Prince Harry’s fiancee Meghan Markle aims and fires powerful Glock gun in sensational photos
STEELY-eyed Meghan Markle points a handgun straight at the camera in amazing photos revealed by The Sun.
The royal bride-to-be, 36, struck the Dirty Harry-style pose training for TV roles.
The actress — given SAS training in case of a kidnap — posed with a powerful Glock 17 after learning how to use it for TV cop roles.
A source said: “She was a complete natural.
"The Royal Family really is getting an all-action princess. She’s incredibly well trained and prepared – just like her ex-Army husband.”
Meghan had attended the one-day firearms training session held at a gun club in British Columbia, Canada, in 2009.
The Glock she used is the world’s law-enforcement handgun of choice — getting its name by the 17 rounds it can fire.
Another source, who did not want to be named, told The Sun: “Meghan was keen to learn how to properly hold, fire, reload and move with a handgun.
“She learned quickly and did very well.
"There were only positive things to say about her.
"By the end of the session, she could easily pass as someone who has experience with handguns.”
Soon after she played junior FBI agent Amy Jessup in TV sci-fi show Fringe as well as cop Leah Montoya in CSI: Miami.
Two years later she shot to fame in Suits.
It emerged last week Meghan took part in an SAS mock-kidnap exercise - which included live gunfire - to prepare her for royal life.
