previously shared that one of her New Year's resolutions was to stop biting her nails - as well as an "unladylike habit" that happens after "a couple of drinks". Taking to her former blog, The Tig, in January 2016, Meghan shared a list of habits that she wanted to break - but had failed to do so in the previous year.

The post on The Tig, which was closed down in 2017 shortly before Meghan officially joined the Royal Family, was shared just a few months before she met Prince Harry.

Meghan, 43, began dating Harry, 40, during the summer of 2016 - with the pair becoming engaged the following year.

Meghan - now mum to Prince Archie, five, and three-year-old Princess Lilibet - wrote: "Run a marathon. Stop biting my nails. Stop swearing. Re-learn French. These make up my New Year's resolution list nearly every year (AKA actually every).

"The marathon hasn't happened. The swearing comes in lulls triggered by being overworked or feeling mighty cheeky after a couple of drinks."

She added: "Then there's the French a language I studied through high school and then lost as I immersed myself in speaking Spanish with the Argentinians during my stint in Buenos Aires.

"I have put my little Rosetta Stone headset in my eager ears every year, resolving to do interviews en francais, but much to my chagrin, it hasn't stuck."

"And when it comes to the biting of the nails well, it still happens with a turbulent flight or a stressful day. It's unladylike. But then again, so is the swearing. Dammit."

Looking ahead into 2016, Meghan added: "For this new year, the only thing I aim to do is to approach life playfully. To laugh and enjoy, to keep my standards high but my level of self-acceptance higher. My New Year's resolution is to leave room for magic.

"To make my plans, and be okay if they sometimes break. To set my goals, but to be open to change."
