The attitude towards the wife of the English Prince Harry and part-time Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle around the world is ambiguous. Americans tend to idealize her: after all, not the most notable actress managed to enter the ancient and one of the greatest royal family in Europe. The majority of the British, alas, do not like the alien foreigner, who time after time tramples the holy of holies of the conservative foundations of the royal dynasty.
Be that as it may, Meghan Markle was a media personality even before her wedding to Harry, having starred in no less than 30 films. And now, when she is active in public and charitable activities, works as an ambassador, takes part in UN projects and appears in photo reports, she is even more so under the close attention of the public at all levels.
Meghan Markle's non-standard, rather peculiar appearance attracts special attention
Was it just nature or did plastic surgeons have to correct the particularly noticeable flaws of this newly minted representative of the English royal family? Fortunately, it is now easy to achieve the truth: you just need to compare photos of the duchess from different years, and official confessions from Meghan Markle herself or representatives of cosmetic plastic surgery clinics are no longer required.
Nose shape
Let us remember that Megan has African roots: her mother, Doria Ragland, was born into an African-American family, and her appearance is clear proof of this. At the same time, Meghan Markle's face currently has clearly Europeanized characteristics, which is why her nose primarily attracts attention.
Meghan Markle's rhinoplasty results
In photographs of children and teenagers, it can be seen that the wings of the nose are quite wide, and the nose as a whole cannot be called neat - it looks rather large, considering the rest of the facial features. A perfectly executed rhinoplasty did not make any fundamental changes to the shape of the nose, but made it much more elegant: the back became thinner and the tip more precise.
Appearance
Wedding look
The royal title has made its own adjustments to Megan's appearance. Naturalness is the motto of bride's makeup. The bride appeared before the groom with a very natural make-up: neutral shadows, nude lipstick, hairstyle in the form of a low, slightly careless bun with curls. The only thing Markle hasn’t given up is long false eyelashes. In general, the image turned out to be calm, Megan looked flawless. Fans of the royal family have noticed that at 36 years old, the future duchess looks 29.
Megan adopted this natural image for herself and continues to delight her fans and husband.
Duchess's work
Since childhood, Megan was an inquisitive girl, read a lot of books and was already imbued with the idea of feminism at a young age. At the same time, she wrote the first letter of appeal to Hilary Clinton regarding soap advertising that violated women's rights, which raised a big public scandal.
With age, her beliefs only strengthened. Currently, the Duchess is active in public life, fighting for women's equality, taking part in the UN Women program and the HeForShe project, and is an ambassador for charitable foundations.
Despite numerous comments about plastic surgery and discussions about the naturalness of her beauty, Megan remains a true style icon for many Englishmen.

Hollywood smile
Children's photos of the English princess available online clearly show: Meghan's straight teeth and dazzling smile are most likely the result of wearing braces for a long time in adolescence and regular professional whitening. Whether this is true or not, now Prince Harry’s wife can safely smile and not be afraid of close-up photographs.
The difference between Meghan Markle's childish and adult smile is obvious
However, such changes, of course, cannot be considered plastic intervention - the woman corrected the condition of her teeth in time and maintains their health.
Title relinquishment
At the beginning of 2022, the public was agitated by another scandal that occurred in the royal family. The married couple Harry and Meghan have officially renounced the title of senior members of the crowned family.
After the couple resigned, the spouses refused funding from the British treasury, as well as the provision of security. After such a loud statement, Harry and Meghan went to Canada. Then Prince Harry, as well as his immediate family, were invited by Elizabeth II to a family council.
In February 2022, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the prince and his wife had finally renounced their duties as members of the British royal family, but would retain their titles. At first, the couple settled in Canada, but later it became known that the couple purchased a house in Los Angeles.
Then it became known that the duchess planned to work. Markle was invited to participate in the program I Do, Redo. In the reality show about weddings, the star got the role of Jessica Mulroney's partner, a wedding stylist. According to the script, the reality involves 10 couples whose first wedding did not go well. Men and women talked about the fiasco and shared ideas for a new celebration. And Megan and Jessica, together with the creators of the program, helped make the dream come true.
