Upon his reported first meeting with Meghan through a shared friend, Prince Harry followed up a visit to the Caribbean with a stay in Toronto, the Canadian city where Meghan resides and works – more on that later.

Some maintain that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it’s easy to see that Meghan has a lot going on, both internally and externally. Of course, she owes that to her parents, who initially met back in the ‘70s. Her dad, Thomas Markle, has Dutch-Irish roots and actually worked as a cinematographer on the television series “Married with Children.” On the maternal side, her mom Doria - a yoga instructor and clinical therapist - is African-American. So, Meghan has a beautiful mix of heritage, and she’s even got television in her blood due to her parent’s romantic and professional past.
