Meghan Markle Opens Up About Her Brutally Honest Twenties

Hey there, friends! If you've ever thought Meghan Markle has it all figured out now, it's time for a little reality check. Back in the day, her life wasn't all sunshine and roses. In a heartfelt blog post on her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig, Meghan revealed that her twenties were nothing short of brutal. Let’s dive into this story and learn how she transformed her life into the remarkable journey it is today.

From Struggles to Strength: Meghan’s Journey

Before she became the Duchess of Sussex and walked down the aisle with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle was just like the rest of us—figuring things out as she went. In one of her raw and vulnerable posts on The Tig, she opened up about the struggles she faced in her twenties. The post, which was later deleted, gives us a glimpse into the challenges she overcame. Express shared this powerful post, shedding light on the person Meghan was before her royal transformation.

“It Takes Time”: Learning to Be Happy

“I am 33 years old today. And I am happy. And I say that so plainly because, well… it takes time,” Meghan wrote. She went on to explain how happiness doesn’t just magically appear—it’s a journey. “To be happy. To figure out how to be kind to yourself. To not just choose that happiness, but to feel it… My 20s were brutal — a constant battle with myself, judging my weight, my style, my desire to be as cool/as hip/as smart/as ‘whatever’ as everyone else.”

Think about it: how many of us can relate to that? The pressure to fit in, to look a certain way, to be someone we’re not—it’s something many of us have experienced. Meghan’s words resonate with so many people because they’re honest and relatable. It’s a reminder that even someone as accomplished as Meghan Markle has faced her own personal battles.

Accepting Herself: The Turning Point

Meghan also shared that as she matured, she realized something incredibly important: being herself was “enough.” This newfound self-acceptance led her to some incredible opportunities. In July 2016, just two years after writing this blog post, she met her future husband, Prince Harry, during a visit to London. Life certainly turned out well for her, didn’t it?

And let’s not forget, this isn’t the first time one of Meghan’s old blog posts has resurfaced. In another post, Meghan revealed that while she always dreamed of being a princess, she wasn’t your typical Disney fan. “Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power,” she wrote. “For those of you unfamiliar with the ’80s cartoon reference, She-Ra is the twin sister of He-Man, and a sword-wielding royal rebel known for her strength. We’re definitely not talking about Cinderella here.”
