Meghan Markle previously shared that she planned to quit one “unladylike” habit on her former lifestyle blog, The Tig.
Speaking of her plans as she headed into a new year, Meghan revealed that she wanted to stop biting her nails – as well as something that happens after “a couple of drinks”.
Writing on her blog in January 2016, Meghan wrote her list of habits that she wanted to stop the previous year – but seemingly failed.
Meghan, who met Prince Harry later that summer, wrote: “Run a marathon. Stop biting my nails. Stop swearing. Re-learn French. These make up my New Year’s resolution list nearly every year (AKA actually every).
“The marathon hasn’t happened. The swearing comes in lulls triggered by being overworked or feeling mighty cheeky after a couple of drinks.”
She 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 francais, but much to my chagrin, it hasn’t stuck.”
Meghan, who is now mum to five-year-old Archie and three-year-old Lilibet, added: “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.”
Looking ahead to 2016, Meghan 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. 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.”
