Britain's Prince Harry on Monday (November 27) announced his engagement to actress Meghan Markle, causing a stir.
The 33-year-old Harry and Markle were interviewed at Kensington Palace and talked about the details of the proposal. Harry said that the two would get married next spring, and then "making people" would be done step by step. Harry also revealed that the engagement ring was designed by himself, with two relics of his late mother, Princess Diana. He believes that his mother is in the spirit of heaven and must be excited about his engagement.
When the official Facebook page of the British royal family officially announced the marriage of Prince Harry, it was announced that the two would be married in the spring of 2018. Many British people are asking: Who is Markle?
Markle, who divorced the filmmaker in 2013, met Prince Harry three years later. Her parents are white and black, and she was once unable to find the opportunity to appear on the screen because of her skin color and race. Fortunately, she was appreciated by the producer of "Suits" and she finally had a set of famous works.
Because of skin color, I couldn't find the opportunity to appear on the camera.
36-year-old Markle was born in Los Angeles, USA, and his parents divorced when he was 6 years old. But she attended good schools as a child and graduated from Northwestern University, a private institution. She is an actress who plays lawyer Rachel Zane in the current American drama "Suits", and has also participated in "CSI Crime Scene: Miami", "90210" and other series. In terms of movies, she has starred in "Remember Me".
She is mulatto, with a black mother and a white father. She used to be troubled by her biracial identity:
I am not black enough to be a black character , nor white enough to be a white character. I'm a racial chameleon, stuck in the middle and can't find a character.
She thanked the producers of Suits for not deliberately choosing the race of the actors, but simply looking for the most suitable actor to be Rachel Zane.
Suits producer Aaron Korsh recalls that the hope was to pick an actor who would live up to Rachel Zane's "tough and attitude, but also lovable" role.
When Markle auditioned, Kersh and the others looked at each other as if everyone were saying: It's her! "I think it's because Markle has the ability to be smart and dazzling, yet sweet at the same time."
Non-star Harry didn't know her beforehand
After Prince Harry and Markle announced their engagement, they immediately accepted an exclusive TV interview, published by the BBC Interviewed the two on behalf of the media. In the interview, Markle revealed that the two didn't know much about Prince Harry before they were introduced by friends in July last year, and they only wanted to know his character before considering going to the meeting. Harry didn't know Markle at the time and hadn't seen any of her shows.
In fact, Markle was an actor, but never a big star. Even aside from her actress life, she can be described as an ordinary girl, and yoga, beach and avocado have brought her the greatest healing. She married "Remember Me" filmmaker Trevor Engelson early in their marriage, but they divorced in 2013 after only two years.
Markle once started a blog TheTig to share life moments, but closed it down in April this year, perhaps ready to devote himself to royal life with Prince Harry. She used to work as a waiter in a restaurant before, and she loves writing calligraphy more on weekdays, designing fonts for media freelance, and living a low-key and ordinary life.
Caring about the society and investing in charitable activities
The only thing that is extraordinary is that , as a star, Markle cares about the society from time to time, and has a rare kindness.
In 1992, during the riots in Los Angeles, she became socially conscious at the age of 11.
"When the riots happened, they wanted us to go home from school. There was soot all around." The street fires set the grass ablaze and smoked, and Markle said innocently at the time: "Oh my God Mom! It's snowing." Her mother responded, "It's not snow. Go back inside."
Markle worked at the US embassy in Argentina in his senior year because of his international relations course. In addition, she is the global ambassador of Canada Vision, and once went to Rwanda to help promote the organization's water purification project. She has also been to Afghanistan to support US troops and their families. In 2014, she participated in the UN gender equality campaign.
