The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle might well receive the heat of the endless controversies, but she knows how to handle them with ease. Long before her royal life took a toll on Markle, the former Suits actress was thriving at the pinnacle of her career. Back in the day, her much-talked-about personal blog, The Tig, did the job of the current-day royal experts. The now-defunct website was the source of the actress’ whereabouts and her personal life. 

In the summer of 2014, Markle took to her blog to share some summer essentials and interests with her readers. The contents of these have once again come in handy for users, as outlined by People. Long before meeting Prince Harry, Meghan Markle talked about bringing in ‘perfection of celebrating the summers.

“Sun-kissed afternoons, cocktail in hand, surrounded by nothing but the laughter of your closest mates, an Otis Redding playlist, and the whistling breeze of the wind” combined together formed the perfect summer for the then actress. She further added that all of this comes with perfection in the summertime. Further setting the mood, Markle added how “Picnics and barbecues, laying out by the pool with friends, and toasting to the season” topped her list. 

Adding to the post, she shared a summer drink recipe which somewhat hinted at her future. Sharing a cocktail, Markle wrote how she “loves all things British“. Nonetheless, her life at the English landing did not go as planned. 

Controversies around Meghan Markle skyrocketed upon her royal entry 

Right from her courtship days with the military Prince Harry up until they left the Kingdom for good, Markle had controversies engulfing her left and right. The majority of them revolved around the rivalry between her and the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton. A few of them also saw light in Markle’s long-disabled blog, the Tig. 

Her journal previously made noise for sheltering some age-old controversial comments about the royal family. Nevertheless, despite her personal confession, it also outlined Markle’s day-to-day activities, her likes, and her dislikes. She also listed some of her favorite meals, products, shows, and curated list of books, accessible to commoners.
