Meghan Markle’s Royal Revelations: A Look Back at Her 2014 Blog Post

A recently resurfaced blog post from Meghan Markle's former lifestyle site, The Tig, is stirring up conversations about her pre-royal views on princesses.

Written in 2014, while she was starring in the hit TV series “Suits,” this candid entry reveals that Meghan had aspirations that diverged sharply from the traditional fairy tale narrative.

Instead of dreaming of being a princess like many young girls, Meghan envisioned herself as a “royal rebel.”

In her blog, Meghan reminisced about the elaborate royal weddings and the endless chatter surrounding Princess Kate's 2011 nuptials.

This reflection comes despite her previous claims that she knew very little about the British royal family before meeting Prince Harry.

In his memoir, “Spare,” Harry stated that Meghan was largely oblivious to his family and had never even googled them prior to their romance.

As a child, Meghan was drawn to strong female figures rather than the classic princess archetype.

“Little girls dream of being princesses,” she wrote, “but I for one, was all about She-Ra, princess of power.” For those unfamiliar, She-Ra is a character from an iconic 80s cartoon known for her strength and independence—far removed from the image of Cinderella.

Meghan also pointed out that many adult women seem to cling to their childhood dreams of royalty.

She took a jab at the public's fascination with royal weddings, noting how the spectacle around William and Kate's wedding captivated so many.

“Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding,” she remarked, highlighting the societal obsession with royal affairs.

This resurfacing of Meghan's blog post raises questions about her assertions regarding her knowledge of the monarchy prior to her relationship with Harry.

In May 2016, when Harry visited Toronto for the Invictus Games, Meghan was living there.

It's hard to believe she missed the extensive media coverage surrounding his visit, especially since her friend Ben Mulroney attended the related events.

If Meghan truly met Harry for the first time in July 2016, it seems implausible that she wouldn't have been aware of him following his highly publicized trip to Canada.

The news coverage would have made it difficult for her to remain completely uninformed about the prince and his royal duties.

Meanwhile, Harry's revelations in his memoir have reportedly left Prince William stunned, particularly regarding the infamous Nazi costume incident from Halloween 2005.

Australian royal commentator Daniela Elsa suggests that William's shock might be tied to Kate, the Princess of Wales.

In a recent commentary for the New Zealand Herald, Elsa noted that while Harry and Meghan have painted Kate in a rather unflattering light, the implications of Harry's costume choice are far more serious.

The association of Kate with this controversial moment adds another layer of complexity to the royal family's dynamic.

The resurfacing of Meghan's blog and Harry's memoir highlight the ongoing scrutiny and fascination surrounding the couple.

As they continue to navigate their lives outside the royal spotlight, their past statements and actions remain subjects of intense public interest.

This exploration into Meghan's past sentiments and Harry's memoir reflects a broader narrative about identity, perception, and the challenges of life in the royal family.

As the story unfolds, it seems clear that the complexities of their experiences will keep them in the headlines for some time to come.
