Meghan Markle once revealed she failed to stick to her New Year’s resolutions – just like the rest of us.

The Duchess of Sussex described how she makes the same resolutions every year which she fails to keep, particularly after she has had a “few drinks”.

Back in January 2016 and just months before she met future husband Prince Harry, the former Suits actress took to her now-defunct blog The Tig to talk about her “unladylike” habits she’d been trying to give up.

Meghan wrote: “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.

“The marathon hasn’t happened. The swearing comes in lulls triggered by being overworked or feeling mighty cheeky after a couple of drinks.”

The duchess added: “Then there’s the French – a language I studied through high school and then lost as I immersed myself in speaking Spanish with the Argentinians during my stint in Buenos Aires.

“I have put my little Rosetta Stone headset in my eager ears every year, resolving to do interviews en français, but much to my chagrin, it hasn’t stuck.

“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.”

But it seems like that particular year, Meghan decided against making any more resolutions and to focus on one thing – to “approach life playfully”.

She said: “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.

“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.”
