Meghan Markle might have taken over the world when she married Prince Harry. However, long before she became a part of Britain's royal family, the mother of two had a rather blossoming acting career in the film industry. From various web series, shows, and films like A Legal Mind, Dater's Handbook, When Sparks Fly, and more, the star ended up stealing the spotlight in many of her projects. 

Although the Duchess of Sussex may have been known for her role as Rachel Zane in Suits, the 42-year-old was once a part of a whole different Castle.

One year after her debut in Suits, Meghan Markle stunned audiences when she made a cameo in the detective series, Castle. The actress made an appearance in the show's fourth season in an episode titled, Once Upon A Crime. In the episode, she played the role of Charlotte Boyd, a Sleeping Beauty serial killer. She teamed up with the beloved duo of Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic to give fans a show that they would never forget. However, she was not the only famous cameo that surprised everyone.

Apart from Markle, Castle brought in various other popular stars like the late Chadwick Boseman, Erin Foster, and even Laura Prepon. However, none of them seemed to leave the same impact that the 42-year-old had. Although she may have taken a step back from the acting world after getting engaged to Prince Harry in 2017, it looks like the mother of two has made a comeback to the film world in a way that no one had seen coming.

In 2020, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shocked the world when they teamed up with Netflix to put out their bombshell docuseries, Harry & Meghan. Although the series had left fans divided between supporting the Sussex couple or the royal family, it did not stop them from moving ahead with more collaborations with the streaming giant. With the 42-year-old and her husband's production company, Archewell Productions, signing a deal with the media company, they seem to have a long list of upcoming projects.

Apart from The Heart of Invictus and plans for a live novel adaptation, the couple has kept their lips sealed about their plans. However, the CCO of Netflix ended up teasing fans with what Markle and the 39-year-old have in store for the year. While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not confirmed their plans yet, their projects could end up being pushed back with the 42-year-old and her husband being rather busy with the upcoming Invictus Games training.
