The women’s-focused site addressed issues of self-esteem and being biracial in Hollywood.
She wrote on the site:
After close to three beautiful years on this adventure with you, it’s time to say goodbye to The Tig. What began as a passion project (my little engine that could) evolved into an amazing community of inspiration, support, fun and frivolity. You’ve made my days brighter and filled this experience with so much joy. Keep finding those Tig moments of discovery, keep laughing and taking risks, and keep being “the change you wish to see in the world.”
Above all, don’t ever forget your worth – as I’ve told you time and time again: you, my sweet friend, you are enough.
Thank you for everything.
This announcement has rumors swirling that the secret reason for this decision is that things are getting more serious with her boyfriend Prince Harry.
One source shuts down this speculation.
“The Tig has been a labor of love for Meghan,” the source tells People, “but it’s a full-time job. She wants to focus this season of “Suits,” which just starting filming and spending more time in the field on her philanthropy.”
There has been no official statement from Kensington Palace over this decision.
Last year, just months after the relationship between Megan Markle and Prince Harry went public, the palace released a statement asking for people top stop harassing her online.
“It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm,” the statement read. “He knows commentators will say this is ‘the price she has to pay’ and that ‘this is all part of the game.’ He strongly disagrees. This is not a game — it is her life and his.”
