Pre-Royalty Pictures of Megan Markle

Briefcase: Beauty Queen 

Meghan's role as a model on the game show “Deal or No Deal” was one of her first major opportunities in her acting career. Her duty was to either make someone's day (or lifetime) or to ruin their aspirations and send them home empty-handed. Although it was not a large role, it was a speaking role on a nationally syndicated show. She was a part of the program for a few years before leaving. She was trying to figure out who she was and what path she should take in life. According to “Esquire,” she saw her position on the show as a learning experience that helped her focus on what she actually wanted to be and do.

She was married once before

Before she was happily wedded to the attractive red-headed prince, the duchess was married to a tall, blonde film mogul. This is Meghan in her previous life as an actress in Hollywood, where she was married to Trevor Engelson who was a talent manager and producer. Meghan and Trevor married in 2011 after dating for seven years. But they called it quits two years later, citing “irreconcilable issues.” According to a source, Meghan was the one who called things off and even stated that it happened “quite unexpectedly.” According to certain sources, Engelson is working on a comedy about divorce centered on the royals. We'll certainly keep an eye out for that one!
