British royal family news shows that game show girl Meghan Markle had a little run as an actress before ditching it all to marry a prince and declare herself a humanitarian and philanthrosit—maybe she’s still acting?
At any rate, she’s not the only royal to have appeared in front of the cameras. Prince William, Prince Charles, Sarah Ferguson and Queen Elizabeth have been bit by the acting bug at one time or another. None of them had the caliber of career that Meghan did, then again none of them had to act for a living.
Here are five times the royals acted their hearts out.
