Cool, now that we got that out of the way, it's time to discuss the wish Meghan makes every single year-because it's pretty perfect. In a post from the now-defunct lifestyle blog The Tig, Meghan wrote that every year she celebrates her birthday by reflecting on her future and by making a wish-a tradition that was inspired by her mom, Doria Ragland.

"My mum has always said that birthdays are your own personal New Year," Meghan wrote in 2016. "Your own chance to make resolutions just for yourself and what you prognosticate for your year ahead."

That particular year, Meghan's personal resolutions were "More surprises, more adventure, more opportunities to grow, more days filled with giggles and cheeky jokes, more delicious meals, and more inspiration. Always more inspiration."

Considering she started dating Prince Harry right around this time, it looks like Meghan got her wish. That same year she wrote "I am feeling so incredibly joyful right now, so grateful and content that all I could wish for is more of the same."
