Meghan worked as a calligraphy teacher before becoming actor

Before stepping into the limelight as a future princess and prior to her role on the TV show, Suits, Meghan Markle used to work as a calligrapher.

Markle taught calligraphy, gift-wrapping and book-binding at the Paper Source store in Beverly Hills, US, from 20042005. “It was her part-time job as she was going through auditions. She taught calligraphy and hosted a group of customers and instructed them during a two-hour class on how to do calligraphy,” said Paper Source CEO, Winnie Park, quoted as saying by People.

Additionally, during her stint at Paper Source, she also worked as a freelance calligrapher, writing the invitations for American singer Robin Thicke and actor Paula Patton’s wedding in 2005.

Graphology shared a sample of the royal-to-be bride on their Twitter handle. Markle wrote about her love of handwritten notes on her former lifestyle blog, The Tig, “I think handwritten notes are a lost art form. When I booked my first [TV] pilot, my dad wrote me a letter that I still have. The idea of someone taking the time to put pen to paper is really special.”

Markle’s in-depth knowledge of what goes into creating wedding invitations is coming in handy as she prepares for her own royal wedding to Prince Harry in just two months.

On Thursday, the Kensington Palace announced that the royal wedding service would be held at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle in Windsor, UK on May 19. Around 600 guests will soon be handed out official invitations for the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Markle.

The invitations, made using American ink on English card and printed by Barnard and Westwood, also reveal the dress code for guests attending the wedding ceremony — uniform, morning coat or lounge suit, or day dress with a hat.
