Meghan Markle Discussed Her ‘Normal Workday’ With Harry And The Kids, And It Involves Fast Food
When you’re an actress-turned-duchess and your husband is a prince, people may be forgiven for thinking your “normal workday” is anything but normal. But despite fame and fortune, Meghan Markle’s day-to-day life is much more relatable than you might think. For one thing, it often involves a trip to their favorite local fast food joint.
A tumultuous time
It’s been a rollercoaster few years for Meghan and Harry. They stepped back as senior royals, moved to California, launched a non-profit, and signed lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify to make documentaries and podcasts. They did all this on top of starting a family, which has meant each day’s schedule is extremely full for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan’s routine has always been meticulous
Luckily, even back when she played Rachel Zane on Suits — long before she was whisked off her feet by Harry — Meghan kept a meticulous daily routine. In a 2016 Best Health interview, she revealed, “I used to run all the time, but I typically get picked up for work at 4:15 in the morning on a Monday, so there isn’t much time for jogging, and I would rather have that extra hour of sleep. Now, I change it up — I’ll do yoga a couple of times a week…”
Yoga is Meghan’s thing
Yoga has been a part of Meghan’s life since childhood. She explained, “Yoga is my thing. My mom is a yoga instructor, and I started doing mommy-and-me yoga with her when I was seven. I was very resistant as a kid, but she said, ‘Flower, you will find your practice — just give it time.’ In college, I started doing it more regularly.”
The perfect day
At that point in her life, Meghan’s perfect day involved her animals, food, and acting. She revealed, “I would wake up late, take my dogs for a walk, do some yoga, and have a great sashimi lunch. And, because I love to work, if I was able to go and shoot one scene, then that would be fantastic for a little creative impulse. Then I would have a really great dinner with friends. I love to cook.”
