Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have lived on with a renewed unified persona in the US for about four years now and have cherished two kids and famed philanthropy along the way. However, over the years, the title of a working royal is not the only thing the Duchess of Sussex has left behind. Long before her marriage into the royal quarters, the former Suits actress also penned her thoughts on a lifestyle blog called ‘The Tig’.

Now defunct and archived, it once served as the front door to her life and its stories with a particular one shining a lamp at a gift her eleven-year-old self never quite grasped.

Meghan Markle once shared how her “two worlds” always co-existed as a “gift”

From spreading awareness on social, gender, and racial equality to voicing her concerns for women, Meghan Markle has always had quite an active social front. Rather, her life revolving around philanthropy and shifting between “refugee camps to red carpets” existed since her early acting days with roots going back to her childhood. In an archival post from ‘The Tig’ shared by The Mirror, the Duchess once highlighted the role of her father, a television lighting director, and her therapist mother offering her “a foot in two contrasting worlds”.

The Rachel Zane actress further stated her parents, despite coming from little, always showcased random acts of kindness and grace which seeded the spirit of humanity in her. Additionally, after having delivered on both the acting and activism fronts, she believed that “these worlds can, in fact, coexist” and that for her, “they must”. In an emotional callback, she hoped her younger self would be “proud”. Finally, closing in with, “And, truth be told, it’s the most beautiful gift I never knew I always had.”

In the current state of affairs, Meghan Markle just made a comeback to Instagram with a new venture in the making.

Duchess of Sussex returns to social media with a brand

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry took an active interest in reorganizing themselves as a brand with a website detailing their royalty. While it has undergone several changes, the crux of it remains the same – to highlight the couple’s life and help them connect better with the global audience alongside their Instagram page, @sussexroyal. However, just about a day ago, the Duchess launched another page titled American Riviera Orchard.

Shy details about the nature and purpose of the handle have emerged, but so far it only has nine posts making up for a carousel of the brand’s logo prominently etching Montecito. Speculations have pitched it as a successor to ‘The Tig’ to a new lifestyle brand, with any guess as good as others.
