Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

For a long while, it seemed that Meghan Markle was pretty much living the dream. Along with her own successful career, she’d met her very own Prince Charming and seemed ready to become a prominent figure within the royal family.

It seems all too soon that it’s gone completely awry, with both Meghan and Harry pulling away from the British Monarchy – and then going on to reveal all in their shocking Oprah interview. But what might shock you more than that is some of the revealing Instagram posts Meghan shared before she officially had to close her account down…

[prebid_top]

[prebid_middle]

It’s easy to forget that Meghan actually has a past as a model and growing actress, overshadowed by all the recent royal drama and that tell-all interview. And what’s more, she was very happy to share all her revealing snaps and poses on her Instagram before closing her account down. So did she delete these images off her own bat? Or did she need to remove certain images so they wouldn’t be associated with a member of the royal family? When you see a few of these, you’ll understand why…

She’s successful in her own right and has been a prolific campaigner and activist for gender equality and other big and important issues in the world which has led people to compare her to a young Princess Diana who was known for incredible compassion towards people suffering from AIDS and her work with charities around the globe. This is a point that will certainly hit home with Meghan’s husband, Harry, when he sees the compassionate personality traits his mother had evident in his wife, too.

[prebid_top]

Unlike Kate Middleton, she started her new life as a royal already used to the limelight. She’s used to paps following her around in order to get a snap of her and update the general public on her acting career. Nevertheless, even the famous actress couldn’t have prepared herself for being followed around by the British media. Even being used to publicity and attention, Meghan clearly didn’t expect to be the focus of British tabloids as much as she has been.

[prebid_middle]

If you didn’t know much about Meghan before Prince Harry, then her Instagram will give you a slight glimpse into her former life. As an actress, you would expect Meghan to be active on social media and be the source of gossip relating to her roles, her personal life and any general opportunity for a snap. So then being thrust into the limelight as a royal after a famous reputation already built was bound to result in more media attention – and more interest in her previous social media postings, of course.

Originally during the beginning of her budding relationship with the Prince, she hadn’t posted anything since the April before marrying Harry. But the photos there from years ago show a young woman living her life to the fullest, and showing what most young people and young actresses do to enjoy their life: relax in the sunshine, drink a refreshing beverage and share travel snaps!

[prebid_top]

[prebid_middle]

Like everyone else, Meghan likes to relax on holiday. This picture shows her soaking up the sun on holiday in Greece maybe promoting this brand of beer, who knows? Without a paid promotion tag, maybe she’s just taking it upon herself to promote her favourite holiday drink because it just tastes that good! Maybe it’s an inside joke, even. Either way, Meghan looks to be enjoying herself.

I’m not sure what the Queen would think about this picture but it’s been doing the rounds on the internet since it was rediscovered. It would be expected that since becoming a royal and having to give up a lot of personal freedom, people would want to find and share the type of content she used to post when she was free and single – and here’s such an example!

[prebid_middle]

It’s not exactly ‘Royal’ but who cares? You know what they say…if you’ve got it, flaunt it! And she has sure got it! Becoming a royal shouldn’t mean that you give up your personality and your personal quirks, shown with posts like this, but unfortunately that’s what it does mean for a lot of public figures, and especially within the British monarchy. In light of recent events, maybe Meghan will go back to posting stuff like this…

[prebid_bottom]

This picture was posted not too long before she first met her future husband – just look at those smouldering eyes! And if Harry himself saw this, it’s no surprise why he fell so easily for her… And it’s not really a celeb Instagram account if you don’t post a smouldering selfie or two!

[prebid_middle]

This selfie shows her amazing good looks and beautiful hair, unlike a lot of celebrities these days, she isn’t too posey and she just looks like a down to earth woman living a happy life. Her shout outs to her fashion and makeup crew give thanks where it’s due, and even with a team of stylists behind her, she still looks like herself and retains her personality in her looks. Meghan certainly has her own iconic style with her hair and makeup, and it’s good to see she hasn’t lost it.

[prebid_bottom]

And here she is, casually doing yoga on a rock looking out at the sea – we have got to admit, we are pretty darn jealous of her figure and view! Are you really a celebrity if you don’t do yoga? Are you really a celeb if you don’t do yoga in one of the most exotic and lush places in the world? And are you really a celeb if you then don’t post a picture where you look like perfection doing it?

