Before they met for the first time, both Harry and Meghan hadn’t known much about each other. The Prince hadn’t even heard about Meghan. But the pair hit it off right away. They had no assumptions about each other, and they got to know each other first-hand.

To marry into the British royal family, Meghan had to give up a lot. An accomplished actress, she had to leave the business, as members of the royal family are not supposed to work. She also had to delete her social media accounts, as these are prohibited for the royals.

But acting wasn’t Meghan’s only activity. She also ran a popular lifestyle blog called The Tig, but she had to say goodbye to her readers. The blog was shut down, and all the articles were taken offline.

On her blog, Meghan wrote about healthy living, beauty, fashion, and travelling. And it was not just a hobby; she was reportedly making decent money from it. The blog’s audience was growing, and she could go on expand her brand, had she not met Prince Harry.

But giving up acting and blogging is a sacrifice worth making to marry a British prince, don’t you think so?
