Experts Have Analysed Meghan Markle's Handwriting & The Insights Are Fascinating

Bad news for those of you who can barely look the postie in the eye as you sign for a parcel: your shameful scrawl reflects something of your personality, handwriting experts claim. So what does Meghan Markle’s beautiful penmanship reveal?

Speaking to the Daily Express, graphologist Tracey Trussell examined one of Markle’s signatures left in a visitors book on a March 2018 visit to Belfast. A few sweet things Trussell notes? Firstly, Markle’s handwriting indicates her compassion. “The upwards endstrokes tell of a humanitarian side — she wants to do good deeds in life.” The Belfast signature also reveals her “passion and enthusiasm for life,” Trussell said. Plus, the little details Meghan adds to her signature, like the small hook on her capital M, suggest she’s dependable and trustworthy: she’s “likely to be extremely committed to whatever she undertakes,” Trussell said. Which all sounds pretty accurate, given the commitment to humanitarian work Meghan demonstrated long before becoming a royal.

As People reported in March, Meghan is trained in calligraphy; in fact, it was her job. Markle worked at a Paper Source store in Beverly Hills between 2004-2005, where she taught calligraphy as well as gift-wrapping and bookbinding. Winnie Park, CEO of Paper Source, told People, “It was her part-time job as she was going through auditions.” She added, “She taught calligraphy and hosted a group of customers and instructed them during a two-hour class on how to do calligraphy.”

Park said Markle’s creativity landed her the Paper Source role. “She’s someone who really enjoys the creative aspects of the job, who enjoys helping people and also someone who enjoys making creative projects come to life,” Park said.

As a freelance calligrapher, Markle created the invitations for Robin Thicke and Paula Patton’s 2005 wedding, People revealed. She also wrote a sweet piece about handwritten notes on her now-deleted blog, The Tig. “I think handwritten notes are a lost art form,” she wrote, as recorded by People. “When I booked my first [TV] pilot, my dad wrote me a letter that I still have. The idea of someone taking the time to put pen to paper is really special.”
