Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

In a 2015 interview with InStyle – one year before she even met Prince Harry — Meghan Markle talked about how to be a "girl boss" and the art of rising above toxic drama. The interview resurfaced after Harry and Markle announced plans to become "impact partners" and investors of a financial technology firm called Ethic. "I think the biggest part of being a girl boss in the office, at home, or anywhere you go is just knowing your value," she told the outlet. "As you get older, you become more comfortable in your skin and comfortable in saying 'no' to things."

In addition, she stressed the importance of not getting caught up in drama — both in and out of the office. "You'll be endlessly happier for it. If you want to do that, save that for drinks after work with your girlfriends," she explained.

Social media users were quick to point out that well before entering the royal family, the Duchess of Sussex made it clear she wasn't going to put up with any disrespect, with one writing, "2015 Meghan Markle already knew her worth," on Twitter
