Meghan Markle says she and Prince Harry are experiencing a renewed “honeymoon period” as she rekindles her creative passions.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, shares that her husband is enjoying seeing her return to the entrepreneurial space with her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard and her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
“My husband met me when I had The Tig, and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me,” she says.
“It’s almost like a honeymoon period again,” she adds. “It’s exactly how it was in the beginning—when he’d watch me scribbling away, writing newsletters, fine-tuning edits, and really getting into the details. I think he loves watching as much as I love doing that creative process. It’s just been fun. This is who I’ve always been.”
Back in 2014, while starring in Suits in Toronto, Meghan launched The Tig—a lifestyle blog that shared her passions for food, travel, and wellness—long before the influencer era took off. But as her relationship with Prince Harry deepened, she closed the site in April 2017 and later deleted her personal Instagram as she transitioned into royal life.

Was it difficult to walk away? “Well, I loved The Tig, but I certainly love my husband more,” she says. “So that was a choice I made at the time, and I wouldn’t change that for a second.”
While Meghan pursues her creative ventures, the couple remains committed to their philanthropic efforts through the Archewell Foundation, with Harry, 40, continuing his charity work.
“I imagine that it’s the same as it would be for any couple,” she says. “You have your individual jobs, but then you have things that you share together.”
“We’ve been such a close team for so long that we’re just in it beat by beat with each other,” she continues. “And I love that. To be able to be a female founder and do that with my husband’s support means everything.”
Since their 2018 wedding, Meghan and Harry have built a life in Montecito, California, with their children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
