Let's face it … just about everyone is drawn to the California cool-girl attitude, right? This is something Meghan Markle has been showing off long before she met Prince Harry, and well, it makes her absolutely irresistible. Before she married the adorable Harry, Meghan was all about her blog The Tig, having drinks with her girlfriends, and swapping acting war stories. Things have changed quite a bit now that she's meeting with dignitaries and important public figures, but that hasn't made us want to be her best friend any less. In fact, we might was to join her inner circle even more now that she's earned her HRH status.
Now, this isn't because she has access to all of the royal perks now, but it's because the Duchess of Sussex has grown so much since she became a royal. And we think that would make her even a better friend than before.
Sure, Meghan has an amazing closet (from before and after her royal status) and she's already friends with a long list of celebrities, but the Duchess of Sussex is also incredibly kind, gentle, and smart. We know from her marrying Prince Harry that she can appreciate a good joke or gag too, so why wouldn't Meghan be the person that we want at our girlfriend brunches?
Plus, being a member of Meghan's inner circle of friends also means direct access to the adorable Archie Harrison, and who wouldn't love that? So, because Meghan is the girlfriend we all wish we had, here are all the reasons we want to join her inner ranks of friendship.
Check out our Meghan Markle page for all the latest news about Meghan, Prince Harry, and their growing family.
Access to Her Amazing Closet
OK … even before Meghan joined the royal family, this woman had amazing style. And since she isn't using most of her pre-duchess clothing, maybe she would be more inclined to loan a few pieces to her BFFs.
She's Friends With Other A-Lister's
Do the names Serena Williams and Amal Clooney ring any bells? Meghan has a long list of celeb BFFs that her other friends are bound to meet at some point.
We could only wish, right?
She's Great At Giving Life Advice
Meghan used to write on her blog The Tig, and she covered everything from fashion tips to diet advice, so we have to guess that her inner circle is some of the most stylish and healthiest people on this planet. Group yoga dates, perhaps?
She Has Access to Harry's Friends
We don't know about the rest of Meghan's friends, but we would definitely be interested in meeting Prince Harry's inner circle, too. We can only imagine what a rowdy and interesting crowd that must be.
Playdates With Archie
Being BFFs with Meghan means that we can also have access to the adorable and elusive baby Archie Harrison. We're sure that outsiders don't have the chance to hang out with him often, so it would definitely be a privilege.
Invitations to Cool Parties
Being in Meghan's inner circle might mean getting invitations to some of the hottest parties of the year. The duchess already got to attend the London premiere of The Lion King, so next time an event like that comes out, we say she should leave Harry at home with the baby.
She Has a Sense of Humor
I mean … she is married to Prince Harry, after all! The duchess may be classy, elegant, and composed, but she also appreciates a good joke, and we can image that she makes her friends laugh all the time.
She Cares About the Important Things
Meghan is a no-frills kind of duchess! When a friend set her up with Prince Harry, all she wanted to know what if he was kind or not. That's what we call only caring about what truly matters, and well, we all need a friend like that.
She Isn't Petty
Even though there might be a lot of drama and attention following the duchess around, she doesn't perpetuate it. If there's one thing Meghan isn't, it's petty. There's no pointless fights and bickering in this royal woman's friend group!
She Knows About Harry's Wild Days
OK … how great would it be to hear first hand the tales of Prince Harry's wild days. We're sure Meghan would only share those stories with her closest of friends, so we have our work cut out for us.
She Enjoys a Good Glass of Wine
Before she joined the royal family, Meghan was not shy about posting her wine parties with all of her gal pals, and yeah, we definitely wish we were a part of those ladies-only hangouts. Sometimes we can't help but miss Meghan's pre-royal Instagram!
She Can Cook Like Nobody's Business
Meghan had no problem sharing some of her favorite recipes on her old blog, and there's also a rumor going around that she won over the hearts of the Cambridge kids with her cooking. We can only imagine what her friend nights in are like!
She Has All of the Beauty Secrets
Another thing that Meghan shared on her blog were all of her beauty secrets. Being in the duchess's inner circle means having access to all of the best skin care and makeup tips … and maybe she even lets her friends borrow some of her products.
She Likes to Take It Easy
Meghan and Prince Harry spent a lot of their early relationship indoors, hiding from the public, so we think it's safe to say that the duchess wouldn't mind doing the same with her girlfriends. A ladies' night in can be just what the doctor ordered sometimes!
She Can Give Tips on Relationships
Meghan and Prince Harry had a long distance relationship right off the bat when they first started dating, so we'd say that the duchess has some expert advice on how to make something last.
She Would Pull Out All the Stops
We can say on good authority that Meghan would pull out all the stops for her best friends. The woman spent a quick weekend in New York City with a massive amount of paparazzi just so she could see her friends and let them throw her a baby shower. That's pure friendship!
She Knows the Importance of Privacy
Meghan and Prince Harry have been all about privacy ever since they started dating and eventually got married, so the duchess would definitely do the same to protect her closest friends. The paparazzi can be brutal, for sure!
She Knows How to Handle Drama
Unfortunately, Meghan's family hasn't done a good job of keeping drama out of her life, and the duchess has had to deal with it for some time. This has made her an expert at knowing how to handle the unexpected, and well, friend fights can sometimes come unexpectedly.
She's a Great Listener
We can see it just how Meghan interacts with people during royal engagements; this duchess is a wonderful listening and really cares about what people have to say. And how does that not make an amazing friend??
She Appreciates Brunch
One of the most important aspects of friendships is definitely brunch. Meghan hails from the US, so brunch is practically in her DNA. As we all know, she has no problem serving up some classic avocado toast.
