Sister Sister
Nowadays, we know Meghan Markle best for the illustrious and incredibly famous family she has now joined. But did you know, that it actually wasn’t the first high-profile organization she has joined? Because at college, she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Clearly, she had a taste for becoming part of prestigious and well-known elite groups.
Or is it just that her destiny always tends to lead her this way? Only time would tell. Somehow, some way or the other it was always like this. She always made her spot in elite groups and often ended up becoming their favorite friend.
Foodie Fun
While Meghan Markle was at college, she didn’t only enjoy the brilliant academic opportunities and studying fascinating subjects. And it wasn’t also just the social aspect and the prestige of joining her sorority. But something else became another passion of hers during her studies—food!
Markle admitted that she loved the late-night munch spot so popular with the student body. She revealed to the campus magazine that she was a huge fan of the 24-hour Burger King near her dorms. A girl after our own heart!
Hard Knock Life
Even though nowadays Meghan Markle is living the dream life of both a superstar actress and an actual real-life princess, she still had to pay her dues like any other up-and-coming thespian. It was not as easy as it sounds now but she sailed through like a true captain.
She revealed that when she first started out acting, she thought it would be easy—because she scored her first-ever audition immediately. But as time went on, she started to realize just how difficult it could be to make a career in showbiz.
President Meghan
As Meghan was struggling to make her mark in the acting industry, her thoughts naturally turned to other careers she could pursue if this one didn’t work out. And can you imagine what roles she considered? Did she plan at this point to become a princess?
We don’t know, but funnily enough, she did reveal that she briefly considered going into politics—and actually did an internship at the U.S. Embassy in Argentina! Imagine if we’d had President Markle—if she had still married Prince Harry, how would that work being princess AND president?
Princess Penmanship
And that wasn’t the only other career Markle considered during her younger years before she made it as an actress. When she was working and trying at auditions, she had to find other ways of making money and worked a lot of side gigs.
But one of them is certainly unexpected—she worked as a calligrapher! She produced beautiful artwork and lettering, creating wedding invitations for celebs like Robin Thicke and Paula Patton. Pretty niche, but clearly a woman of many talents.
Book Babe
And that’s not the only slightly random career Markle dabbled in while slowly working her way through showbiz to the top. Can you guess what her other role was? You probably would never think it!
Because she actually worked as a bookbinder—not only creating books herself but teaching classes and seminars on the topic. How absolutely random and wonderful! Even today, she says she still loves books and enjoys the different craftsman-ships involved in binding.
