Meghan Markle’s 2014 blog post seemingly debunks claim she knew nothing of royal life
“I went into it naively because I didn’t grow up knowing much about the royal family," Markle claimed to Oprah Winfrey last week
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Meghan Markle — who claimed to Oprah Winfrey last week that she never thought what it would be like to marry a prince — blogged about dreaming of becoming a princess seven years ago, a new report says.
"Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power,’’ wrote the now-duchess of Sussex in 2014, while commenting on the "pomp" surrounding Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding three years earlier, according to The Sun on Sunday.

"We’re definitely not talking about Cinderella here," said Markle, who married Prince Harry, William’s brother, in May 2018.
"Grown women seem to retain this childhood fantasy. Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding and endless conversation about Princess Kate," Markle mused.

"It wasn’t something that we followed," she said.
Winfrey replied, "But you were certainly aware of the royals."

Winfrey asked, "So you didn’t have a conversation with yourself or talking to your friends or thinking about what it’s like to marry a prince, who is Harry — who you had fallen in love with — and what it would to be a part of that family? You didn’t give it a lot of thought?
