This just in: Despite popular belief, Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle just confirmed that shes not, in fact, a vegan.
In a recent interview Her Royal Highness conducted with former First Lady Michelle Obama about being a force of change for British Vogues September issue (which Meghan guest-edited , btw), Meghan revealed that when she first asked Mrs. Obama to answer a few questions for the mag, it was over a very non-vegan dish. If you want specifics: "So, over a casual lunch of chicken tacos and my ever-burgeoning bump, I asked Michelle if she would help me with this secret project," the Duchess wrote.
So yeah, HRH hasnt been keeping things 100-percent plant-based. Or, at least, she hasn't while pregnant with Archiethough WH already suspected this. Despite Meghan describing her diet as sometimes plant-based in a 2016 interview with Best Health , saying, "When Im filming, Im conscious of what I eat. I try to eat vegan during the week and then have a little bit more flexibility with what I dig into on the weekends," it didnt sound like shed fully restricted her diet to meatless and dairy-free stuff.
And when WH asked Julieanna Hever, RD, author of Plant-Based Nutrition (Idiot's Guide) to weigh in and share whether she thought Meghan nixed all animal-sourced products from her life, she agreed. An unconvinced Hever said, " Meghans version could fall into the category of a more plant-based diet, or even more accurately, a flexitarian diet."

Still need convincing? Well, there's the fact that Meghan literally told everyone Harry popped the question over a roast chicken dinner back in 2017, and she probs didnt celebrate her engagement on an empty stomach.
