Not only has she perfected the curtsy and mastered her royal wave, but she's already started using her platform to make a difference in the world. According to ET, Meghan has Harry to thank for teaching her the royal ropes. The prince reportedly gave Meghan "a rundown of what's expected," and has been "taking care of her just like [Prince] William did with Kate [Middleton]."

During her visit to Nottingham back in December, a couple reportedly asked her for a selfie, to which she replied, "We're not allowed to do selfies." Even though the rule has become more relaxed over time, people should refrain from asking the royal family for an autograph or selfie because it is a breech of royal protocol. 5 / 8 6 She's Using Her Platform to Change the Lives of Others “Women don’t need to find a voice.

Even though Meghan has to wait until the Spring to decide what causes she'll champion, she's already talked about how she plans to "hit the ground running" in support of women's rights. While speaking at the launch of the Royal Foundation Forum in February, Meghan shed light on women's empowerment and voiced her support for campaigns like #MeToo and Time's Up. 6 / 8 7 She's Broken Protocol Image Source: Getty / CHRIS JACKSON At the Royal Foundation Forum in February, Meghan was photographed hugging a journalist. While royal protocol dictates that touching shouldn't go beyond a handshake, the British royal family are no strangers to breaking the rules, especially when emotion takes over. 7 / 8 8 She's Got the "Duchess Slant" Down Image Source: Getty / CHRIS JACKSON Meghan showed off her "duchess slant" when she stepped out with Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton at the Royal Foundation Forum in February. The move, in which the knees and ankles are kept together and the legs are slanted to the side to create a flattering silhouette, has become a go-to pose for Kate and it looks like she's passed it on to Meghan. 8 / 8 The RoyalsMeghan MarkleThe British RoyalsPrince Harry
