Everyone can't stop talking about Meghan Markle, ever since she got engaged to the royal bachelor, Prince Harry of Whales. So what should we know about the future member of the royal family?

Meghan is American.

Rumors went around she is Canadian. However, Markle was born in Los Angeles. For the first time since 1937, an American will marry into the British royal family. This will give Americans just another reason to obsess over the royal family (me included).

She is an activist, promoting gender equality.

Markle worked with the United Nations to promote gender equality. She became an advocate for UN Women in 2014, and she wanted women more involved politically.

She was a regular, college girl, like you.

While earning her communications degree from Northwestern University, Markle was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

She was a calligrapher.

While she was auditioning for roles, Markle’s side job was a calligrapher for weddings and other events.

She’s biracial.

Markle’s mother is African American, while her father is Dutch-Irish. Her parents met on the set of a TV show.

Meghan is not her first name.

Markle’s full name is Rachel Meghan Markle. When she marries Prince Harry, will she have to use her legal first name?

She’s best known for her role in "Suits".

Markle plays Rachel Zane on the USA Network show, now in its seventh season. Over the course of the show, Zane struggles to make it into law school, becomes a lawyer and finds herself in a love triangle. Markle will depart from the show at the end of the season. Her character was written out of the show over a year ago by the writers in hopes that Markle’s real-life relationship with Prince Harry worked out (It definitely did).

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