[prebid_middle]

She pulls off some very impressive moves in this picture that makes me immediately want to hit the gym. She makes that move look so easy as well…no wonder she got so many likes on this photo! The caption certainly hits home in light of recent events, too. “I bend so I won’t break”. Meghan has certainly had her fair share of trying times in the past months, but the important point to remember is she still hasn’t broken – and hopefully yoga is helping her to stay relaxed, too!

I wish I looked this good right before bed….I imagine Meghan’s room at Kensington Palace looked a lot different to this one. But now that she and husband Harry have found more privacy, maybe she can return to more intimate bedroom and home photos like this one when spending time with her husband, baby Archie (and even baby girl on the way).

[prebid_middle]

Despite the caption, it’s still hard to believe she looks like this right before bed after a long day. Like a lot of Instagram posts, no doubt there was help from a little filter and makeup – but we can’t judge her for it because why the hell not? She looks amazing regardless of whether she’s going to bed or just woken up – and we’re sure Prince Harry agrees.

[prebid_bottom]

[prebid_top]

Here’s one that we don’t quite think the Queen would approve of… It’s a little bit tongue in cheek to be sure, but where’s the fun otherwise? It’s never easy have a public social media account that you want to show off your cheeky quirks, but then have to worry about parents or close family members seeing it… Still, it’s highly unlikely the Queen is scrolling through Instagram. Or maybe she is!

[prebid_middle]

And we don’t think Rachel Zane (or her father for that matter) would approve either – cheeky Meghan! Nevertheless this is the perfect example of Meghan’s personality shining through – and as the caption rightly says, they’re only pajamas after all (or should we say pyjamas for British spelling!). But I wouldn’t recommend checking out the site she bought them from, because the prices are a little… steep.

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

I wonder if she was promoting this business too with this cheeky snap? But who’s hand is Meghan’s, anyway? Are we looking for that sparkly engagement ring? No doubt Meghan got around to a lot of lush locations (when she was free to travel, anyway) and wasted no time showing off her gorgeous lifestyle. It’s strange to think that at this point she had no idea what was in store for her life as a royal…

[prebid_middle]

Meghan enjoying a tequila on holiday with friends in Ibiza last summer. This was not long after she’d met Prince Harry, I wonder if one of her friends in this picture was responsible for setting the love birds up? After all, it was revealed that they were set up by friends. No matter what else has happened in recent media, at least Meghan and Harry were set up at the right time and have found each other.

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

Here she is, up close and beautiful – showing why the Prince fell in love with this natural beauty! Her iconic eye makeup hasn’t gone anywhere, either, clearly as all her recent public appearances show her still looking as flawless as ever. Hopefully we can see a lot more shots in the coming months of Meghan smiling and looking happy as she deserves to be.

[prebid_middle]

Meghan wouldn’t even need to put a filter on her pictures, she looks amazing on all of them. No wonder Prince Harry fell in love with her! And she retains that beauty and glow through her pregnancy, too, and never has a hair out of place!

[prebid_bottom]

[prebid_top]

Another holiday pic to make us envious – Who wouldn’t want to be floating around in crystal-clear waters in Jamaica in December? I know I would! It seems that before her royal nuptials Meghan really was taking advantage of her opportunity to travel to far off places – and who could blame her? It feels so strange now seeing any sort of travel pic!

She quoted Charlie Chaplin in this photo as she laughs while her friends take this photo. How can we not be jealous of her life? In light of recent events, though, this caption may be even more poignant – a day without laughter is definitely a day wasted, and we hope that Meghan and Harry will have more days filled with smiles and laughter rather than hurt and upset.

[prebid_middle]

The life of Meghan Markle has certainly been an interesting one. No doubt young Meghan never dreamed that she would grow up to be a famous actress, a royal and bag herself the perfect Prince to boot. And with baby Archie and another baby on the way, here are some photos to take you through the life of Meghan Markle…

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

The early years:

[prebid_top]

Her father Thomas looking after her as a baby. Thomas Markle revealed to have not spoken to his daughter since her Royal wedding day, the huge televised event which saw her thrust into the British monarchy, tabloids and considerably more upsetting drama.

[prebid_middle]

Somehow we think this picture may cause some sadness, due to the troubles she appears to be having with her father currently! Along with Meghan’s other personal struggles, the situation with her dad is another source of heartbreak for her. In most recent revelations, Thomas has actually reacted to the Oprah interview, but maintains that hopefully they might reconcile one day.

