Of course, it's been a rocky start to the year for Meghan, having made the decision along with Prince Harry to step down from the royal family, all the while continuing her legal battle with the Mail on Sunday and the Mail Online. But she seems steadfast as ever in her mission to forge her own path, attending various engagements in the past few weeks.
