Newly released childhood photos of Meghan Markle have offered a fresh look at her early life.
The images appeared in the Netflix documentary series about Prince Harry and Meghan. While the series focused on their relationship and decision to step back from royal duties, several personal family photographs stood out. Many of these pictures had not been seen publicly before.
Meghan was born in Los Angeles in 1981 and grew up exposed to the entertainment industry through her father, who worked in television production. As a child, she often visited studio sets. She later attended a Catholic girls’ school and went on to study communications and theater at Northwestern University.
The newly shared photos show Meghan at different stages of childhood. In one, she appears alongside her mother, Doria Ragland. Others show her at school, smiling in uniform, and posing casually as a young girl. The images highlight her natural curls and confident expression, offering a glimpse of her personality long before royal life.
Before marrying Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan built a successful acting career, most notably in the television series Suits. She had also been married previously, a detail that received renewed attention after joining the Royal Family.
The release of these childhood images adds a more personal dimension to Meghan’s public story. For many viewers, they provide context to the woman behind the headlines and reflect a journey that began far from palace life.
