Meghan Markle
Duchess of Sussex, Suits Actress, Podcast Host
The Modern Lion Leaving the Pride
Meghan Markle did what no senior royal had done in the modern era: walked away from the institution on her own terms. Her Leo audacity in the Oprah interview — speaking openly about racism and mental health within the Royal Family — sent shockwaves through Britain and made her one of the most debated women alive.
Leo Legacy
- Suits: Rachel Zane across 7 seasons — established her as a credible actress
- Royal Wedding: 2018 — 29 million US viewers, 18 million UK viewers
- Oprah interview: 2021 — the most watched royal interview since Princess Diana
- Archewell: Founded media company and production deals with Netflix and Spotify
Markle’s Leo self-determination was too big for any institution to contain — even the British Royal Family.
“I have always found my strength in being real.”
