Do You Know Meghan Markle's Real Name?

Thanks to her highly anticipated wedding with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle is on everyone's lips right now. You already know about her acting career on Suits, the details of her wedding, and information on every last thing she's worn, but how much do you really know about her?
For starters, as Harper's Bazaar pointed out, we learned that her first name isn't actually Meghan—it's Rachel. Her full name is Rachel Meghan Markle, and she's been going by her middle name throughout her career. The royal family also has been referring to her as Ms. Meghan Markle, but her new royal title has not been confirmed yet. (Kate Middleton's is the Duchess of Cambridge.) The more you know! Scroll down to shop items she's worn since the engagement announcement.
