Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is best known as the actress who starred in the American series Suits for seven seasons. But Meghan Markle wasn’t always a “queen” of the stage. She also prepared for a role in world affairs. “I’ve always loved politics, so I ended up doing a double major in theatre and international relations,” said Northwestern graduate Marie Claire.
