The idea of thoughtful beginnings is not new for Meghan. Years earlier, during the time of her lifestyle blog The Tig, she once shared a personal list of recurring New Year resolutions. She joked about trying every year to stop biting her nails, cut down on swearing, and re-learn French. She admitted that stress and long flights often triggered old habits, adding with humour that both nail biting and swearing were not exactly ladylike.
Only months after writing that post, she met Prince Harry on a blind date. The memory now reads like a quiet snapshot of life before everything changed.
A cosy holiday at home
Meghan’s gentle outlook for 2026 followed a warm Christmas spent at home in Montecito with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. In a festive message shared with subscribers, she offered a glimpse of their holiday routine. She described nibbling leftovers from a Christmas Eve dinner of dim sum, wrapping last-minute gifts, and tiptoeing downstairs with Harry to check that Santa had enjoyed cookies and the reindeer had eaten their carrots.
