Before they became household names (and one became royalty), Katharine McPhee and Meghan Markle were wide-eyed theater kids acting together in musicals.

McPhee shared an adorable throwback pic of the pair on Instagram on Thursday, joking that she and the Duchess of Sussex have had the same journey to stardom since their days doing musicals as children.

She grew up to be the Duchess of Sussex and I grew up to star on the West End, so same life if you ask me, McPhee joked.
