Where the curtain rises, Meghan Markle’s heart follows

Meghan Markle has long demonstrated a peculiar fondness for Broadway, much like a true theater lover who knows the best seats in the house. Her first public foray into Broadway fandom was an evening spent in the hallowed theater seats of Hamilton, attended with friend Priyanka Chopra, where Markle seemed to be in raptures over the revolutionary production. Not content with mere admiration from the sidelines, she later ventured to London in 2018 to see Hamilton again, with Prince Harry, as if to ensure the West End got its due.
