This Meghan Markle Tweet Proves She Has What It Takes to Make It in The Royal Family

This Meghan Markle Tweet Proves She Has What It Takes To Make It In The Royal Family In less than a year, Meghan Markle will marry Prince Harry and officially become part of the royal family. But, scroll through her Twitter feed and its clear, Markle has always had what it takes to be a royal. Mainly because shes always known her worth, something Markle noted in a recent tweet that cited poet Nayyirah Waheed. On International Womens Day 2017, Markle tweeted a message to her followers that was also an affirmation. To always knowing your worth, she wrote, following that concise tweet up with a short inspirational poem from Nayyirah Waheed. The poem, which appeared in Waheeds first self-published collection, 2013s salt., focused on the need to know yourself and not let anyone else define you. The poem has Waheed sharing a piece of advice with her daughter that states it is not her beauty that will help her get through life, but her confidence. knowing your worth, Waheed wrote, can save your life.. Markle shared the quote on a day that celebrates women, and more importantly, asks women to celebrate themselves. Waheeds words follow suit, making the case that needing other peoples approval or feeding off of other peoples compliments will make you weaker. Its a strong statement from Markle, who as an actor was always in the public eye, and now as Prince Harrys partner will be scrutinized even more. But she knows that strength doesnt come from what other people think of you; its how you think of yourself. To deal with fame, you have to have a strong sense of self. You have to know who you are since theyll be so many people who will want to make you doubt yourself. For anyone whos seen the video of 11-year-old Markle speaking out about sexism regarding a commercial that implied women are the only ones washing dishes, its clear this is a woman who definitely isnt afraid to be herself or speak out for what she believes in. That same conviction lies in everything the adult Markle does, whether its fighting for women in places like Rwanda and India as a United Nations Women Advocate or taking on her royal duties, whatever those may end up being. In Prince Harry and Markles first TV interview as an engaged couple, she told the BBC that she was ready for a new chapter in her life after giving up her role on Suits. But that doesnt mean shes going to become a new person, as she said:. “What’s been really exciting, as we talk about this as the transition out of my career… is that the causes that have been very important to me, I can focus even more energy on. You realize that as you have access, or a voice that people are willing to listen to, [it comes with] a lot of responsibility, which I take seriously.”. That responsibility she speaks of seems to fall in line with her International Womens Day message — that knowing who you are and knowing your worth can help you figure out whats important to you. It makes you fight harder for those things because you have your own convictions. When being in the public eye like Markle, you cant let others opinions get in the way. Already, shes been subject to the opinions of those who dont approve of Prince Harry and Markles engagement because of her skin color. When it was first announced that the two were dating, Prince Harry released a statement through his communications secretary that spoke out against the wave of abuse and harassment Markle was facing. When speaking with the BBC earlier this month, she also spoke about how disheartening it was to hear people criticizing their relationship based on her race. As Markle said then, though, At the end of the day Im really just proud of who I am and where I come from, and we have never put any focus on that. Weve just focused on who we are as a couple.. Markle doesnt need to be liked by everyone, and she already knows she wont be. She has confidence in herself that she knows best whats best for her. That strength makes her someone who wont crumble under the pressure of her royal duties. But more importantly, that confidence gives fans another reason to bow down to Markle — everyones favorite new royal, who already rules.
