Immaculate Heart High School, Meghan Markle's alma mater, has shared a delightful throwback photo of the Duchess from her teenage years, highlighting the lasting impact the institution has had on her life. Located in Los Angeles, the school was Meghan's academic home from ages 12 to 17, shaping her formative years. The photo, taken around 1999, features a young Meghan standing next to a large statue of Mary and Jesus in a blooming garden, her hands clasped together, eyes closed, and a grin on her face.
Meghan Markle has often spoken about the profound influence Immaculate Heart High School had on her development. In 2022, she returned to the school's halls for an episode of her Archetypes podcast. Reflecting on her time there, she remarked:
"You've heard me talk about Immaculate Heart on the series before and the influence it's had on my life. And look I was there from ages…about 12 to 17, which are really formative years in your life – they certainly were for me." – Meghan Markle
The school has expressed pride in Meghan's accomplishments, including her Netflix series "With Love," which has been renewed for a second season. Additionally, they congratulated her on the launch of her new podcast. Immaculate Heart High School is proud of its graduate, Meghan Markle ('99), and all that she has achieved.
Meghan's connection to her high school remains strong. During her podcast visit, she fondly recalled her locker location and even made a surprise visit to some students during volleyball practice. She shared:
"I was happy to be back there, and it was also really fun – especially when I made a surprise visit and I popped into some of the young ladies in volleyball practice." – Meghan Markle
The throwback photo has not only delighted fans but also served as a reminder of the important role Immaculate Heart High School played in Meghan's life. The school continues to celebrate its notable alumna and her contributions to media and society.
