Meghan Markle, 36, is the woman who will marry Prince Harry in May.
The stunning actress, born and raised in Los Angeles, will be a very different type of royal for the British family.
She has has a successful and varied career as an actress, and is also known for her proud advocacy of women’s rights causes.
Meghan’s parents and family, including her mother Doria Radlan, have been a source of intrigue for Britons. Now a touching blog post Meghan wrote about her mother has been revealed.
In the post, unearthed from Meghan’s now deleted blog The Tig, describes Doria in touching prose, with lots of love and warmth.
The actress describes her mother as a free spirit with a facial piercing.
She wrote of her mother: “Nose ring. Yoga instructor. Social worker. Free spirit. Lover of potato chips & lemon tarts.”
Meghan also described Doria as having excellent moves on the dance floor.
She wrote: “And if the DJ cues Al Green’s soul classic ‘Call Me,’ just forget it. She will swivel her hips into the sweetest little dance you’ve ever seen, swaying her head and snapping her fingers to the beat like she’s been dancing since the womb.”
Meghan’s father Thomas Markle and her mother are no longer together, and Doria lives in Los Angeles while her father lives in Mexico.
The actress has spoken about her mother numerous times, always with resounding praise.
She has also addressed the issue of being biracial.
In a piece for Elle Magazine Meghan wrote: “Being biracial paints a blurred line that is equal parts staggering and illuminating.
“While my mixed heritage may have created a grey area surrounding my self-identification, keeping me with a foot on both sides of the fence, I have come to embrace that.
“To say who I am, to share where I’m from, to voice my pride in being a strong, confident mixed-race woman.”
A palm reading expert says Prince Harry loves Meghan Markle because of this reason.