[prebid_bottom]

[prebid_top]

Meghan with her mum as a toddler…how cute! She definitely hasn’t lost her cuteness, according to Prince Harry anyway! Meghan appears to have a happier and healthier relationship with her mother compared to her father, and Meghan’s mother was actually present at her royal wedding event.

[prebid_middle]

Meghan in her childhood bedroom, you can tell she was a care bears fan! Meghan’s mother has also worked as a yoga instructor so it’s no surprise Meghan wanted to show off her flexible yoga poses in that previous Instagram snap taken during her travels!

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

Those pig tails are enough to melt the heart of an ice queen – just look at that smile! And her bedroom decor looks like the perfect kid’s bedroom to me. Any kid can relate to Meghan’s perfect pigtails and her outfit choice – haven’t we all had a white polo as kids at some point?

[prebid_middle]

From humble beginnings to living in a Palace and trying to move away from the public eye with her own Prince and growing children – she sure has landed on her feet! No doubt the little girl in this picture would never have expected a future like the one she’s had.

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

The school years: 

[prebid_top]

Meghan on a field trip on a farm with her classmates – with what we can only describe as a questionable hair do. It seems she was quick to rid herself of the pig tails in favour of this one, and as long as she’s happy with it, why not! She certainly looks happy anyway. A throwback travel shot to the first of what will be many travel shots for the young woman!

[prebid_middle]

Meghan’s school photo prove that she wasn’t entirely the ultimate stunner growing up, but she’s definitely grown into a beautiful young lady! She looks taller than the rest here – maybe a precursor to her wanting all eyes on her in true actress close up fashion! And her smile is certainly a winner.

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

Here she is again, with a lovely hair do, and a cute smile – like butter wouldn’t melt! What a cutie! Her hair choices only seem to getting more interesting as the years go by – and at least we know she’ll eventually get the flawless side-part we’ve become so familiar with!

[prebid_middle]

Meghan wore her hair in big curls during her school days. Look at the volume…amazing! And that volume will only get bigger and longer! Her fashion choice isn’t too bad either – it’s a simple choice for a top but one which suits her perfectly! She probably never dreamed the amount of amazing outfits she’d be able to wear and afford when she grew up!

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

Here we have a slightly older pic of the Duchess herself, completely working those curls girl! We knew her hair would only get bigger and stronger picture by picture, and this just proves it! She looks like an entirely different person with more personality shining through now, and she definitely suits those big, luscious curls.

[prebid_middle]

She looks casual and relaxed in this shot, supported by her highly comfortable-looking outfit! We bet the other girls in this pic, too, never realised they were talking to future royalty and acting stardom! Up next, we have our Meghan looking fresh-faced in a summer dress – the lippy and curly hair are definitely a look…

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

Again, the background showing her humble beginnings, making us love her even more! A reminder that she was just a young woman (and still is) down to earth and making her way in the world. Those big curls have grown even more as she’s clearly a fan of growing her hair out now. In her makeup we can see more of the Meghan we know with the bold eye colour and bold lips.

[prebid_middle]

She was homecoming queen at her prom in 1998 – here we see her blossoming into a beauty! Her role of homecoming queen is no surprise at all, and maybe a foreshadowing of her future royal title (but she wasn’t to know!). Her dress is true Meghan iconic style – but she can pull off anything she wears, to be honest.

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

Of course she was crowned Prom Queen – with a smile like that, how could she not be! Even her school peers knew that she was destined to wear a crown and become royalty. That lucky man beside her probably didn’t even know what he had! Meghan’s hair has grown even longer and more lush in this shot, and more in keeping with the style we’re used to from her.

[prebid_middle]

And of course, she looks perfect in that crown! We’ve got to say, her prom dress is not one to be desired – but still working it girl. Of course fashions were different back then. And the lilac shade can definitely be reminiscent of a particular lilac dress showcased in The Crown worn by Princess Diana herself!

Her modelling years: 

[prebid_top]

It’s going to come as no surprise that Meghan has also had a successful modelling career on top of her acting accolades, and her royal status. With a face and figure like that, how could she not? Here’s Meghan modelling in a 2003 photoshoot. Although her hair was getting longer with every picture, here she’s favoured a shorter chop which was completely on trend at the time!

