As the world eagerly anticipates the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, there is one piece of information that has caught the attention of many: Meghan’s childhood dream of becoming a princess. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the American actress revealed that even before she met Prince Harry, she had already imagined herself in a royal role.
Growing up in Los Angeles, Meghan was just like any other girl with big dreams and aspirations. She was fond of watching Disney princess movies and would often play dress-up in her room, imagining herself as a princess. However, unlike most little girls, Meghan’s dreams of becoming a princess were not solely based on fairytales and fantasies. She was determined to make them a reality.
From a young age, Meghan was drawn to the idea of royalty and what it represented. She admired the grace, elegance and responsibilities that came with being a princess. In an interview with Marie Claire in 2013, Meghan shared, «I always wanted to be a lady who lunches. I’ve never wanted to be a lady who plays.» This desire for a refined and sophisticated lifestyle was something that was instilled in Meghan by her parents, who raised her to be strong, independent and compassionate.
But it wasn’t just about the lavish lifestyle that came with being a princess, Meghan was also attracted to the charitable work that members of the royal family are involved in. She admitted to always being inspired by Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, and her philanthropic efforts. Meghan has been involved in humanitarian work from a young age and it’s no surprise that she was drawn to a royal life that allowed her to make a difference in the world.
As her acting career took off, Meghan was well on her way to achieving her dreams. But she never forgot about her childhood dream of becoming a princess. In another interview with the Daily Mail, Meghan revealed that every little girl’s dream was to find their prince charming and to become a princess, and she was no exception. So when she met Prince Harry, it seemed like fate was finally catching up with her childhood dream.
Their first meeting was set up by a mutual friend and was a blind date. Meghan admits that she didn’t know much about Prince Harry, but was intrigued about meeting him. From the very first date, the chemistry was undeniable and their relationship blossomed from there. According to Meghan, she knew that she was in love with Prince Harry after just two dates. And as they got to know each other, Meghan learned that Prince Harry shared the same values and passion for making a difference in the world.
One of the things that drew Meghan to Prince Harry was his down-to-earth nature. Despite being a member of the royal family, he has always remained humble and approachable. This is something that resonates with Meghan, who has always been vocal about using her platform for good. She believes that as a public figure, it is important to use her voice for positive change.
When news of their relationship broke, it was met with great excitement and support from fans all over the world. Many were thrilled that a self-made woman like Meghan was going to be a part of the royal family. Some even speculated that she would be a breath of fresh air and bring a modern touch to the traditional monarchy.
As their relationship became more public, Meghan’s childhood dream of becoming a princess was finally coming true. In November 2017, Prince Harry and Meghan announced their engagement and the world rejoiced at the prospect of a fairytale royal wedding. When asked about the attention and pressure that comes with joining the royal family, Meghan admits that it can be overwhelming at times, but she is ready for the challenge.
In the months leading up to the wedding, Meghan has been known to make secret trips to the countryside to spend time with her fiancé and his family. She has also been busy preparing for her new royal role, attending charity events and learning about the customs and traditions of the British monarchy. But amidst all the preparation, Meghan has never forgotten about her true motivation for wanting to be a part of the royal family – making a difference in the world.
As the countdown to the royal wedding continues, one thing is for sure – Meghan’s childhood dream of becoming a princess is about to become a reality. And even though she may not have grown up in a royal family, her values, passion and determination make her the perfect addition to the British monarchy.
