Meghan Markle: Daily Routine

Meghan Markle starts her day at 4:30am with yoga, emails by 5, and somehow still finds time to raise two kids and run a media company.

Meghan Markle has had a busy past few years. Ever since landing the role in the hit TV show Suits in 2011, the former American actress has been moving around in the spotlight. The glare of the spotlight only intensified when, in 2016, she began dating Prince Harry.

Since then, the couple got married in 2018; Meghan Markle became Meghan, Duchess of Sussex; welcomed two kids (Archie and Lilibet) born 2019 and 2021; moved back to the U.S.; launched a non-profit organisation called Archewell Inc.; and started a Spotify-exclusive podcast, Archetypes. In between all this, Markle found time to create a picture book, The Bench, and start production on a docuseries to be aired on Netflix in the near future.

Whether we care to admit it or not, we all have a finite amount of time to honour the days we have on earth and really push to achieve our potential and accomplish things we feel truly proud of.

To stay on top of her wide-ranging ventures, while raising two kids, while juggling the usual, intense demands of the media, Markle prioritises living a mindful and healthy lifestyle. She also wakes up really early. According to a 2018 Vanity Fair profile piece, the Duchess of Sussex regularly wakes up at 4.30am to do some yoga, after which she’ll start sending emails off to her staff at 5am.
