Meghan Markle unwinds in style!

In a video that accompanied her Variety Power of Women cover, out Wednesday, the Duchess of Sussex talked about the entertainment she and her family turn to for amusement.

"Hi, I'm Meghan, and I play a mean game of Scrabble!" she began. "Especially timed Scrabble. It's something that I've loved for a long time. I'm very good at Jeopardy!" she added with a laugh, mentioning that she loves to cook and makes "a really solid Bolognese sauce."

The camera cut to behind the scenes of her Variety photoshoot, shot at San Ysidro Ranch in her town of Montecito, California, before panning back to the interview.

"My favorite rom-com of all time is When Harry Met Sally, but put Julia Roberts in anything, and I'm going to be a fan of those too," the Duchess of Sussex shared.

A voice behind the camera asked Meghan what she and Prince Harry have been watching together, eliciting a relatable answer.

"Once we've gotten the kids to bed, and I've played a little Wordle, or done my 10 minutes of Duolingo [in hopes of refreshing her French, which she studied in high school]… After those two things, if we do turn on the TV, which is fairly rare, I think we're like most people, where you just do endless searching until you get tired of searching, you don't watch anything!" she said with a smile.
