Meghan Markle went from cable TV regular to one of the most talked-about women on earth. Most folks first clocked her as whip-smart paralegal Rachel Zane on Suits. Then came a blind date with a British prince, and suddenly her life turned into front-page news every single day.

Now she's back in sunny California with Harry, cutting big streaming deals, producing podcasts, and doing things on her own terms. Love her or hate her, whenever she steps out, everyone stops and stares.