Pigmentation
Last but not least, the obvious pigmentation of the skin in the décolleté and neck area of the Duchess of Sussex catches the eye. But if you pay attention to photographs of Markle when she was an American actress, it is easy to notice large, perky freckles all over her face. Many believe that Meghan's clearer, more radiant complexion resulted from professional skin bleaching and constant use of powerful peels. The Duchess successfully hides residual pigmentation using branded foundations and high-quality makeup.
Over time, the bright pigmentation of Meghan Markle's face seemed to dissolve
The beginning of a creative journey
In 2003, Megan works at the US Embassy in public affairs. Megan's friend suggested that the girl audition for the series, the filming was successful, and Rachel made her film debut. The girl managed to combine her activities as an actress with modeling.
Rachel did not succeed in becoming an artist right away. There was a series of episodic roles in TV series. The girl participated in various television shows as a model. In 2002, she had her first role in the film General Hospital.
Expression wrinkles and face lift
Meghan Markle, who recently celebrated her 38th birthday, can be proud of her tight, smooth skin without any noticeable facial wrinkles. Perhaps this is where the ethnic origin of the Duchess comes into play: research has shown that the skin of African Americans is more elastic and less prone to dehydration, irregularities and the formation of wrinkles. But still, many believe: Megan’s smooth face and tightened skin are the result of the work of professional cosmetologists and plastic surgeons.
Healthy glow and color of the skin can be achieved through mesotherapy and biorevitalization sessions, and facial wrinkles of the forehead, the area between the eyebrows and nasolabial folds are effectively smoothed out with Botox injections. Fillers make the Duchess's lips slightly swollen, but with a clear border line. We must give Megan credit: she definitely doesn’t overuse injections, which is why she looks very natural and quite attractive for her age.
Meghan Markle
Megan is still at an age when, if she follows a healthy lifestyle, a facelift is not required - the oval is clearly defined, there is no excess volume or folds. Some attribute the Duchess to an upper eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), but if you look closely, the condition of Meghan Markle's eyes is not ideal. She obviously knows this, since she effectively compensates for shortcomings with successful makeup.
Meghan Markle before and after plastic surgery: duchesses do it too
One of the most resonant events of 2022 was the wedding of the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, Prince Harry. The chosen one of the representative of the dynasty turned out to be Hollywood actress Meghan Markle, whose personality is still being discussed. It is not surprising, because the girl has quite compromising roles in films, she is older than her husband and, on top of that, she was previously married. In addition, the newly minted duchess has African-American roots and is not at all aristocratic. The British crown has never seen anything like this!
Some say that this union has become a real disgrace for the royal family, others argue that such a marriage is dictated by the realities of the modern world. One thing is undeniable - the public’s close attention is focused on the former actress, and her external data is studied almost under a microscope. What about this girl made the heir to the throne go against tradition - an independent character or a non-trivial appearance? At 37 years old, Meghan Markle looks simply beautiful, but all information about her plastic surgery or cosmetic procedures is carefully hidden
. In addition, according to the rules of the royal family, she does not have an Instagram account, where she could also learn a lot of interesting things. Nevertheless, we have enough food for thought in the form of photos from different years. In this article, TecRussia.ru draws its own conclusions and reveals all the secrets of the appearance of Prince Harry’s wife.
↑ How did the actress become a duchess and what does plastic surgery have to do with it?
- Birthday: August 4, 1981
- Height: 171 cm. Weight: 61 kg
- Parameters: 94-64-87, bust size: 1
The celebrity's full name is Meghan Rachel Markle. She was born in the USA (Los Angeles, California). Her father, of Irish and Dutch blood, worked as a director of photography on television, thanks to which the little girl learned from childhood behind the scenes of film sets and met many famous artists. Her mother, of African-American descent, was a public worker, and later changed her occupation, retraining as a yoga instructor.

