Meghan Markle's words about ‘her brutal 20s’ have resurfaced and are going viral


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have stepped down as royal family members and relocated to California, but that certainly doesn't stop them from making headlines.
In fact, this past few years they have been all anyone can talk about.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced the arrival of their baby daughter, Lilibet Diana last June, before Prince Harry returned to the UK to reunite with Prince William to unveil a statue of Princess Diana in Kensington Palace's Sunken Gardens.
Since then, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's tell-all interview with Oprah, Oprah With Meghan and Harry: A CBS Primetime Special, has been nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series Or Special category. And of course, the announcement of Prince Harry's upcoming memoir has also been doing the rounds.
It was Meghan’s words about her 20s that made headlines today as a 2014 post from her now defunct blog, The Tig, resurfaced and unsurprisingly went viral.
“My 20s were brutal,” Meghan wrote. “A constant battle with myself, judging my weight, my style, my desire to be as cool/as hip/as smart/as ‘whatever' as everyone else.”
She continued: "My teens were even worse – grappling with how to fit in, and what that even meant.”
