Now that Meghan Markle has reportedly moved to L.A and secured her first Hollywood gig since leaving the U.K., it’s time for her to get back to another one of her passions: writing.
Markle is jumping headfirst into her new life now that she and Prince Harry have stepped down as senior working royals. According to Us Weekly, the duchess is planning her second cookbook and considering relaunching her lifestyle blog, The Tig, which was shut down when things became serious with Harry. Her first cookbook, Together: Our Community Cookbook, which she co-wrote with The Hubb Community Kitchen, came out in 2018.
“Meghan has heaps of projects in the works,” the source told the publication, including plenty of philanthropic work.
Back in 2019, Markle renewed the trademark for The Tig, sparking rumors that she was relaunching the site, described as a “hub for the discerning palate—those with a hunger for food, travel, fashion, and beauty.” Alas, at the time, a spokesperson revealed that “the lasting trademark is to prevent false branding [and] to avoid others purporting to be the duchess or affiliated with her.”
But now fans of the blog have hope once again. Interestingly, Markle once wrote about both her childhood dreams of becoming a princess and Kate Middleton on The Tig, long before meeting her future husband. “Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power,” she wrote in 2014. “And grown women seem to retain this childhood fantasy. Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding and endless conversation about Princess Kate.”
I’m glad Meghan Markle is getting back to doing what she really loves with her family by her side. And if she does relaunch The Tig, I bet the site traffic will be through the roof.