The fact that Megan was distinguished by determination, assertiveness and courage from an early age is evidenced by a very interesting story. At the age of 11, the girl directly approached the very first lady Hillary Clinton and wrote her a letter. Such a confident step was dictated by the child’s disagreement with a television advertisement in which an American woman was presented to the public as a housewife interested only in cleaning and cooking dinners. Oddly enough, the young feminist’s appeal was noticed, and soon the content of such videos was changed.
After graduating from school, the future duchess received a bachelor's degree from Northwestern California University simultaneously in two specialties - International Relations and Theater Arts. As a next step, she took up public relations at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires.

Megan's acting career began thanks to completely random events. A friend invited her to audition for the company in her free time. Despite the fact that the role of nurse Jill in the series “General Hospital” was episodic and contained only a few lines, the filming became a real impetus for the girl’s development as an actress.
Over the following years, Markle starred in a number of serial and full-length films in leading and episodic roles, and also combined her acting career with work as a fashion model. It was then that she began to actively work on her own appearance
, including having a nose job and experimenting with lip augmentation. Viewers paid attention to the beautiful and talented girl in the films “City of the Future”, “More Than Love”, “CSI”, “When Sparks Fly”, “Remember Me”, “How to Find a Husband” and many others. And her greatest popularity was brought to her by filming the series “Force Majeure,” in which the actress played one of the main roles during 2011-2018.
Among other things, some of Megan's roles included rather explicit sex scenes. And many adherents of tradition believe that such a past of the prince’s wife casts a shadow on the crown and the entire royal court. In justification, the girl states that after announcing her engagement to the Crown Prince, she immediately ended her career as a film actress and began a completely new life.
In addition to her acting and modeling career, Megan has always had an active public position. Advocating for the development of healthcare, education and improving the quality of nutrition for children around the world, the girl became an ambassador for the charitable foundation World Vision Canada and UN Women. Championing gender equality, Markle attended the organization's conference on International Women's Day in 2015. Today the Duchess is actively involved in charity work.
↑ Personal life: the tale of a modern Cinderella
An unprecedented fact in the history of royal marriages was the fact that Prince Harry’s wife was previously married. The young actress met her first husband in 2004. The girl's chosen one was the famous producer and film director Trevor Engelson. Despite an almost ideal relationship, the wedding happened only 7 years later. But the marriage itself did not last long and the celebrities soon divorced. The official version of the breakup was the impossibility of having a full-fledged family, since her husband lived in Los Angeles all the time, and Megan could not leave Toronto due to filming Suits.

Some time after her divorce from Engelson, Markle had an affair with a popular Irish golfer. The actress's lover was Rory McIlroy, who at that time was in the ranking of the highest paid celebrities under thirty. However, their relationship never developed into marriage, and the couple soon broke up.

In 2014, Megan met celebrity chef Corey Vitiello. Those who knew this couple well claim that the girl was truly in love only with him. The serious relationship lasted almost 2 years, but in the end the future duchess decided to end it - this time precisely for the sake of the heir to the throne, Prince Harry.

The fateful meeting happened in 2016. The couple was brought together by a close friend of both future spouses. The lovers' relationship remained a secret for a long time both for journalists and for the royal family: only in September 2022, Megan and Harry first appeared at a social event, but still not as a couple. And already in November their engagement took place, which only members of the dynasty knew about. By the way, the groom himself worked on the design of the ring, and some of the diamonds that make up the overall composition of the ring were taken from the personal collection of his mother, Princess Diana.
| Marriage to the Prince: | |
The wedding of a British prince and an American actress has become the most discussed event of 2022. Despite the fact that many did not believe in the possibility of this union and argued that Meghan was not a match for a member of the royal dynasty, the wedding of the lovers took place on May 19 at St. George's Chapel in Windsor. Literally the whole world watched the celebration live. Why the crown agreed to such a controversial and scandalous union remains a mystery. Perhaps Queen Elizabeth II gave in to her grandson, allowing him to marry his beloved girl. Or maybe the monarch understands that along with the rapid development of the world, the classic royal family, which represents the standard of all British people, must change. Be that as it may, the marriage took place, and today the dynasty is expected to be replenished. Megan will soon give birth to a girl, who they plan to name Diana - in honor of her husband’s mother.
