Meghan, Duchess of Sussex

Before marrying Prince Harry, 42-year-old Meghan Markle was an actress with her most famous role coming in legal drama ‘Suits’. The Duchess of Sussex was plagued with anxieties about her looks and how her perceived beauty, or lack of looks, would affect her career. In an essay penned for Darling magazine, she said: "I was in my early 20s, still figuring so much out, and trying to find my value in an industry that judges you on everything that you're not versus everything that you are. "Not thin enough, not pretty enough, not ethnic enough’, while also being ‘too thin, too ethnic, too pretty the very next day'.”
