Quote:Early life and education[edit]
Markle was born and raised in Los Angeles County, California.[4] Markle is of mixed race, and self-identifies as such: "My dad is Caucasian and my mom is African American. … I have come to embrace [it, and] to say who I am, to share where I'm from, to voice my pride in being a strong, confident mixed-race woman."[5]
Her mother, Doria, has a Master's in Social Work and works in social welfare as a yoga therapist.[6] Her father is Emmy Award winner Thomas W. Markle,[7] whose profession — a director of photography — had resulted in his daughter spending many years as a child on the set of Married... with Children.[8]
Markle was educated privately at Immaculate Heart High School, the all-girls, independent Roman Catholic high school in Los Angeles.[9] She graduated in 2003 with a communications degree from Northwestern University, where she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.[10][11]
Markle's acting career began unexpectedly when she was discovered at a party after her friend gave a manager a copy of Meghan's film in college to view.[12] To support herself between acting jobs Markle worked as a freelance calligrapher.[8]
