Despite the fact that royals can be very famous, they are different from celebrities. While celebrities’ main objectives are to promote their own skills and talents, royals simply use their popularity to bring attention to the causes they support as well as the royal family they are a part of.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, joined the royal family in 2018. While a lot of fans are aware that she was an actress before becoming royalty, not many people nowadays know about other skills she possesses. In fact, Meghan is quite talented in a variety of areas.

Meghan Markle can cook

When Meghan was still an actress, she had a lifestyle blog called The Tig, where she often shared recipes with fans. Many of her recipes, such as her favorite oatmeal brûlée, are also healthy and reflect her health-conscious lifestyle.

Meghan is such a skilled cook that she reportedly takes charge of the kitchen at home with Prince Harry. While many royals can easily hire a kitchen staff, it has been said that she makes food for her and her husband every day.  

Meghan Markle is good at calligraphy

Meghan attended an all-girls Catholic school growing up and was taught cursive writing there. This led her to become interested in calligraphy, and Meghan ended up being a professional calligrapher. When she was still trying to make it big in acting, she would take on calligraphy jobs to make money. Reportedly, she wrote wedding and party invitations for many folks in Hollywood and even taught a course on calligraphy in Beverly Hills.

Meghan Markle can dance

Meghan has been able to show off her dancing skills a few times as a royal. However, fans might be surprised to learn her abilities go beyond just being able to move to a piece of music.

According to Meghan’s old acting resume, she has trainings in ballet, jazz, and tap dancing.

Meghan Markle can speak Spanish and French

When Meghan was studying international relations at Northwestern University, she landed a prestigious internship at the U.S. embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Although it is not clear how Meghan learned Spanish, it is said that she can speak Spanish with an Argentine accent.

In addition to Spanish, Meghan also has knowledge of French. She took French courses for six years and used to live in Canada, which is a country bilingual French and English. Meghan lived in the city of Toronto, where English is mostly spoken, so it is not known just how fluent she is in French. It is likely she can converse at least a bit in the language.
