Many individuals globally embrace the beginning of a new year as an opportunity for a fresh start, setting their New Year’s resolutions on January 1 to guide them through the upcoming year. Meghan Markle once shared her practice of setting goals for the new year, acknowledging her struggle to adhere to them. The Duchess of Sussex disclosed this on her blog, The Tig, in January 2016, just before meeting her future husband, Prince Harry, mentioning certain habits she wished to abandon as “unladylike.”
Among her resolutions were running a marathon, ceasing nail-biting, refraining from swearing, and relearning French, which she admitted to including on her list almost every year without complete success. Meghan recounted her challenges with each goal, citing reasons such as work stress and language immersion experiences hindering her progress.
Opting for a different approach the following year, Meghan opted out of making resolutions to avoid disappointment. Instead, she aimed to approach life with a playful attitude, emphasizing the importance of laughter, enjoyment, high standards, self-acceptance, and staying open to change.
Recently, Meghan detailed her plans for New Year’s Eve in California alongside Prince Harry and their children, Archie and Lilibet. They intended to have a relaxed evening at home, celebrating the occasion with champagne and her personalized product, Flower Sprinkles, in lieu of traditional confetti. She extended warm wishes to her readers for a year filled with good company, memorable moments, and numerous reasons to celebrate.
Signing off her festive message with a touch of British charm, Meghan concluded with “Cheers, dears!” as she shared her hopes for a joyous and fulfilling year ahead for everyone.
