Meghan Markle's royal wedding [1] to Prince Harry will be historic for many different reasons [2]. Aside from being an American, the Suits actress has also done something that is almost unheard of when it comes to royal brides: she graduated from college [3]. In fact, the only other royal bride who has received a college education [4] is her future sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. Looks like these two ladies already have something to bond over!
After graduating from a private Catholic school in LA, Meghan attended the Chicago campus of Northwestern University, which is based in Evanston, IL. Aside from earning a bachelor's degree with a double major in theater and international studies in 2003, she was also a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority [6] during her time in school. Shortly after her graduation, Meghan worked at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, before pursuing acting.
