Markle’s hair has played a significant role throughout her life’s journey, embodying more than just a style statement. Her father, Thomas Markle, has shared touching anecdotes from her childhood, revealing the lengths he went to support her. Rising at dawn, he would spend hours helping Markle straighten her hair, ensuring it looked precisely as she desired before school.
This ritual was a labor of love for her father, who, despite his career as an Emmy award-winning lighting director, embraced the role of an amateur hairdresser following the end of his marriage to Markle’s mother. Markle’s relationship with her hair also intersects with her experiences of racism from an early age.
A particularly poignant memory shared by her father recounts a time when, during a cross-country trip, they were unable to find a salon willing to accommodate them due to racial prejudices. This early exposure to racism would mark the beginning of Markle’s journey toward embracing and defining her identity.
Markle’s evolution into the public figure we see today was significantly influenced by her time on “Deal Or No Deal,” where she adopted the glossy look that has become her trademark. Whenever Markle had to do her own hair, she styled it in a sleek bun. Her father fondly recalls Markle’s keen interest in the art of hair and makeup from a young age, nurtured by time spent on set and learning from professionals.
Reflecting on her childhood, Markle has spoken about the complexities of identity and the challenges of fitting into categories. She described that when she was younger, she had curly hair, a freckled face, and pale skin. Her appearance was due to being mixed race, which made it difficult for her to fit in.
Today, as a mother, Markle sees reflections of her own childhood in her son, Archie. A photo that was shared of her at the age of five, cozy in a black hoodie, bears a striking resemblance to Archie at the same age, illustrating the striking resemblance her son bears to her.

Known for its requirement of sheer courage, the sport involves competitors sliding headfirst down the world’s fastest ice track on a small sled. Prince Harry himself, who embraced the challenge, reached speeds of about 61.5 m/hour, demonstrating the spirit of Invictus: overcoming adversity through courage and determination.
Described as a death-defying event, skeleton racing requires individuals to slide at 100 mph down an icy track on a sled not much larger than a torso-sized oven tray.
