Rewriting history??
Meghan Markle, AKA the newly minted Duchess of Sussex, has been fully embraced by the royal family. However, it appears that her past in Tinseltown is one the Windsor family would like to forget!

Just one day after her internationally celebrated wedding to Prince Harry, Meghan found herself with a page on the royal family’s official website. While her “About” page touted Miz Markle’s extensive charity work and feminist viewpoint, it shockingly left out her tenure in Hollywood.
Instead, the website developers buried her Suits gig and her lifestyle website, The Tig, in the smaller biography section. Her bio reads as follows:
“After university Her Royal Highness worked as an actress, appearing in film and television. She most notably played the role of Rachel Zane on the series Suits for seven seasons, completing over 100 episodes. Whilst working on Suits, The Duchess moved to Toronto, Canada where the show was filmed; she feels very connected to Canada, as it became a second home to her…
Alongside her successful career as an actress, Her Royal Highness also wrote and edited a lifestyle website called The Tig which she used as a platform to discuss social issues such as gender equality in addition to articles on travel, food and fashion.”
You’d think this would be on her main page, right?? Nonetheless, Markle’s “About” page focuses more on her charitable work and past fighting for women’s rights. The website noted:
“The Duchess had a keen awareness of social issues and actively participated in charitable work. Aged 11 she successfully campaigned for a company to alter their television advert that had used sexist language to sell washing-up liquid…
These early experiences helped to shape her lifelong commitment to causes such as social justice and women’s empowerment.”
Huh. Although, to be fair, the new Duchess will no longer be pursuing an acting career now that she’s a royal. Rather, like her husband and other members of the royal family, Meghan will spend her time giving back to charities that benefit the Commonwealth.
So it only makes sense that her about page highlight her charity work — she’s a career philanthropist now!!
