If there’s one thing Meghan Markle knows how to do, it’s reclaiming her narrative. In her Netflix docuseries with Prince Harry, Harry & Meghan, she peels back the curtain on royal life, love, motherhood, and the cost of living authentically in a world that often demands conformity. Beyond the drama and headlines, there were real, human moments that made us pause, reflect, and say, “Yes, girl—been there.”
Here are 5 key takeaways that resonated with us, especially as modern women and mums navigating our own layered identities.
1. Your Story Matters—Tell It Loudly
From the very first episode, it’s clear that Meghan is done letting others write her story. Whether you’re a duchess or a mum trying to find your voice again, this is your reminder: your story is valid. Your journey, your struggles, your joy—it all deserves to be seen and heard, not filtered through someone else’s lens. Own your narrative. You’re the main character.

You’re still becoming.
