Meghan Markle, 43, has settled into life in Montecito, California, with her husband Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The Duchess says she feels at home and is reconnecting with a community that includes stay-at-home moms and working women.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Meghan shares stories about her new friendships and experiences as a private figure. She attends group fitness classes, often with 40 to 50 people, and finds it normal to interact with strangers. When someone near her completes a challenging exercise, she gives them a fist bump or punch, saying “it’s the best part of being human.”
Meghan’s family has also been welcomed into the community, with friends recalling their playdates and birthday celebrations. The Duchess shares that she sent balloons and a stuffed octopus to her friend after her son’s surgery, showing her appreciation for their friendship.
In the interview, Meghan reflects on building her brand over the years, acknowledging it’s a “learning curve.” She appreciates those who have given her grace to make mistakes and forgive herself. The Duchess of Sussex is now pursuing new ventures, including a Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, and her lifestyle brand.
