  1. > “We hosted a little camp because winter break was long!” she says with a laugh. “We had several days with different families at our home, and we were able to get to know the parents better, and all the kids could play.” Meghan and Harry set up obstacle courses and face painting. “It’s a dream,” she says. “But I also know that being part of a community means you put effort into it.”

    This is a really cute story. Everyone says they want a village but not everyone puts in the work to create one

  3. > Also launching this spring: her new podcast with Lemonada Media.

    Smart that she’s managed to keep this on the DL until it’s done. Curious to see what she’ll be podcasting about

  4. I find it refreshing that she talks about the mistakes made with her brand and the issues she’s had with trademarks.

  5. This is a PR masterclass. Well done, Meghan. She and Harry seem so happy together. (Sad to see photos of old man dog Guy! RIP little buddy.)

    ETA: Don’t know why I’m getting downvoted. Being good at PR is part of being a celebrity or public figure.

  6. Tough times in the USA to launch something like this. Timing never seems work well for her, tbh.

  7. The cover photo did Meghan so dirty, damn. I get that they were going for sort of golden hour soft light but they have photoshopped her face LITERALLY gold. Meghan is very photogenic so it shouldn’t be hard to get a good photo of her. She looks like a statue of herself.

  10. This was a great interview! I’m loving her being back on IG and the little glimpses into life we get.

  11. Ah People Magazine. The last bastion of wholly uncritical celebrity fluffing.

  12. I’m sorry, but People picked the worst picture for the cover.

  13. All the comments about her wanting privacy are ridiculous! She didn’t want to disappear from view – she simply wanted the British media to stop hounding them and every single move they made. There’s a difference between choosing to show some parts of your life where you’re in control and being hounded and hunted to get every tiny detail of their lives plastered on a newspaper with a nasty headline! I’m glad she’s showing this side of herself, I’ve always admired her and Harry!

  14. “I like being able to do a hybrid,” she says. Chinese food delivery is a favorite, “but even when I get takeout, I will try to plate it beautifully,” says Meghan.

    Totally, same, very relatable, I say, as I shovel lo mein directly from a takeout container into my face.

  17. Love the pics with Guy. It feels like Meghan got a bit lost with all the big changes she experienced since marrying Harry and now she is more settled and going back to what she loves and who she truly is. 

  18. Ugh I just love her. This is a great interview!

  19. >As anticipation grew, questions arose about when the products would be available, while behind the scenes, she navigated trademark issues.

    >“There are tons of twists and turns — even with the name,” she says in her most intimate interview in years. “I was figuring it out in real time.” 

    >And although she has faced intense public scrutiny at every step, Meghan says the experience has been defined by growth. “**I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out and also to be forgiving with myself through that. It’s a learning curve**,” she says.

    A gentle rebuke to the watching public. I love it.

  20. The Tig, a blog on food, travel, and wellness, *years ahead of the influencer boom.*

    That’s a massive stretch given the blogging boom was years before that.

  21. I’m sure people will be totally calm and rational about this, especially the disingenuous “i ThOuGhT sHe WaNtEd PrIvAcY” camp 🙃

  23. Is this serious?? People magazine interview?!!! Is this the best wme could get for her like she should be doing vogue, elle, harper’s bazaar etc. her team is so bad at repping her omg. Or is the offers not coming her way considering how US media has turned against her?

  24. Who is producing the jam?? Where is the jam?? Are the jars made and waiting for release with a sell by date slowly ticking down or is she yet to actually make jam en masse!? Why do I care?

  25. “People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box,” Kaling, 45, says, which spurs Meghan to correct the “Mindy Project” star, according to People.

    “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying ‘Meghan Markle,’” Meghan tells Kaling. “You know I’m Sussex now.”

    This part is not there in people article right ?

  26. Yawn. I was so excited when Meghan joined the royal family. It felt like she would be a breath of fresh air, but everything she does seems so performative and inauthentic. I couldn’t even make it thru this article. I’ll be extremely surprised if her new show and brand are successful. I don’t think enough people will find her compelling enough to watch or follow along with.
