Happy Birthday Meghan Markle: Revisiting Her 10 Best Onscreen Roles As Duchess Of Sussex Turns 43

Tostitos (2009)

To begin with, Meghan’s acting career took off following her appearance in a Tostitos advertisement. This commercial is one of her most acclaimed roles to date, featuring her closely inspecting the chip ingredients and a man named Gary casually strolling around in shorts. Although it wasn’t actually her voice in the commercial, Meghan delivered an impressive performance as the Duchess of Sussex.

Deal or No Deal (2005)

The television reality game show titled “Deal or No Deal” featured Meghan Markle and Chrissy Teigen as briefcase models. One memorable moment is when Markle displayed her infectious enthusiasm upon discovering a mere $5 inside a case, which has since become legendary. The program was presided over by Howie Mandel.

When Sparks Fly (2014)

Meghan’s second-favorite movie on Hallmark Channel, titled “When Sparks Fly,” features her as Amy Peterson, a journalist living in Chicago. A sudden twist occurs when she’s sent back to her humble hometown to write a Fourth of July feature, leading her to rediscover the life and love she once abandoned. Upon returning, she learns that the man she had loved had gotten engaged to her former best friend. The remainder of the story revolves around how she navigates these fresh developments.

Remember Me (2010)

As a lifestyle aficionado, I’d like to share an intriguing tidbit: In one of my favorite films, ‘Remember Me,’ produced by none other than my ex-husband, Trevor Engelson, you can catch a glimpse of the remarkable Meghan Markle in a cameo role. In this scene, she engages in a lively chat with Tyler, played by the captivating Robert Pattinson, and his companion, Tate (portrayed by Aidan Hall). Her presence, though brief, adds an extra layer of charm to the film.

Beverly Hills 90210: The Reboot (2019)

As a devoted fan of the original ’90s Beverly Hills 90210, I was captivated by the reboot that brought Meghan Markle into the limelight with a steamy cameo appearance. Dressed in revealing noodle-strap dresses and caught passionately kissing in an SUV, her brief but bold portrayal is certain to leave a lasting impact on her acting journey.

Dysfunctional Friends (2012)

In this year’s self-produced film titled “Dysfunctional Friends,” Megan adopts a free-spirited and stylish aesthetic. Her character is a photographer who captures the fixation of a man on his masculinity. Although Stacey Dash, playing Lisa, takes center stage, Megan’s performance was well-received. If you’re interested in watching it, you can find it streaming on Amazon.

The League (2009)

In the 2009 film “The League,” Meghan Markle had a fleeting, approximately 56-second role as a woman who is picked up by Mark Duplass at a bar during his separation. Although her character remains nameless and doesn’t have many lines, she expresses discomfort with the term ‘divorcee,’ stating that it makes women seem older. Despite being easy to overlook, this small part significantly boosted her career trajectory.

The Dater’s Handbook (2016)

2016 saw Meghan Markle starring as the female lead in a Hallmark Channel romantic comedy, alongside Kristoffer Polaha and Jonathan Scarfe. The plot follows a woman attempting to redefine her romantic choices using a checklist, but ultimately learns that the man who truly loves her is the one who appreciates her for who she is. This film showcases one of Markle’s finest performances in a Hallmark Channel production.

Anti-Social (2015)

Instead of sticking to her traditional romantic comedy characters, Meghan Markle stepped out of her comfort zone and appeared in a crime drama. In this film, she plays a woman who is dating a street artist, often seen wearing hoodies, and exhibiting a slightly rebellious personality. This role undoubtedly ranks among her top 10 performances.

Random Encounters (2013)

In the 2013 romantic comedy film, Random Encounters, Meghan Markle portrayed a lively and supportive best friend. Although she was cast as a secondary character, her performance undeniably left an impression on her professional journey.

As a fan who has followed Meghan Markle’s career since her days as Rachel Zane on Suits, I must say that her journey to becoming the Duchess of Sussex is truly remarkable. Her top 10 performances throughout her career are nothing short of impressive, showcasing her talent and versatility. It’s hard to believe that this strong, independent woman once struggled to find roles that didn’t typecast her as a stereotypical pretty face. But Meghan persevered, and now she stands as an inspiration to millions around the world. Happy Birthday, Meghan! Here’s to many more years of success and happiness. #MeghanMarkle #DuchessOfSussex #CareerAchievements #HappyBirthdayMeghan
