She might look like she knows what she’s doing now, but that hasn’t always been the case for Meghan Markle. In fact, the Duchess of Sussex opened up about her personal struggles and how she had a difficult time overcoming her “brutal” 20s in a new, unearthed blog post for The Tig.
Back in 2014 and on her 33rd birthday, Meghan revealed that she was in a “constant battle” with herself over her weight and her self image.
Meghan Markle Had Very Little Confidence In Her 20s
Meghan wrote at the time, “My 20s were brutal – a constant battle with myself, judging my weight, my style, my desire to be as cool/as hip/as smart/as ‘whatever’ as everyone else. My teens were even worse – grappling with how to fit in, and what that even meant. My high school had cliques: the black girls and white girls, the Filipino and the Latina girls.”
She added, “Being biracial, I fell somewhere in between. So everyday during lunch, I busied myself with meetings – French club, student body, whatever one could possibly do between noon and 1pm- I was there. Not so that I was more involved, but so that I wouldn’t have to eat alone.”
However, Meghan said there was one moment in her youth that helped her gain some perspective.
She said: “I must have been about 24 when a casting director looked at me during an audition and said ‘You need to know that you’re enough. Less makeup, more Meghan.’ I want you to find your happiness. I did. And it’s never felt so good.”
Needless to say, Meghan Markle went on to marry Prince Harry in 2016.
