call off the wedding.
