An iconic duo.

Meghan Markle has had one hell of a year!

She married into the royal family, which caused a media frenzy, and she also announced her pregnancy.

Despite already being in the public eye before her marriage, Meghan has now become one of the most famous faces in the world.

And let’s be honest, that can’t be an easy thing to come to terms with.

However, the amazing Michelle Obama has given Meghan some pretty amazing advice.

In fairness, she also knows what life is like in the public eye.

“Like me, Meghan probably never dreamt that she’d have a life like this, and the pressure you feel, from yourself and from others, can sometimes feel like a lot,” Michelle explained, while promoting her new book.

Michelle also added a brilliant piece of advice for the Duchess:

“So my biggest piece of advice would be to take some time and don’t be in a hurry to do anything.”

“I spent the first few months in the White House mainly worrying about my daughters, making sure they were off to a good start at school and making new friends before I launched into any more ambitious work. I think it’s okay, it’s good, even, to do that.”

Naturally, Michelle Obama also said that Meghan has a great opportunity to make a difference, given her position.

“I think Meghan can maximise her impact for others, as well her own happiness, if she’s doing something that resonates with her personally.”
