Meghan expressed her love for Valentine’s Day several times on her now-defunct lifestyle blog The Tig before meeting Prince Harry.
“Hook, line and sinker, I am such a sucker for Valentine’s Day,” sherevealed on the blogin 2015.
Speaking about the importance of self-love, especially on the holiday, she wrote: “I think you need to be your own Valentine.”

“Last season I was chatting with mySuitssister wives, Sarah and Gina, and was in some sort of funk, bemoaning something that was so futile I don’t even remember what it was now. But I was faaaaaar from showing [myself] self love,” she wrote. “One of them stopped me — truth be told I can’t remember which one because they both impart their sage wisdom with me on the daily — but one of the stylish wise ones stopped me and said, ‘Hey! That’s my friend you’re talking about. Be nice to her.’ "
“They were protecting me from myself,” she continued. “From my own criticism, and my own self doubt. They were reminding me to treat myself as well as I treat those closest to me. To be my own valentine.”
Meghan alsoshowed off her romantic sidein another Valentine’s Day blog: “Without fail, every February 14th, I wake up feeling like I’m immersed in a Robert Doisneau photo, waiting with bated breath to be dipped into a kiss. This is all happening in black and white, of course. And in Paris, if I had my way,” she wrote. “But delusions of francophile grandeur aside, Valentine’s Day is special wherever you happen to find yourself. And in terms of gifts, be it breakfast in bed, a sweet love note, or a single flower, it really is the thought that counts.”
