From fashion shows to red carpets: 21 photos of Meghan before Harry that you've probably forgotten about

Though it’s difficult to remember a time before the royal wedding, the Duchess of Sussex once led a lifestyle made famous by the Hollywood set.

Whether it was front row tickets at New York Fashion Week or nudging shoulders with fellow A-listers in the name of charity, the former ‘Suits’ actress’s previous career was worlds away from what goes on behind the Kensington Palace gates.

Before sealing the deal with a kiss on the steps of St George’s Chapel on 19 May, Meghan enjoyed free reign over her wardrobe and needn’t worry about striking protocol-abiding poses for the cameras.

From cocktail making to a nostalgic look back at her Los Angeles style, here’s 21 photos of the Duchess before she met her Prince Charming.
