Meghan Markle may have been a relative unknown to the royal family, but they certainly weren’t unknown to her.
The former actress, 41, previously claimed to know very little about the royals before marrying Prince Harry in 2018; however, it now seems she was knowledgeable about a certain member: Kate Middleton.
Back in 2014, Markle penned her sharp critique of Middleton’s 2011 wedding to Prince William in her now-defunct lifestyle blog, “The Tig,” in which the “Suits” star seemingly mocked the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s lavish nuptials.
Named after her favorite red wine, Tignanello, Markle’s online journal dove into topics such as food, fashion, health and travel, as well as touching on subjects of politics and philanthropy.
According to the Daily Mail, the resurfaced article reportedly noted the “endless conversations” surrounding the opulent ceremony — and declared that young girls should want to grow up to be mighty women in real life, not damsels swept up in a fairytale.
“We’re definitely not talking about Cinderella here,” Markle wrote of the royal wedding.
“Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power,” she said, in reference to the fictional superhero in the Masters of the Universe franchise. “She-Ra is the twin sister of He-Man and a sword-wielding royal rebel known for her strength.”
Markle’s manifesto continued: “Grown women seem to retain this childhood fantasy. Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding and endless conversation about Princess Kate.”
A source close to the Duchess of Sussex later denied to People that The Tig was shut down at the behest of the royal family ahead of her engagement to Harry in 2017.
Now, some speculate the California native could be staging a comeback for her site in the near future.
Earlier this year, Markle filed a document with the US Patent and Trademark Office to potentially reboot the blog.
The new version of the website would consist of interviews and articles about a wide range of subjects including cooking, relationships, fashion, interior design, lifestyle, art, health and wellness.
Just before the blog went offline, Markle composed a farewell note that year on the blog, titled: “The Tig: Farewell, Darling.”
“After close to three beautiful years on this adventure with you, it’s time to say goodbye to The Tig,” she wrote, referring to the site as a “community of inspiration, support, fun and frivolity.”
Markle continued, “Keep finding those Tig moments of discovery, keep laughing and taking risks, and keep being ‘the change you wish to see in the world.’ Above all, don’t ever forget your worth – as I’ve told you time and time again: you, my sweet friend, you are enough. Thank you for everything.”
