Meghan Markle, 36, and Prince Harry, 33, have a lot in common, and have credited their love of charity work and giving back for their love.
Their romance is a far cry from that of university lovebirds Prince William, 35, and Kate Middleton, 36, who met at the tender age of 18.
Meghan and Harry, on the other hand, met much later in life, when Meghan had already developed a highly successful career for herself, and a net worth of £3.2 million.
Now an expert has told Express.co.uk that they expect Meghan Markle will make for a far different duchess to Kate.

Unlike shy and retiring Kate, who avoids public speaking for the most part, Meghan Markle is poised to take a vocal role.
The Suits actress showed her keenness to take centre stage when she made a speech at the Endeavour Awards.
Royal expert Kelly Lynch and managing editor of Dailybreak said said: “Meghan’s training as an actress allows for the kind of self confidence that took Kate a few years to build up.
“Mind you, Kate never willingly sought out the spotlight; she just happened to fall in love with a public figure.
“Meghan, on the other hand, grew up in Hollywood (her dad was a cinematographer) and works in an industry where your job is to stand out.”

Comfortable Meghan is happy at the centre of attention, meaning she will be well placed to push for the charitable agendas close to her heart.
“Meghan is perfectly capable of standing on her own, and we’ll likely see her attend events without Harry,” Kelly added.
Meghan’s pro-woman stance is likely to be at the forefront of her royal advocacy, the expert claims.
She said: “Meghan’s had practice in working with charities in her previous role as an actress; she was a strong advocate for both women’s health and youth leadership, and her involvement was apparent through the various essays she penned for publications like Elle UK and Time Magazine.

“I envision Meghan joining the conversation about gender equality alongside her friend, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and taking on patronages in the United Kingdom that she’s passionate about.
“You can tell that she and Prince Harry share an interest in building up the self esteem of young people and helping them to succeed as future leaders.”
Kate Middleton as a number of patronages which chime with her personal interests.
The history of art graduate supports the National Portrait Gallery and The Art Room. She also supports numerous children’s charities.

Meghan has already announced that Prince Harry is a supporter of the women’s rights movement.
Kelly said: “During a visit to Wales last month, a woman told Meghan how much she admired her for publicly defending women’s rights and feminism.
“Meghan told the woman that Prince Harry was a feminist, too, which I believe, given his compassion, reliability and kindness.”
Meghan wrote a piece for Time Magazine in March 8, 2017, highlighting the plight of girls in India whose menstrual cycles prevent them from attending school.
