Meghan Markle and her spouse, Prince Harry, are currently in Canada. Their goal is to visit Vancouver in advance of the city's 2025 hosting of the Invictus Games.

While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now happily married, the mother of two has a long dating history.

Her first boyfriend was basketball star Steve Lepore, and they met during her first year at Northwestern University in Chicago. After five months of dating, Steve accepted an offer to attend college in North Carolina, ending their romantic relationship.

Andrew Morton, a royal biographer, has described the ex-couple as "quite the pair." Meghan made it apparent she wanted to create an immediate impression in her new surroundings and build her way up from there.

Meghan is the newest member of the royal family

Meghan Markle stole the heart of Prince Harry. While dating him, Meghan’s life was beginning to change in big and small ways. Meghan's transition into royalty is probably going to require even more drastic changes—like giving up her acting career and having to wear pantyhose all the time.

Following their marriage, Meghan will make good use of her new platform. She will be fulfilling her royal responsibilities and spending "her time to support several charities and organizations," according to her official royal website, which was launched shortly after the wedding.

It can be easy to forget that Meghan Markle is still getting used to life as a royal after some time has passed since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding. She does make it look pretty effortless, after all. That being said, there are some differences between being a Disney princess and a British duchess.

Indeed, Meghan had already begun making some major compromises for her Prince Charming long before the wedding.

Here are some things that Meghan has been barred from doing since she said "I do" at the church, so long selfies, no more signing autographs, etc.

Real-Life Experiences that Meghan Markle Had Before Meeting Prince Harry

Although Meghan Markle is now best known as the Duchess of Sussex, she had a successful career as an actress, activist, and businesswoman before she married Prince Harry and had Archie. In our opinion, Prince Harry may have just gotten married.

Before marrying into the royal family, Meghan was well-known for her acting career, having played Rachel Zane in the American legal drama Suits. But her long list of achievements before becoming a royal also included a double major in theater and international studies, a career as a freelance calligrapher, and a popular lifestyle blog!
