When questioned about her ability to eat fries and stay healthy she explained that "it's all about balance, because I work out the way I do, I don't ever want to feel deprived. I feel that the second you do that is when you start to binge on things. It's not a diet; it's a lifestyle."
Meghan Markle: Red wine
Meghan named her now discontinued lifestyle blog The Tig after her favourite wine, Tignanello. The wine is a red wine blend from Italy with a fruity taste and underlying spicy tones. The mother-of-two is also a huge fan of French Carbernet, Argentinian Malbec's and Pinto Noir from Oregon.
