As a child, she accompanied her father on the sets of the show “Married with Children.” She feels her appreciation and fascination for food have come from her time spent on the set. She said in an interview with Best Health magazine: “After being there every day after school for 10 years and seeing the appreciation of food, I started to learn the association between food and happiness and being able to entertain — I think that’s where the seed was planted.”

To pay bills in her early days of acting, Markle took up freelance calligraphy jobs for which she wrote some of Dolce & Gabbana’s celebrity correspondence and restaurant invitations.
"I used to be a calligrapher for weddings and events – that was my side job while I was auditioning," she shared in an interview with Good Housekeeping, adding "I think handwritten notes are a lost art form. When I booked my first [TV] pilot, my dad wrote me a letter that I still have. The idea of someone taking the time to put pen to paper is really special."

She was a counselor for the international charity One Young World. At one of their events, she said: “Across the board, a lot of the decision makers are men. We need men to stand up and empower women. At the end of the day, I think what scares people is the idea that female empowerment is threatening. No, it’s not. You empower the women, you’re empowering the community.”

Markle has a weakness for French fries and pasta and her talents include cooking. Her go-to British dish is roast chicken, which she likes bringing to dinner parties.
In an interview with Best Health magazine, she said: “I love carbs — who doesn’t love a carbohydrate? But of course, when I’m filming, I’m conscious of what I eat. I try to eat vegan during the week and then have a little bit more flexibility with what I dig into on the weekends.”
