She did a double major in theater and International Relations

The Duchess of Sussex received a bachelor's degree from Northwestern University, where she completed not one, but two majors. "I knew I wanted to do acting, but I hated the idea of being this cliché—a girl from L.A. who decides to be an actress," she told Marie Claire.

"I wanted more than that, and I had always loved politics, so I ended up changing my major completely and double-majoring in theater and international relations.”

She did an intership in Argentina

During college, the 38-year-old royal did an internship in the American embassy in Buenos Aires. "It was their economic devaluation and our Secretary of the Treasury at the time, Paul O'Neill, was there, so I'm 20 years old, in Buenos Aires, in a motorcade, doing that whole thing," she shared with Marie Claire. "I thought for sure I would still have a career in politics.”
