Let’s talk about Meghan Markle, shall we? The Duchess of Sussex has always had a knack for making a statement, whether it’s through her fashion choices or her words. Now, here’s something you might not know: back in the day, before she became a royal, Meghan had a lifestyle blog called The Tig. Recently, People magazine uncovered a gem from her 2014 posts where she spilled the beans on her idea of the perfect summer. And let me tell you, it’s as delightful as you’d imagine.
This summer, Meghan has been keeping a low profile after welcoming her first child, Baby Archie, in May. But that doesn’t mean we can’t dive into her past and see what made her heart sing during the warmer months. In her blog post from June 20, 2014, Meghan shared her summertime traditions and favorite activities, giving us a glimpse into the life of the former Suits actress before she became part of the royal family.
Her Idea of a Perfect Summer Day
According to Meghan, the ultimate summer afternoon involves soaking up the sun with a cocktail in hand, surrounded by the laughter of her closest friends, an Otis Redding playlist playing in the background, and the gentle breeze of the wind. "I’m talking about perfection, people," she wrote. "The kind of perfection that only summertime can bring. Think picnics, barbecues, lounging by the pool with friends, and toasting to the season. It’s all about making the most of those long, golden days."

A Toast to Summer with Her Signature Drink
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Meghan gave a little nod to her future husband, Prince Harry, by mentioning her go-to summer drink. "While I usually prefer a glass of rosé or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, sometimes the day calls for something a little more special. Enter The TIG Cup," she explained. "As someone who loves all things British, I wanted to put a twist on their classic Pimm’s Cup."
She continued, "Using fresh, vibrant ingredients from the farmers’ market, this drink will not only quench your thirst but also keep you cool during those long summer days that stretch into magical nights. It’s a guaranteed crowd pleaser and a tribute to the fresh, seasonal flavors that make summer so special. Cheers!"
How Her Summers Have Changed
Of course, Meghan’s summers now look a little different from her pre-royal days. While she used to enjoy late nights in New York City, "likely imbibing some cocktail that’s oddly pink," she’s now spending her time with her newborn son, Archie, and her handsome husband, Prince Harry. Recently, the couple traveled to Nice, France, for a well-deserved vacation after celebrating Meghan’s 38th birthday in Ibiza, Spain. And as summer winds down, they’re expected to visit Queen Elizabeth at her Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
It’s clear that Meghan’s love for summer hasn’t faded, even if her celebrations have evolved. We can’t wait to see what she, Harry, and little Archie get up to next!