↑ What plastic surgeries did Meghan Markle undergo?
Fans of the actress and admirers of the royal family are conducting real investigations into the appearance of the scandalous duchess: some praise her “natural” beauty, others focus on the dramatic changes that affected the nose and lips of the queen’s daughter-in-law, as well as some other components of her image. Still others do not find Megan at all attractive and do not consider her worthy of such active discussion. Be that as it may, it makes sense to examine some changes in her appearance in more detail:
↑ Expressive look
Plastic surgeons claim that girls who want to look like Hollywood celebrities often want to make “eyes like Meghan Markle’s” - large, open, and of the correct almond shape. At the same time, the girl does not have any traces of blepharoplasty or changes in the shape of her eyes: here everything is “to blame” for her exceptionally good heredity. Moreover, in recent photographs, excess skin in this area is noticeable, and a small tightening would not hurt the Duchess, especially since her age is very suitable for this.
↑ European spout: miracles of genetics or plastic?
The celebrity's African-American mother gave her an expressive appearance and a large, wide nose with a characteristic ethnic shape. He didn’t bother the future duchess at all, but with the start of her acting career, Megan decided to bring herself into line with the Hollywood canons of beauty and turned to a surgeon. As a result of a very successful rhinoplasty, the bridge of her nose became thin and graceful, and the tip became sharp and not as massive as before.
↑ Freckles: can’t they be removed?
Megan's skin was naturally dotted with pigment spots. In old photographs they are clearly visible even through a layer of foundation. However, after entering the royal circle, the duchess radically changed her attitude towards this feature of hers. In the latest photos, the girl appears with aristocratic porcelain skin: it is obvious that she carefully “cleanses” all traces of freckles from her face - and hardly of her own free will, more like the need to please her new family. Most likely, for this purpose, the Duchess regularly does fairly deep peels and complements the effect with concealing cosmetics.
↑ Lack of wrinkles: good heredity or the work of cosmetologists?
Megan's smooth skin with a perfect tone has become the envy of many girls around the world. And this despite the fact that the Duchess is already approaching 40. At this age, no cream, mask or home care will help you completely get rid of facial wrinkles. But, judging by the photo, the folds on the girl’s face tend not to appear, but to disappear. This effect can be achieved only in one way - with the help of Botox injections, thanks to which the duchess's forehead and eyebrows remain perfectly smooth. Interestingly, in many photos from the beginning of 2019, where Markle is “deeply pregnant,” wrinkles appear again: this can be explained by the fact that during the gestation period she, like any reasonable mother, refused anti-aging injections so as not to endanger the health of the child.
In addition, it can be assumed that the Duchess uses hyaluronic fillers a little - to smooth out her nasolabial lips, emphasize her cheekbones and slightly plump her lips. But he does it very carefully: the effect seems to be noticeable, but no one would even think of claiming that it was “done” and accusing the duchess of disrespecting her high status. But the radiant skin of her face is the result of constant professional care, which definitely includes biorevitalization and, possibly, mesotherapy: without regular moisturizing with hyaluronic acid and spot correction of minor skin defects, it is simply impossible to achieve such smoothness and a bright healthy color.
↑ Sensual lips: was there plastic surgery?
By nature, Megan has a neat mouth with an expressive contour that is in harmony with her facial features. However, starting around 2012, it is clearly visible in the photo that the volume of her lips has increased. This, of course, is not what we see from “Instagram stars”, but still very similar to fillers - a little and neatly, we have already talked about this above. In addition, in some close-up photos you can see a slight bumpiness along the lower edge of the upper lip - this is a very characteristic effect after the injection of hyaluronic acid.
| Here you can clearly see the irregularities from the protruding filler: | |
In 2018-2019, due to pregnancy, Markle developed a characteristic swelling of her face, probably associated with fluid retention in the body - due to which the volume of her lips remained the same, although she probably temporarily refused injections
↑ Dazzling smile
There are many children’s photographs in the public domain in which the future celebrity has far from perfect teeth. The gap between the central incisors is especially striking. Here we must pay tribute to the girl’s parents, who at a young age took Megan to the dentist and installed braces to correct her bite. The girl worked further with her smile already at the stage of developing her acting career: she did not install veneers, but she slightly adjusted the shape and size of her teeth, and to maintain the “Hollywood” effect she does regular whitening.
