2. SHE HAS BEAUTIFUL HANDWRITING.
Some aspiring actresses pay their bills by working as waitresses. But Duchess Meghan had other talents, having taken calligraphy classes at school. “I calligraphed invitations, like Robin Thicke and Paula Patton’s wedding invitations,” she told Esquire. I also did it for Dolce & Gabbana celebrity correspondence during the holidays. I’d sit at my table and put a little white sock on my hand so I wouldn’t leave any grease on the card.”
The Duchess says it’s quite lucrative because few people know how to do it yet. What is the secret of this lost art? “The most important thing is to take your time,” she says. You have to make smooth movements, you don’t need a fancy pen, and you have to write in an authentic way.”
