A throwback picture of Meghan Markle is thought to be an image she never wanted the world to see.

The image was released by her estranged family ahead of a 7NEWS Australia special. The image in question shows the former Suits star, 41, smiling while looking over shoulder at an unknown event.

The date of the throwback snap, which was shared on social media, was not revealed but she can be seen wearing a low-buttoned white collared shirt, while her hair was worn in a messy low bun. She appeared to have a napkin stuffed down her top in a bid to stop any slopping of the food dishes placed in front of her. The look divided users online as to whether it was a good idea or “lower class”.
