The Duchess of Sussex is known to have had a kit of life with her own name on it long before she stepped up onto the pedestal of the British Royal Family. And while a few things, like a makeshift after-school dating show turned into a cooking show to her name over time, Meghan Markle's natural grace in social settings remains undefeated. Her personality archetype remained the same: hostess undefeated. 

From childhood games to Netflix, Markle's knack for hosting is as natural as her love for Jack-in-the-box tacos.

Central to Meghan Markle’s persona has always been her need to be the one to "coordinate...organize...facilitating", she told Harper's Bazaar. Markle has described herself to have always been "a little nerd", whose sense of self was deeply tied to "being the smart one". This incessant need to take charge of events would bleed into her post-curricular activities, with her friends throwing caution to the wind, and letting "Meghan...be the host", particularly while playing the mock version of the 90s dating show Studs. 

Meghan Markle's childhood enthusiasm for organization and leadership was far from casual. Her role as the host in those childhood games reflected her genuine enjoyment in bringing people together and managing the flow of events. She has spoken openly about her fondness for organizing time and again, and even to Harper's Bazaar, wearing it like a badge of honor, and letting it shape her perspective and approach to life. Markle's ability has even laid a foundation that supports her multifaceted career today.

Who needs a crown when you can reframe your life as a master organizer and host? Meghan Markle is turning her nerdy childhood dreams into a real-world empire.

The skills Meghan Markle honed as a self-professed "nerd" have blossomed into multiple successful ventures. Her recent Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, has become one of the most prominent manifestations of this. The show not only showcased her contemporary lifestyle, peppered with warm rituals, but also presented her as the leading presence anywhere she goes or hosts. Debuting in early 2025, the series has already become a prominent manifestation of Markle's evergreen desire to engage and inspire audiences through thoughtful facilitation.

Meghan Markle’s journey from a young girl playing host for a dating game to a prominent media figure only seems a credit long overdue. Her ability to coordinate and facilitate meaningful connections remains a hallmark of her public and private life. Whether through her Netflix series or her philanthropic work, Markle has embodied the same qualities that once made her the natural host in her childhood—a hostess, undefeated.
