Meghan Markle has shared an unseen throwback snap of herself as a fresh-faced student in 1999
Her old high school also shared the photo, alongside a gushing message congratulating Prince Harry’s wife on ‘the renewal of her Netflix series and launch of her new podcast’.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, was a pupil at the all-girls Roman Catholic Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles, graduating in 1999.
In the image, a smiling, teenaged Meghan is stood in front a statue of the Virgin Mary.
Wearing a white sundress with a beige cardigan, she has her hair loose beneath a thin, gold headband and is clapping her hands.
Sharing the photo to her Instagram account, Meghan said she had the ‘biggest smile on her face’, after being sent the image by a ‘dear friend’.
‘When your dear friend from middle school/high school sends you something from your Alma mater and it brings the biggest smile to your face. Go Pandas,’ she captioned the post, tagging her old school.
And appearing to give a nod to her friend, she added: ‘Thanks Sush xo.’
Her cheery post comes as her husband Prince Harry’s visa files were finally unveiled after a two-year court battle.
Claims that Prince Harry received special treatment when he emigrated to the United States are false, the Trump administration said on Tuesday.
A lawyer from the Department of Homeland Security said that Harry’s application followed all the ‘applicable rules and regulations’. However, despite a judge vowing to release as much material as possible, Harry’s actual immigration file has remained private.
The statement was made in heavily redacted documents that were made public on Tuesday after a lawsuit by the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank, which was seeking to prove that Harry lied about his drug use on his visa papers.
Meanwhile, the post by her old school received 1,000 likes in less than three hours, and was captioned: ‘Congratulations to IH alumna Meghan Markle (’99) on the renewal of her Netflix series and launch of her new podcast!
‘We’re delighted to share a special throwback photo from her time at Immaculate Heart, honoring our cherished tradition of Mary’s Day, a reflection of our legacy of sisterhood, support, and Panda spirit.
‘As we begin preparations for this year’s Mary’s Day celebration, we proudly carry forward the traditions that make our school community so special!’
According to Immaculate Heart High School’s website, Mary’s Day sees the whole school come together to celebrate their ‘patron, Mary, with prayerful reflection, joyful performances, and a communal potluck lunch.’
Since graduating from high school in 1999, Meghan appears to have maintained a good relationship with Immaculate High.
