Meghan Markle Shares Rare Photo on Instagram and We're Getting Serious Rom Com Vibes

Meghan Markle has a lot of exciting new projects lined up for 2025—new Instagram accounts (@meghan and @asever), a new Netflix show and a new podcast, to name a few. But amid all the newness, she took a moment to share a rare throwback with her followers.

On Instagram, the With Love, Meghan star, 43, posted a throwback photo sent to her by a friend. In the picture, a young grade-school aged Meghan is smiling beside a photo of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Meghan captioned the snapshot, “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,” adding, “Thanks Sush xo.”

While the post was heartwarming and personal, what really stood out to me (and probably many other '90s kids) was just how rom-com the whole vibe was. I’m talking major ‘90s rom-com energy—think Clueless or Never Been Kissed.

It makes perfect sense, considering Meghan graduated in 1999, but that photo definitely screams nostalgia, especially for millennials. From the halo headband to the cardigan over the extra-long shirt (no crop tops in sight), it’s clear that even back then, Meghan had that signature it factor. And it seems like the internet agrees.

“Meghan has always been That Girl,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “Always been a great role model,” while a third chimed in with, “She is THE MOMENT.”
