The New Year's Resolutions Meghan Markle Has Nearly Every Year

They're refreshingly normal - by Isabelle Truman
  • 31 Dec 2019

When it comes to new year's resolutions, even the Duchess of Sussex isn't immune to repeating the same goals year upon year.

On her now-shut down website The Tig, Meghan wrote of her aim to phase out a few "unladylike" habits, including to stop swearing and biting her nails.

"Run a marathon," Meghan wrote. "Stop biting my nails. Stop swearing. Re-learn French."

"These make my New Year's resolution list nearly (AKA actually every) single year," Meghan wrote in January 2016 (per the Daily Telegraph).

"The swearing comes in lulls triggered by being overworked or feeling mighty cheeky after a couple drinks."

"And when it comes to the biting of the nails - well, it still happens with a turbulent flight or a stressful day."

"It's unladylike. But then again, so is the swearing. Dammit."

At the end of the post, Meghan, who was just months away from meeting her future husband, Prince Harry, wrote, "For this new year, the only thing I aim to do is to approach life playfully."

"To laugh and enjoy, to keep my standards high but my level of self-acceptance higher. My New Year's resolution is to leave room for magic."

"To make my plans, and be okay if they sometimes break. To set my goals, but to be open to change."

Change is exactly what Meghan got.
