As a celebrity, Meghan always understood the dynamic of having a forward-facing version of herself that's very formal. Still, she was used to letting that go and relaxing in private with her close friends and family. Unfortunately, that wasn't quite the case with the royals, she soon learned.
"Now, I know so much, and I'm so glad I didn't then because I could just authentically be myself without so much preparedness," Meghan explains, sharing how she was in ripped jeans and barefoot when she met Prince William and Kate for the first time. She also shares that she's a hugger, which she realized is "really jarring for a lot of Brits" (though it's unclear if this was an issue with William and Kate).
"I guess I started to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside," Meghan shares.
