Meghan Markle’s Best Pre-Royal Instagram Posts

From puppy face filters to future duchess

Ever since Prince Harry popped the question to Meghan Markle, the world has been royally obsessed with the American actress and duchess-to-be.

Of course, dating a royal comes with restrictions and strict public expectations: Meghan has quit her role on Suits, moved countries, and shut down her lifestyle website, The Tig. Though it’s still open, she also hasn’t posted on her Instagram in eight months.

And while there’s no doubt Meghan is every bit the perfect princess – charitable, smart, well spoken, likeable and – very importantly – stylish, just like Kate Middleton, her pre-royal days would probably have the Queen in a bit of a tizzy. 

From puppy face filters to midnight party posts, see Meghan’s best Instagrams below.
