American, divorced, biracial… oh, my!
Not only is Meghan Markle an American woman, but she’s also a divorcee.
She married her longtime partner Trevor Engelson on September 10, 2011,divorcing himonly two years later.
However, Meghan continued to make headlines for a completely different reason: her ethnicity.
Though her race is quite a hot topic of discussion, Meghan has always faced questions about her ethnicity.
She alsodelivered a speechon International Women’s Day in 2015 at the UN Women conference in New York City.
Kate Middleton is rarely seen wearing jeans and for good reason.
Some people took to social media (viaYahoo!
“Technically, the couple are working representatives of the British Monarchy,” Meier said.
I mean, can you blame them?
However, this isn’t due to Meghan’s previous divorce, as one might think.
Far more important than marital history to the royal family is religious affiliation.
She was very dedicated.
I knew she would be something special."
When you know, you know!
She spent a surprise fairytale holiday with the royal family
Nobody puts Meghan in the corner!
According to thePrince himself, the couple “had an amazing time.”
Holiday magic is real!
A recipe for danger
Perhaps the strangest of all the royal rules is food-related.
As delicious as a shrimp salad sounds, it seems Meghan’s favorite dish is roasted chicken.
However, Meghan isn’t a woman who needs anyone to rescue her.
She’s always been an independent working gal, which is just another reason to have major girl-crush vibes.
Later that same year, she wore pants yet again when she and Harry attended the WellChild Awards.
However, Meghan dished about her relationship with Harry toVanity Fairin 2017.
But who didn’t love watching their story unfold?
We’re definitely not complaining.
“We’re two people who are really happy and in love,” Meghan revealed at the time.
“Nothing about me changed.
“It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours.
But we’re happy.
Personally, I love a great love story,” she said.
She broaches taboo subjects
In September 2019, Meghan Markle served as guest editor forVogue.
This was a bold move and something no other member of the royal family had ever done.
Meghan was actually also the first-ever guest editor in the magazine’s history (viaPeople).
This alone made more waves than simply appearing on the cover.
The ruling monarch isnot allowedto take a political stance.
As guest editor of Vogue, however, Meghan covered topics that sparked conversation and criticism alike.
She used it as an opportunity to celebrate transgender women and highlight causes close to her heart.
Thanks to all the praise and criticism the issue received, though, it sold out within two weeks.
Not bad for a first-time guest editor!
These statements were seen by many as breaking the rule of remaining neutral on political matters (viaPeople).
Meghan has also revealed that, likeher,Harry is also a feminist.
This put Meghan in a difficult position,The Irish Timesreported.
The tweet was later deleted, possibly because the senator realized her mistake.
This seemed only to make things worse, so Noone ended up deleting that tweet as well.
“But given how chilly London can be, it may be a practical choice more than anything!”
Royal protocol dictates thatwomen wear hatswhenever they attend a formal royal event or occasion.
“It becomes a trademark when she continues to wear them when everyone else stops,” Behlen said.
It’s no wonder women of the royal family continue to don them.
One such tradition is that royal weddings always take place on a weekday.
Then there was the cake, which was a lemon elderflower-flavored cake topped with buttercream and fresh flowers yum!
She and Harry also didn’t share their birth plan with the world.
The couple also didn’t pose for a photo with their newborn outside of the hospital.
But Meghan had a style all her own.
The outlet pointed out that Meghan’s hairstyle was the opposite of Princess Catherine’s usual not-a-hair-out-of-place chignon.
News, Queen Elizabeth II always greeted people with a handshake.
But Meghan Markle clearly enjoys interacting with people.
On some occasions, she’s hugged fans and taken photos with them.
Once, Prince Harry even asked a fan who looked like Meghan to take a photo with her.
Back in 2018, Meghan made one wellwisher very happy while visiting Birmingham for International Women’s Day.
Something else Meghan has occasionally done that also goes against strict royal protocol is granting autographs.
According toExpress, royals don’t sign autographs for the public to prevent their signatures from being forged.
The couple’s shockinginterview with Oprah Winfreysparked public criticism and empathy alike.
No other royal family members have ever spoken this openly about life inside the palace, except Princess Diana.
“It’s a dirty game.
Meghan added, “I realized they [the royal family] are never going to protect you.”
After stepping down from the royal family, the couple relocated toCalifornia.
