MEGHAN Markle is one of the most photographed women in the world, but recently unearthed snaps show she was no stranger to life in front of the lens even before she met Prince Harry.
Photos from pals tagging her old Twitter account give us a glimpse into the glamorous life she had before moving across the pond to join the Royal Family.

Although her @MeghanMarkle Twitter page was deleted in 2018 after it was announced she was to marry Harry, various tagged pictures of her still exist.
Many of the shots were from her A-list pals who had taken selfies with the former Suits actress at swanky events.
Judging from the lavish meals, stylish wardrobe and red carpet selfies, Meghan certainly enjoyed the high life while living and filming in Canada.
One of the shots dating back to 2013 shows her pouting over wine with screenwriter Tina Gordon, who worked on What Men Want, that was shared by Scandal actress Katie Lowes, 38.

A number of pictures have been tagged by Meghan’s co-star Rick Hoffman, including one of the actress cuddling up to him at dinner in Paris, and one of her wearing a strapless gown on a fancy staircase.
Rick, who played Louis Litt in the legal drama, also shared one of Meghan beaming with “work wife” Sarah Grafferty.
Meghan clearly has a lot of friends in high places, and was also pictured posing with actress Serinda Swan, who has started in Marvel’s Inhumans, by a sunset city skyline.

Meanwhile, Florida Gators’ quarterback Jeremy Jones shared an image of Meghan wearing skinny jeans by a board saying Rachael, in a nod to her on-screen character and also her real first name Rachel.
And Jeremy isn't the only sports star to share a picture of the stunning actress, with Irish rugby union player Kevin McLaughlin posting one of her in a white mini dress.
Even Haylie Duff, sister of Lizzie McGuire star Hilary, has uploaded a picture with Meghan, for a project they worked on together for her cookbook Real Girl's Kitchen.
It’s no surprise Meghan’s social media page runs like an iMDb list, as she was introduced to a host of powerful people, including the Clooneys, after befriending Soho House’s Markus Anderson in Canada.

Ahead of the Suits final episode airing in September 2018, her former co-star Patrick J Adams also shared a series of unseen snaps of the Duchess on set.
Captioning the first, which sees him posing in a Suit, he wrote: “This week the last episode of Suits will air and the nearly 10 year journey we’ve all been on together will finally be over.
“So it seems right to post some photos the next couple of days from the early days. This photo was from the first fitting I ever had for Mike Ross.”
One of the collection featured a snap of his former co-star Meghan posing with her script in a filtered snap which he simply captioned with her character’s initials RZ.

The 38-year-old actress left Suits in 2017 with her final episode airing just a month before she wed Prince Harry.
Meghan's co-stars were invited to her wedding at Windsor Castle, and some also made the guest list at her lavish baby shower in New York.
The former actress gave up her life in Toronto after she got engaged to Harry, where she had a host of A-list pals and enjoyed lavish private members clubs.
This included leaving behind a very girly three-bedroom, two bathroom pad in Toronto, which was eventually snapped up for $1.6 million (£953,289).
