In a couple of days, Meghan Markle will be making history by becoming the first person of colour to marry into the House of Windsor. We've been keeping a close eye on her ever since we got to know of her soon-to-happen grand royal wedding. And we learnt that the former actress had apparently started a blog called 'The Tig' that focused on fashion, beauty, health and served as a vehicle for her to publicise her charity work. Now, while she was forced to wrap it up in order to marry the prince, we came upon the personal bits of advice she had shared on the channel and that was a list of five books that deeply impacted her. Here they are...

“I have long been obsessed with this book, and specifically with The Little Fox,” Markle wrote on her blog. “Even if I don’t revisit the entire existential text (masked as a children’s book), the chapter of The Little Fox unearths a truth in me that is always worth the check-in. And if my vouching for it doesn’t give it the badass quality you’re looking for, the film remake is due to be released soon with a star-studded cast. So there ya go, fancy pants,” she added.

“My mom gave me a copy of this book when I was 13 years old,” Markle wrote, “and to this day, I constantly circle back to the Don Miguel Ruiz classic for the simplest ways to simplify your life,” she added. We bet this one holds major importance in her life and bet it will impact you the same way as it did Meghan.

This book is a poetic and powerful call to reclaim our lives and find our own personal freedom. World-renowned high-performance trainer Brendon Burchard reveals that the main motive of humankind is the pursuit of greater personal freedom.

Of The Tao of Pooh Markle wrote and asked, “Aspects of Taoism told through the characters of Winnie the Pooh– I mean, does it get better?” This one sure seems like an interesting read and we can't wait to get our hands on this page-turner.

“A professor at Northwestern University had this book on our list of required reading for an Industrial Engineering class I took my junior year of college,” she said. “It was a seemingly odd choice, but at the end of the day, the takeaway was a self-empowerment and motivational bent that I apply to decision making in my life to this very day. It’s an invaluable quick read,” she added.
