Meghan Markle's New Year's Resolutions Are Probably Yours, Too
Every year so many of us come up with a list of things we want to improve in the new year: maybe it’s exercising more, eating better, or getting more involved in the community—but inevitably a resolution or two tends to pop up on the list year after year (the struggle is real!). But that’s normal. It’s so normal, in fact, that even future royal Meghan Markle can relate. The actress and soon-to-be wife of Prince Harry has two New Year’s resolutions that tend to stay on her list every year.
According to The Telegraph, Markle wrote about her goals for 2016 in a post for her blog, The Tig, which she shut down when her relationship with Prince Harry started getting serious. And the first two resolutions are pretty darn normal.
“Stop biting my nails. Stop swearing,” she wrote in a post on January 1, 2016. “Re-learn French,”
“These make my New Year’s resolution list nearly (AKA actually every) single year,” Markle went on to explain. “The swearing comes in lulls triggered by being overworked or feeling mighty cheeky after a couple drinks.” We hear you: Sometimes swearing is just so…satisfying.
“And when it comes to the biting of the nails—well, it still happens with a turbulent flight or a stressful day,” she said, “It’s unladylike. But then again, so is the swearing. Dammit.”
The whole nail-biting resolution at least should be pretty easy to keep now that Markle will have a royal team dedicated to her hair, makeup, and nails. She’ll never be without a good neutral-tone manicure—it’s a royal rule.
She does give herself some slack when it comes to actually cutting these two habits out of her life. “My nails will be fine, and if I toss out a four letter word once in a blue moon, well frankly I think it adds character,” she wrote.
Markle wrote this blog post before meeting Prince Harry in July of that year. And it seems her other goal for the year ahead might have just helped her in the romance department: “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.”
She sure found change—and probably not in a way she would’ve ever expected. Now she’s lunching with Queen Elizabeth II and spending Christmas with the royal family.
In 2018, her life is about to change even more on May 19, when she marries Prince Harry—and we can’t wait to see what that big day brings (#royalweddingdresswatch).
