She may be gearing up for life as a royal but these sultry snaps of Meghan Markle show a different side of the bride-to-be.
Posing in a steamy shoot for a men’s magazine back in July 2013 – just a month before her divorce from first husband Trevor Engelson was finalised – Meghan is a world away from the prim and polished princess-in-waiting we see today.
Wearing little more than hot pants and a crop top, Prince Harry’s fiancée poses up a storm for the camera as she flips burgers on a rooftop set against the NYC skyline – at one point unbuttoning her shirt.
In the recently-unearthed clip, part of a feature for Men’s Health USA, Ms. Markle is described as ‘the ultimate guys’ girl’.

In another frame, the future duchess wears a black leather mini skirt, sheer blouse and white blazer.
The 32-year-old star, a year into her stint on hit legal drama Suits at the time of the shoot, split from movie producer Trevor Engelson earlier that year with their divorce being finalised that August.
Meghan’s childhood friend Ninaki Priddy said of the couple’s shock split:’There was an element of out of sight, out of mind for Meghan. The way Meghan handled it, Trevor definitely had the rug pulled out from under him. He was hurt.’
The couple had been married just 23 months.
The pictures come just two days before Meghan ties the knot with Prince Harry at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Amid claims a tearful Meghan will not have her father by her side as he recovers from heart surgery, the bride’s friends and family have been arriving in London over the past few days.
Wednesday saw the arrival of close friend Jessica Mulroney, whose three young children will be bridesmaids and page boys.
Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, also touched down in Kensington Palace yesterday, toting a large Burberry carrier ahead of her first meeting with the Queen.
The couple are expected to spend the night before their nuptials in separate luxury hotels in Windsor.
