The world knows Meghan Markle as the Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry's wife, and for her incredible philanthropy work. Recently, Markle gave an in-depth interview with Oprah Winfrey about the difficulties of royal life and why she and her husband left it behind.
But before Markle married into the royal family, she was an actress most known for her role as Rachel Zane in Suits. Some of Markle's earliest acting roles go back to 2002 when she was a guest star on General Hospital but her filmography continued to grow as she won bigger roles over the years.
While there are no upcoming projects for Markle at the moment (per IMDb), fans of hers can go back and rewatch some of the titles that she's been in. From starring roles in TV movies to cameos in feature films, Markle has been in more than fans realize.

Remember Me (2010)
Remember Me is a romantic drama starring Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin.
