Meghan Markle loves word games

While speaking with Variety, Meghan spread the news that she is very enamored with word games. One that she loves, in particular, is the popular Scrabble. “Hi, I’m Meghan, and I play a mean game of Scrabble,” the Suits alum shared. “Especially timed Scrabble. It’s something that I’ve loved for a long time.”

But Scrabble isn’t the only word game that the Archwell Foundation co-founder seems to enjoy. Like many others, the California native also really enjoys the New York Times game, Wordle. In fact, the web-based word game is part of Meghan’s nightly routine. After putting her kids, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor to bed, she often indulges in trying to guess the word of the day.

The ‘Archetypes’ podcast host is very good at ‘Jeopardy!’

Of course, Meghan doesn’t just love word games. Despite not watching a ton of TV, the royal is also a fan of the popular game show, Jeopardy! “I’m very good at Jeopardy!” the princess exclaimed in the aforementioned interview. Long-time fans of Meghan won’t be surprised by the news that she’s got some skills when it comes to Jeopardy! especially considering her educational background.

While studying at Northwestern University, Meghan double majored in theatre and international relations. She’s always had a love for politics in addition to her love of acting. At 20, the 90210 actor worked at the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Naturally, through her studies and life experiences, she’s picked up a fair amount of knowledge that comes in handy whenever she’s watching the game of trivia.

Meghan loves cooking and makes a mean pasta sauce

Another fact about Meghan that may be news to her fans? The mom of two loves spending time in the kitchen. “I love to cook,” she shared. “I don’t know if a lot of people know that, maybe they do. But I also make a really solid bolognese sauce.”

Of course, bolognese isn’t the only staple in the royal’s kitchen. She’s tried out tons of recipes in her adult life. She even shared some of her favorites with fans through her old blog, The Tig. Unfortunately, for fans, The Tig has been shut down for a few years. But perhaps Meghan will share some of her personal recipes again at some time in the future. Personally, we’re always up for trying a good bolognese sauce.
