A month has already passed since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry walked down the aisle, an event that had more than 29 million people across the world watching to see the exact moment when an ex-American television star and all-around lifestyle icon became the Duchess of Sussex.
But before she became royalty, Markle had a passion for cooking and writing recipes on her now closed lifestyle website, The Tig, and could be found frequently sharing her tips for sticking to healthy diets.
It’s natural to wonder which advice Markle actually took for herself: What exactly does Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, eat every day? Which foods are Markle’s favorites—and why? Are there any tips and tricks we could learn from Meghan Markle?
We dug deep into Markle’s past appearances and interviews—including our own archive—to find which foods, snacks, and meals the duchess regularly eats throughout her day. There are lots of references to fresh, simple staples like rich smoothies and sushi bowls, as well as the fact that she reportedly followed a vegan diet during weekday shoots for her hit television show Suits. And we’re not too surprised that she has a few indulgent favorites of her own, like a hearty pasta “carbonara” and a side of salty french fries.
Here are Meghan Markle’s favorite foods and go-to meals that comprise this royal’s diet:
1) Hot Water & Lemon
In a lengthy interview with Delish, Markle said that her mornings often began quite early in order to make it on set, usually around 4:15 a.m. (a schedule that we’re betting she still maintains as a royal). Rather than reaching for a big cup of coffee, Markle’s first drink every morning is hot water with freshly squeezed lemon.
Enjoying a cup of hot water and lemon has been linked to better digestion throughout the course of the day, and drinking water in and of its own is a step towards weight loss.
