One's a British duchess; the other American royalty. Why it simply seems destined that Meghan Markle and Michelle Obama would become friends.
, Obama relating hard to the glaring spotlight Meghan found herself in once she swapped her career as an actress for one as an official working royal, a job description that boils down to affecting positive change in the world and doing good for others.

Try as we might, there's only so much we can control. And, boy, have I tried—especially at first.
Through that, she continued, she's learned"that my job is not to bulldoze a path for them in an effort to eliminate all possible adversity. But instead, I need to be a safe and consistent place for them to land when they inevitably fail; and to show them, again and again, how to get up on their own."More importantly, she summed up, reflecting back on the past two decades, she knows now how crucial it is to simply take it all in.
