Meghan Markle’s college best friend, Lindsey Roth, recently gave fans a rare glimpse into the Duchess’s playful side by sharing previously unseen photographs that capture Meghan in lighthearted and theatrical poses. In the black-and-white, retro-style snapshots, Meghan, now 44, can be seen hugging Lindsey, striking a series of fun and carefree stances, and radiating a youthful energy that feels entirely genuine. The images, taken in classic photo booths, showcase a side of Meghan rarely seen by the public—a mix of whimsy, warmth, and a touch of mischief.
Accompanying the photos, Lindsey, who is now a television producer and author, wrote a touching note about the enduring nature of their friendship: “Friendship is when we help each other.” She elaborated on how their bond has stood the test of time and distance: “… I fly across the world to be a guest on Meg’s TV show, spending more hours in the air than on the ground; Meg supports my new book Romance and Practicality, as we both help each other chase our dreams (launching these projects just weeks apart!), something we’ve been doing since college. Celebrating together on TV and in real life (thank you also for embracing my pajama celebration tradition); and of course, never passing up a photo booth,” Lindsey wrote. Her words hint that Meghan invited her to participate in her Christmas special, blending personal friendship with professional collaboration.
The roots of their bond go back decades. The two met during their freshman year at Northwestern University while attending a literature class focused on Toni Morrison’s works. Their friendship deepened over the years, and Meghan even served as a bridesmaid at Lindsey’s wedding in 2016. Despite Meghan’s rise to international fame, the duo has maintained a close and supportive relationship.
As Meghan pursued her acting career, eventually achieving her breakout role in the hit legal drama Suits, Lindsey also explored the entertainment industry, appearing as an extra in films such as Mona Lisa Smile alongside Julia Roberts and Kirsten Dunst. Over time, Lindsey shifted her focus to producing television series, carving out her own professional path while remaining closely connected to Meghan.
The shared memories and milestones highlighted in Lindsey’s post underscore not only the depth of their friendship but also Meghan’s playful, approachable personality. These newly released photos serve as a reminder that behind the public persona of a Duchess is a woman who values long-lasting friendships, cherishes fun moments, and carries the spirit of her younger years with her—even amidst the pressures of royal life. 😊📸✨
