When it comes to New Year’s resolutions,Meghan Markle’s is the stuff of magic.
In January 2016, the then 34-year-old shared her personal goals for the New Year on herformer lifestyle blog, The Tig. But first, she admitted she doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to keeping resolutions.
“Run a marathon. Stop biting my nails. Stop swearing. Re-learn French. These make my New Year’s resolution list nearly (AKA actually every) single year,” she wrote, adding that they never came to fruition.
“And when it comes to the biting of the nails – well, it still happens with a turbulent flight or a stressful day. It’s unladylike. But then again, so is the swearing. Dammit,” she continued.

But that all changed in 2016 when she decided to take a brand new approach to the New Year.
“This year, I resolve not to have a resolution,” she wrote.
“For this new year, the only thing I aim to do is to approach life playfully. To laugh and enjoy, to keep my standards high but my level of self-acceptance higher,” she continued.
“My New Year’s resolution is to leave room for magic. To make my plans, and be okay if they sometimes break. To set my goals, but to be open to change,” Meghan added, before encouraging others to follow suit.
Less than six months after she pledged to “leave room for magic,” she met her future husband,Prince Harry, on ablind date.

And if you ask Harry and Meghan about their love story, they’ll admit it was just as fated as that New Year’s resolution.
“I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly — it was a confirmation to me that all the stars were aligned,” Harry said in thecouple’s interview after their engagement.
“This beautiful woman literally tripped and fell into my life. I fell into her life and the fact that she will be unbelievably good at the job part of it as well is obviously a huge relief to me because she’ll be able to deal with everything else that comes with it.”
