10 photos that prove Meghan Markle is already feeling trapped by The Royal Life

6 Giving Up On Being A Foodie

Did you know that Meghan’s character on Suits was turned into being a foodie as a result of Meghan’s own self-proclaimed foodie title? She even told Marie Claire: “I love to cook. My character is a foodie because they know that I’m a foodie. I’m always on the quest to find amazing new restaurants and new recipes. I’m a California girl, right? I grew up with that farm-to-table dining before it was sweeping the nation. I do think there’s some value to really throwing yourself into food and embracing where it comes from.”

She’s also not the kind of foodie who will only go to Michelin-star restaurants. She revealed to Delish that her favorite restaurant is nowhere near easily accessible, neither from the US, not the UK. As it turns out, it’s a tiny restaurant named Chote Chitr and located 20 minutes outside of Bangkok. In her own words: “It’s got about six tables. I took one bite of pad thai and said, ‘Oh my god, what have I been eating all my life? This is what pad thai is supposed to taste like?’ It shifts the way you look at meals.”

Endearing, but with her face being splattered across every single newspaper, social media posts, and everywhere else, there is a good chance that she will never again be able to enjoy her simple pleasures.

5 Her Real Name Isn’t Meghan

Did you know that Meghan has another name? “Meghan” is actually her middle name, with her first name being Rachel. Fans of her TV show, Suits, should be quick to realize that yes, she does, indeed, share the same name as the character she portrayed for seven seasons.

As Vulture pointed out, she has never actually addressed why she has always gone with Meghan instead. Even in her childhood, all her friends knew her as Meghan and not Rachel. In one interview, she not-so-jokingly said: “My first name is actually Rachel,” without explaining further. It’s clearly not a big deal to her, but it’s sure to be for the royal family.

Known to be a stickler for rules, there is a strong chance that the Queen will impose her will on her name as well. Even Kate Middleton is always referred to as “Catherine Middleton” in all official capacities, as noticed by Elle.

Having given up so much already just to be accepted by the royal family, it would be the ultimate blow if she is also forced to give up her name in favor of her first name. Both names are fine, but there is something to be said about how she has always been called Meghan.
