Meghan Markle: Woman of Many Talents

The media constantly buzzes over Meghan Markle’s romance with Prince Harry and how the loved-up couple made an appearance together at an exclusive polo event in Ascot, Berkshire only a few days ago. Giving the paparazzi a picture-perfect moment with a passionate embrace in the car park, they pretty much owned the headlines.

This stylish and smart lady has many solid reasons to be on the trending charts (besides being the besotted Prince Harry’s girlfriend) and we are going to reveal just why.

1. Rachel Zane of Suits

This 35 year old, Californian born husky beauty climbed the popularity charts with her role on American legal drama Suits.

Playing the role of a senior paralegal, a character who battles her own ego to get an inch closer to her dreams.

Her Suits wardrobe is filled with chic blazers, button-down formal shirts and straight-cut skirts that blend oomph and sophistication into office wear. Meghan showed all the #bossbabes how to pull off the work look with swagger.

Here, she models one of her designed collections for a high-street brand, looking absolutely amazing in this sexy leather pencil skirt.

She was quoted as saying in an interview for Good Housekeeping magazine

My wardrobe for Suits isn’t like Working Girl — dressing for work doesn’t have to be so on-the-nose these days. The key is to have your own point of view attached to it. Personally, I love cropped pants in vegan leather, a great fitted blazer and a button-down

2. Fitness Enthusiast

Meghan is known for being an avid runner and yoga fan, which she combines with mindful motivations and blasting work-outs in the gym to keep herself fit, both physically and mentally.

We can all see the results – her long toned legs, lean shape and most of all, her gorgeous smile.

She uses running as a form of moving meditation to clear her head and knows how to make her workouts fun with blasting hip-hop or an intense vinyasa yoga session in a dark room lit by candlelight.

4. Self-proclaimed Foodie

Meghan is not only a successful actress but also a great cook and foodie.

Her hardcore clean eating diet involves an afternoon green juice instead of coffee, some salad with protein for lunch and for dinner and zucchini pasta with her signature pasta sauce.

This girl is a fan of good food. She also ran a food recipe blog: The Tig, where she used to post her healthy recipes such as hempseed stew and spiced broccoli.

We can’t stop drooling over this yummy roasted turkey she made. Yum! Yum!

5. Humanitarian at Heart

Meghan translated her Hollywood fame into philanthropic pursuits with her roles as ambassador for World Vision and advocate for UN women.

She gave a powerful speech for International Women’s Day with UN women, focusing her attention on giving value and empowering young women.

In a personal essay she wrote for ELLE in 2016, she mentioned how she wants to bring social change with her ‘fighting spirit as a girl’.

She pens down another thoughtful piece to mark International Women’s Day in March 2017 which was published on Time’s website.

In this latest article titled, “How Periods Affect Potential” she openly talks about the stigma attached with menstruation in countries like India and Iran.

At the moment, she is working with organizations like UN, One Young World and Myna Mahila Foundation to achieve equality for women worldwide.
