Meghan Markle’s High School Memories: Mary’s Day Photo
Immaculate Heart High School & Middle School in Los Angeles recently shared a previously unseen photograph of Meghan Markle from her teenage years, participating in the school’s annual Mary’s Day celebration. The image features a young Meghan standing beside a statue of the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus, commemorating the cherished tradition of honoring the Blessed Mother.
The school posted the photo on their Instagram account to congratulate Meghan, an alumna from the class of 1999, on the renewal of her Netflix series and the launch of her new podcast. The caption read: “Congratulations to IH alumna Meghan Markle (’99) on the renewal of her Netflix series and launch of her new podcast! We’re delighted to share a special throwback photo from her time at Immaculate Heart, honoring our cherished tradition of Mary’s Day, a celebration of our school’s patroness, the Blessed Virgin Mary.”
Meghan, who attended Immaculate Heart from ages 12 to 17, has maintained a close relationship with her alma mater. She expressed her joy upon seeing the throwback photo, sharing it on her Instagram story with the caption: “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!”
In 2020, Meghan addressed the graduating class of Immaculate Heart in a virtual commencement speech, reflecting on her time at the school and offering words of encouragement to the students. She has often credited her education at Immaculate Heart for instilling in her a sense of social justice and compassion.
The release of this nostalgic photo has delighted fans and alumni alike, offering a glimpse into Meghan’s formative years and her enduring connection to the traditions of her high school.
