Her Birth Name

Meghan Markle’s name rolls off the tongue quite smoothly, but her birth name is a little less perfect. Her parents actually named her Rachel Meghan Markle, although she ended up dropping her first name. She made the right call because the alliteration works better. Her dad is very familiar with the world of show business as well. As a lighting director in the past, his daughter spent some time on the set of Married… With Children. This experience inspired her to try her luck in Hollywood as well. She had big shoes to fill as her dad is an Emmy Award winner! Luckily, she surpassed all expectations.

Her Family Is Quite Controversial

Her family does not have the cleanest record, however. Her half-brother Tom Jr. has previously found himself in hot water with the law. Now in his fifties, he once got into a fight while he was drunk. They charged him with “menacing, pointing a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon.” Tracy Dooley, his ex-wife, said that he is supportive of Meghan Markle. She revealed, “I don’t want this to be embarrassing for Meghan. Tom has had a little fame and publicity since Meghan started dating Prince Harry. He wants what’s best for her. He is so happy and proud of her.”
