9 Of Meghan’s Most Inspirational Quotes

If there is such a thing as an American princess, Meghan is it. She is not only beautiful but also got the brains! And she can also cook a roast chicken! So, it is not a surprise why Harry has fallen in love with her.

But more than anything, Meghan has always been a fiercely independent woman with a burning desire to change the world. She was an actress struggling to find self-confidence as she was trying to make it in Hollywood.

It was when a casting director told her that, “You are enough!” that Meghan had what she considers a wake-up call about redefining what beauty is and not allowing the words of others to define her.

In light of this successful Duchess look back at the star’s most inspirational quotes to date.
