‘It’s unladylike…’ Meghan Markle’s New Year’s resolutions are pretty relatable

Ditto.

It’s at this time of year that many of us are feeling, well, sluggish.

And thus thoughts of January 1 creep into our minds… and we consider how we might better ourselves and our lives once the clock strikes midnight.

It seems that Meghan Markle is no different either: indeed, the 36-year-old former actress and princess-in-waiting is focused on two things for 2018: less swearing (ditto) and no more nail-biting (yup).

Almost two years ago, writing on her now defunct blog The Tig, the California-native admitted “stop biting my nails. Stop swearing” were top of her New Year’s priorities.

She also revealed that same two commitments crop up annually: “These make my New Year’s resolution list nearly (actually every) single year.

“The swearing comes in lulls triggered by being overworked or feeling mighty cheeky after a couple drinks.”


She went on to admit that she still bites her nails during “a turbulent flight or a stressful day”.

“It’s unladylike. But then again, so is the swearing. Dammit.”

Meghan also said she wanted to take up French after studying it in school and run a marathon.

She and Prince Harry will say ‘I do’ in front of 800 nearest and dearest next May 19 at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle near London.
