She Gets “It” From Her Mother
Meghan grew up in a household that worked hard to provide her with the best possibilities and opportunities in life. Her parents enrolled her in the greatest schools and programs and attempted to show her the way they believed was best. This meant following in her mother Doria's footsteps and pursuing a higher degree. The actress began her career in one of Hollywood's best preschools before progressing to an all-girls Catholic school. She may not have earned a master's degree like her mother, but she's built a life for herself that doesn't require it.
Winning the Jackpot
As it turns out, her father's life has taken some unexpected turns. Despite the fact that Meghan's half-brother, Tom, claims she has “won the life lottery” by marrying the Prince, she is not the only one in the Markle family to have won a jackpot. Her father won about $1 million in the lottery when she was a child. Unfortunately for him, he chose to make investments with that money that did not work out. He did, however, use some of it to cover Meghan's private school expenses.
