Meghan Markle spoke of "flexing independence" just months after meeting Prince Harry. In a post on her now defunct blog The Tig, the former Suits star wrote about the importance of being independent - saying it can help "the opportunity for greater growth".
In the 2016 post called The Art of Independence, Meghan also said it was important to do things for "yourself - to flex your independence" as "enjoying your own company is the very best start for that adventure." The blog post has since been widely shared by fans of the Duchess.
The now Duchess of Sussex penned the solo dating manual in September 2016 - two months after she met Prince Harry - and said dating is important even if a person is in a relationship.
