These days, Meghan Markle is one of the most famous people on the planet.
But before she married Prince Harry, Meg was just another lesser-known actress struggling to break through in Hollywood.
While we’re sure those days weren’t always easy, Meghan seemed to have a lot of fun, and of course, she always maintained her impeccable sense of style.