↑ Slim figure: healthy lifestyle or liposuction?
There is also a lot of controversy surrounding Megan's physique. Not everyone likes her proportions: a rather wide back and chest, not very long legs with large feet. The only thing that does not raise questions is the fact that the girl has never been overweight. Many find negativity here too, calling the duchess “bony,” but let’s be honest: Meghan definitely manages to make the most of her not-so-best natural gifts. And after the start of her relationship with Harry, she lost even more weight, which is especially clearly visible in recent “pre-pregnancy” photos.
But the secret of such a transformation lies not in liposuction, as many believe, but in proper nutrition and an active lifestyle. In addition, the celebrity, like her mother, is fond of yoga, which also has a positive effect on the condition of the body. In theory, the Duchess could remove some fat from her abdomen and lower back using non-surgical techniques (for example, Vaser or lipolytics) to emphasize the curve of her waist, but there is no reason to definitely say this.
↑ Is it true that Meghan Markle had breast augmentation?
The differences in the size and shape of the Duchess of Sussex's bust in some photos are noticeable to the naked eye. Here you can find fault with the perfectly correct contour of the mammary glands and the too wide gap between them - usually these nuances directly indicate installed implants. But it is worth noting that all such photographs are clearly studio shots, staged and heavily retouched. And in everyday photos we see the same original size 1, which the Duchess sometimes tries to “encourage” with push-ups. Recently, her bust has grown, but due to pregnancy, and it seems that Meghan Markle still hasn’t had mammoplasty – although it is possible that she will return to this issue after childbirth and breastfeeding.
- Overall:
the exotic appearance of Prince Harry's wife is a skillful combination of natural abilities and the work of plastic surgeons. The Duchess, unlike most of the royal court, is open-minded about “beauty injections,” but has not yet considered any more radical procedures. She corrected the shape of her nose even before the wedding and receiving the title, but we do not have sufficient grounds to say that there were other operations. Will Megan be given the go-ahead for plastic surgery in the future, when she needs it for age reasons (and, for example, an eyelid lift wouldn’t hurt her now) – we’ll definitely see and find out!
Close to ideal figure
Comparing photographs of past years and today, one cannot help but notice: previously Meghan Markle was prone to “fat” in the waist and abdomen. Evil tongues claim that Megan could only lose weight to her current wasp waist thanks to liposuction. However, most likely, the duchess’s chiseled figure is the result of a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition and yoga. Given Markle’s already rather lean build, this is more than possible. Unless non-surgical lipolysis or minor plastic surgery of the lower back and hips made it possible to tighten the tummy and create an hourglass figure.

Let's not forget about the right wardrobe: the exceptional skill of the royal tailors will effectively hide any shortcomings and make obvious advantages - adjusting the proportions of the figure with the help of well-tailored clothes is not so difficult. Compare and draw conclusions.
Psychologists' opinion
According to psychologists, plastic surgery can help increase self-confidence if the patient has reasonable expectations. Based on the results of numerous studies, it has become clear that plastic surgery also helps improve psychological well-being and increase self-esteem.

People who are considered attractive by others are not actually happier than anyone else. But the perception of one's physical attractiveness has something to do with happiness. Although some psychologists are inclined to argue that the connection between beauty and self-confidence is connected to a greater extent with one’s own image.
Plastic surgery must have met Kochi's expectations if she became more confident in herself.
But this does not happen to all people. If the psychological impact after the operation is negative - for example, a person expects that the new appearance will turn his life into a fairy tale, which will not happen - then self-esteem may, on the contrary, decrease. Therefore, dear women, before turning to a plastic surgeon, get advice from a psychologist.