 

[prebid_middle]

We’ve got to admit – she looks better in school than she does on this dodgy ‘model’ pic – natural beauty all the way! That phone doesn’t look too nice to handle and it’s a little weird set against Meghan – and that outfit isn’t the most flattering, but hey, styles change and she still looks great!

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

Before she became an actress she did quite a bit of modelling, actually. At least here it’s great to see her natural freckles showing through, too, and not too covered up in thick makeup. While a lot of people might try to rush to cover their freckles, here’s a prime example of why you shouldn’t be so quick too! Freckles look great, and so does Meghan in this pic.

[prebid_middle]

She’s showing off her figure here for sure – I don’t think you’d get away with that in the palace Megs! Here we see thinner eyebrows and more choppy hair than we’re used to from her, but we all went through a stage of plucking our eyebrows to oblivion, didn’t we?

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

A more recent modelling photo of Meghan promoting her clothing range. Now this is the Meghan we’re used to! Her iconic flowing hair style, her thicker eyebrows and her gorgeous dark makeup. And surely Meghan is the only one who can pull off double stripes in an outfit without it looking too much?

[prebid_middle]

Here she is looking at her best, a natural beauty in her casual clothing! Even those shoes look great on her, and with naturally painted toe nail colour, too, this looks like the perfect casual summer outfit, perfectly modelled! You can clearly see here why Meghan is a woman with many talents.

[prebid_bottom]

The TV years: 

[prebid_top]

She was on Deal or no Deal between 2006 and 2007, did you know? No? It’s shocking, I know! It’s not surprising to learn she’s had a TV appearance or two, but did you ever think it would be Deal or No Deal? And she looks particularly excited about it, too. But no, she wasn’t on there as a contestant to win big cash – she actually worked on the show.

[prebid_middle]

Many may be shocked to discover Meghan appeared on Deal or No Deal back in the day – in a questionable orange dress! Though, to be fair, she still manages to pull the outfit off, and the colour isn’t TOO harsh on her! Fortunately, she didn’t have to wear this same dress every time she appeared on an episode, either. This appearance was before she went on to play Rachel in Suits – quite a change!

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

She played a party girl in 2011 film The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down. There’s no surprise that Meghan as a beautiful actress would have to go through a little shallow role playing before landing more in-depth characters like Rachel Zane in Suits! And this movie is a prime example of that following her stint as a Deal or No Deal model!

[prebid_middle]

Again, another pic we don’t think the Queen would approve of! But you do you girl! Hopefully the Queen hasn’t seen this movie – or maybe she has, and secretly loves it! But you can’t blame Meghan for the roles she’s had to play to build her acting career, and sometimes it takes a lot of bad to find the good.

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

Meghan as Rachel in Suits getting carried away with her boyfriend Mike – this was an iconic moment for all Suits fans! And it was considerably less squirmy if you watched this show (and their scenes) long before Meghan became a royal so that you didn’t have to feel too weird about it!

[prebid_top]

[prebid_middle]

If you’re reading this Queeny – look away now!! This is not what you want to see. Although we wouldn’t blame Her Majesty if she was a fan of Suits – it’s a great show, after all, which is about a lot more than simply Rachel and Mike getting it on in the filing room. Of course, a lot more interest was given to the show after Meghan became a royal.

Recent years: 

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

Meghan taking a dip on holiday in Mexico last year. So now we’re thankfully back to the gorgeous holiday and travel snaps instead of the awkward modelling pictures of the even more awkward intimate scenes (if you’re watching as the Queen, anyway…). He’s another reason to be jealous of Meghan based on that pool alone!

[prebid_top]

[prebid_middle]

I mean… nope, we’re not at all jealous of the crystal blue water or her incredible figure! The pool does look surprisingly small, though, so we can only assume there’s another gigantic one along with a villa hiding somewhere behind the camera! Either way, Meghan appears to be having a whale of a time!

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

It’s the post we all wait for: a celeb and their dog. And here’s Meghan and one of her doggies! Is there anything more satisfying than seeing a celeb cosy up with their adorable pups? Is she telling her dog to shush while she reads a new script? A new book? Character research? Tell us!

