“To all my friends Tig. After nearly three great years on this adventure with you, it’s time to say goodbye to The Tiger“, wrote Meghan.
“What started as a passion project (my little engine that could) has turned into an incredible community of inspiration, support, fun and frivolity. You have made my days brighter and filled this experience with so much of joy.
“Keep finding those Tig moments of discovery, keep laughing and taking risks, and keep being ‘the change you want to see in the world.’
“Above all, never forget your worth – as I have told you time and time again: you, my sweet friend, are enough for me. Thank you for everything.”
The future Duchess then signed her farewell message with two kisses and her maiden name.

Meghan launched her lifestyle blog in 2014, where she shared fashion, travel and beauty tips, as well as recipes and interviews with inspiring women.
The inspiration for the website’s name came after she tasted a wine called Tignanello – nicknamed “Tig” – which she says helped her understand what wine experts meant when they spoke of the “body, legs and structure of wine”.
“It was an ah-ha moment at its best,” Meghan said. “For me, it became a ‘Tig’ moment – a moment to get it. From that moment, any new awareness, any new discovery or ‘ohhhhh, I get it!’ moment was a ‘Tig’ moment.”
