Meghan was born on August 4, 1981, in LA. Thanks to her Emmy-winning lighting director dad, Thomas Markle, she dipped her toes into showbiz young. She often tagged along on set.
She went to an all-girls Catholic high school, a far cry from the glitz of the set.
“For 10 years after school, I was on the set of ‘Married, with Children.’ It was a wild place for a girl in a Catholic school uniform,” she told Esquire.
