10 rare photos of Meghan Markle before she became a Duchess

5 Holidaying In the Sun

Before becoming a duchess, Meghan had a lot of images in a bikini and a month after she started dating Harry, she jet-setted to Italy with her best friend, Jessica Mulroney. All of their vacation snaps was on Jessica’s Instagram and they would definitely make the Queen blush, and not in a good way. Meghan is living the life while on holiday with trips to the beach and sunbathing with her bestie on deck chairs. The two instantly hit it off.

“Meghan adores Jessica, not just as a friend but also as someone whose taste and style are impeccable. Meghan looks up to Jessica and has, to a certain degree, modelled herself on her.” 

It’s rare because we will never see these sorts of photos from Meghan again because she needs to abide by royal rules now.

4 The Curly Hair Days

Ninaki and Meghan went to Europe in 1996 on a family trip. Meghan was only 15 years old but looks much older as she looks very professional while sitting on the fountain step at the Louvre in Paris. Markle’s expression is very serious as she holds a device in her hand and it looks like she means business. We’re not used to seeing a serious side to Markle, so this image is a rare one. Another thing worth mentioning is the hair as Meghan’s hair is always straight with some volume now and in this image, it looks like Markle is rocking her natural locks.

To tell you the truth, Meghan’s hair is curly in all her older photos which means she has natural curls. Markle also looks like any casual teenager with the white tee and white sneakers.

3 High School Graduation Headshot

High school photos are always the worst. Markle attended high school at the Catholic school of Immaculate Heart in Los Angeles and she looked completely innocent, especially with the little gap in her teeth. When Markle shows her teeth now, you can see she’s had work done to fix the gap between her two front teeth. Dr. Otto Placik says, “She clearly had her teeth whitened and the gaps closed with braces.” We don’t blame Meghan for fixing her teeth as it’s ideal to have a million-dollar smile when you live in Hollywood and especially when you’re a duchess.

Markle was a good student and according to one of her teachers, Maria Pollia, she was always happy and wasn’t afraid of having discussions in class and also raised her hand.
