We’re here for it.

Prince Harry’s new hobby is no doubt inspired by Meghan Markle. He seems to be a changed man since marrying the actress, cutting down on alcohol and even coffee.

However, he recently revealed that he’s taken up meditation – and meditates every day.

While he and Meghan attended their royal engagement in Birkenhead, the Prince spoke to a Buddhist monk named Kelsang Sonam.

The monk gave him a copy of the book 8 Steps to Happiness because Harry told him that he’s started meditating.

And why do we think Meghan was the one behind it all? Well, before she shut down her website, The Tig, she spoke about her love for the practice.

“Last week marked the one year anniversary of my relationship with meditation, something I found endlessly daunting at first (the thoughts, the distractions, the boredom of it), but soon became the quietude that rocked my world.

“I can’t put my finger on the why or the how, but I will tell you this much, for me…I am just happier. And meditation has much to do with that. I urge you to give it a shot. The worst thing that can happen is that you gave yourself ten minutes of quiet in an endlessly loud world. Shhhhh……it feels good.”

Maybe we should get on the meditation bandwagon too.
