Before meeting her now-husband, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle shared some personal insights and aspirations in a 2016 blog post on her site, “The Tig.” In her candid entry, Meghan touched upon habits she wished to change and resolutions she hoped to achieve.
Sharing her New Year’s resolutions with fans, Meghan wrote: “Run a marathon. Stop biting my nails. Stop swearing. Re-learn French. These make my New Year’s resolution list nearly (AKA actually every) single year. The marathon hasn’t happened. The swearing comes in lulls triggered by being overworked or feeling mighty cheeky after a couple of drinks.”
Reflecting on her language goals, Meghan added, “Then there’s the French – a language I studied through high school and then lost as I immersed myself in speaking Spanish with the Argentinians during my stint in Buenos Aires. I have put my little Rosetta Stone headset in my eager ears every year, resolving to do interviews en français, but much to my chagrin, it hasn’t stuck. And when it comes to the biting of the nails – well, it still happens with a turbulent flight or a stressful day. It’s unladylike. But then again, so is the swearing. Dammit.”
In a thoughtful conclusion, Meghan expressed a desire for simpler and more meaningful goals. She wrote, “For this new year, the only thing I aim to do is to approach life playfully. To laugh and enjoy, to keep my standards high but my level of self-acceptance higher. My New Year’s resolution is to leave room for magic. To make my plans, and be okay if they sometimes break. To set my goals, but to be open to change.”
Meghan’s reflections reveal a relatable struggle with maintaining resolutions and a poignant reminder to embrace life’s unpredictability with grace and humor. Her words, penned before her royal life began, continue to resonate as a testament to her ongoing journey of personal growth and self-acceptance.