[prebid_top]

[prebid_middle]

She’s a yoga goddess…look at that figure. And that dog – too cute! Can we have one? Meghan is also a huge advocate for Adopt Don’t Shop when it comes to pets, so undoubtedly this pooch we see here is a rescue who she’s given a new home to. Well the doggy looks right at home! And it looks like she has a nice little drinks bar in the back, too!

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

We don’t think she would get away with posting a pic of this sort anymore. But it’s a shame because it’s both inspirational to work out, to travel and to also get into yoga! We all dream of being able to do a yoga pose like this, let’s be honest, even just in our cramped bedrooms – but to do this in a location like that is something else!

[prebid_middle]

Nevertheless it’s an impressive yoga pose she’s managed to hold there. And the view isn’t bad either. With her most recent pregnancy she might not be holding yoga poses like this anytime soon, but maybe she’ll get back to it after the birth of Harry and Meghan’s latest child.

[prebid_bottom]

Clearly very happy to meet the Obama when he was president in 2015. You can see the sheer joy in her eyes! She probably never dreamed that not only would she meet the US president, but also that one day she’d become part of the British monarchy, too. One is shocking enough, but both in a lifetime! Wowzers.

[prebid_top]

[prebid_middle]

Meghan met the President here when she was with Serena Williams at New York Fashion Week in 2015. So just to process it all – Meghan Markle plus Tennis legend plus US President Obama… not too shabby a day for Meghan really, was it? No wonder she wanted to post her grin of disbelief on Instagram! Now people probably react the same when meeting her.

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

Another celeb she was desperate to meet, another huge grin she couldn’t contain! It seems that all Meghan’s dreams were coming true. And Serena looks just as happy to be with Meghan, too. Who said you can never have two pretty best friends?

[prebid_middle]

Although, we’ve got to admit, she looks worse for ware in this picture – how many bevvys have you had there Megs?! Or maybe she just blinked at the camera at the wrong time! Or maybe even squinting against the bright light that is Serena Williams! Either way, have fun girls.

[prebid_bottom]

Charity work: 

Along with Meghan’s many talents and accomplishments, including her acting and modelling work (and as well as her super cool celebrity friends) let’s not forget that she’s actually done a lot of charity work in Africa with villagers. Meghan looks like such a radiant and positive presence with these people and looks to be enjoying her work as much as they appear to be enjoying having her around!

[prebid_top]

[prebid_middle]

She’s visited countries like Rwanda to help people affected by war and disease. Taking her royal duties seriously at this time of her career and responsibilities, Meghan made sure to travel where she was most needed and lend an ear and hand to those most in need, but this picture also shows that she was trying to make a difference even when her royal duties didn’t expect it of her.

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

Just another reason to envy/hate/love this Royal – not only has she got beauty but she’s also got a big heart! It does seem like she’s truly the full package, and it’s time to start envying Harry, too, by the looks of things! She even looks beautiful in a toned done outfit, casual hair and a simple pair of shades. Not too shabby, Meghan!

[prebid_middle]

This little boy probably wasn’t aware that he was hugging future Royalty! But that’s always been her charm, that she someone manages to appear still down to earth and very caring no matter how famous she has become. Visiting places in need is one thing, but sharing your time and care to hug and laugh with those in need makes a big difference!

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

Along with her own iconic selfies, it seems Meghan is a fan of the animal selfie, too! And this time she’s taken a step up from her previous snap of her dog, and here takes a selfie with a native gorilla! The gorilla obviously has no idea he’s in a snap with royalty and a famous actress, either! He’s probably used to the attention, just like Meghan.

[prebid_top]

[prebid_middle]

She’s brave to get that up and close with such a huge beast – but it seems nothing phases our Megs. We’re sure there were people behind the camera on hand should she get into any difficulty, but surely not with a face like that! And that applies to both Meghan and the gorilla – like butter wouldn’t melt!

[prebid_bottom]

Meghan’s Deleted Instagram Images

[prebid_top]

We wonder what Queeny would think about the photos above? Somehow we think she wouldn’t approve of all of them. But the Queen’s a woman after all, and no doubt she’ll know that all these snaps merely show the wealth of talent, beauty and kindness Meghan has to offer!

[prebid_middle]

Maybe not the half naked yoga pics, but hey, she has to keep in shape, right? While we originally thought that we might have to wave goodbye to ever seeing pictures like that again of Meghan, the recent information and actions of the Duke and Duchess might mean that they now have more freedom to share more snaps just like these ones…
