Most people associate pre-royal Meghan Markle with her role as Rachel Zane on the legal drama Suits. Her portrayal of the talented paralegal Rachel Zane made her a fan favourite on the hit show.

Meghan was hard at work producing content for her popular lifestyle blog The Tig when she wasn’t learning scripts or showing off her acting skills in front of the bright lights of the Canadian set.

The Duchess of Sussex’s blog, named after her favourite red wine, was filled with travel adventures, inspirational advice, and delectable recipes. She also shared more in-depth posts, including one that was particularly moving about her biracial experiences.

But, after an incredibly successful first eight months, Meghan admitted she was “terrified” to launch the website, and that she had to accept that some people wouldn’t like her.

She explained in an extremely moving blog post that her work as an actress allowed her to hide behind characters, but the blog was the first time she had put herself front and centre.

She writes: “Where did 2014 go? It was just May and I was sitting with butterflies in my stomach, coercing my finger to press the send button on Twitter. It was time for me to say that this website, this passion project, this thing called The Tig, was going live.

“And I was petrified. That may come as a surprise to you, but let’s be real for a moment. I’m an actor. I have made a career of saying other people’s words for a living and making them sound believable.

“Yes, we color them with nuance and add subtext to the writing, but at the end of the day I can hide behind the character. It’s their words, their choices. The writer puts them on paper and I give them a voice.

“Simply speaking, I am the vehicle. But this Tig thing…that was all me. My thoughts, my words, my likes, my ethos. If you didn’t like it, then you probably didn’t like me. And I (including the people-pleasing little girl in me) had to be okay with that.”
