Passionate about food and wine, Meghan Markle channeled her hobbies into her own lifestyle site, The Tig, named after one of her favorite Italian wines, the famous Tignanello. "For fashion, for beauty, whatever it is, there are all these 'a-ha moments' of 'getting it,'" she told The Rachael Ray Show in 2015 about the kinds of paradigm-shifting products and moments she intended the website to share. Beginning in 2014, Markle wrote posts covering her favorite fashion, books, music, travel, and style tips. Markle interviewed famous names like Serena Williams and Priyanka Chopra, both of whom attended Markle's royal wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018, and also dubbed her magical moments of realization "Tig moments" on the site's About page (via Cosmopolitan).
Markle eventually shut the site down in 2017 and archived all its posts once her relationship with Prince Harry became public. "What began as a passion project (my little engine that could) evolved into an amazing community of inspiration, support, fun and frivolity," Markle wrote in her farewell note on The Tig's homepage. However, now that Markle and Harry are free from the constraints of the British royal family, including a restrictive media policy that would've made Markle maintaining The Tig as a duchess nearly impossible, the internet has speculated whether Markle will relaunch The Tig to chronicle her family's new life in North America.
