Before she became the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle was just a girl getting a bucket of water dumped on her head by Rory McIlroy. Meghan, now 44, was nominated by McIlroy, now 36, to perform the viral ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in 2014, which she humbly accepted. "I thought it seemed fitting that the person who nominated me would be the one to dump the ice on me," Meghan said in a video at the time, which is when McIlroy, carrying a huge cooler of ice, revealed himself. McIlroy stood on a stepladder on a New York City rooftop and drenched Meghan as the Suits star reacted in shock.
