Meghan Markle's life in photo albums

Meghan Markle's life in photo albums



From intimate family pictures to the engagement photo call with her new royal fiance, this dazzling photo album documents the extraordinary life of Meghan Markle.



It shows how a young girl born and raised in Los Angeles grew up to become the princess of Hollywood, landing supporting roles on the small screen before finally getting her big break in legal drama suits.



Candid snaps taken by Miss Markle, 36, herself and shared on social media reveal a jet-set lifestyle and a passion for food, beauty, travel — and a love of exercise.





Then there are the photographs that chronicle her relationship with Prince Harry, 33, as the pair embarked on what seemed like an unlikely royal romance.



Over the past 16 months, the couple have criss-crossed the globe as they got to know each other, first in the privacy of their homes - hers in Toronto and Los Angeles, his in Britain - and then in front of the world's watching eyes as they went public with their love.





It was then it was clear that this was something special.



On Monday the pair announced their engagements and will soon start planning their wedding, which will take place next spring. But first, a look back at the photos that tell the story of the remarkable Miss Markle...
