During an interview with Variety, the Duchess of Sussex explained how her Californian upbringing influenced how she moves on from anger, sharing: "I've done a lot of internal work — I'm from California, it's in the water — and whether you're exercising or meditating, you’re sometimes asked to picture a person that makes you angry.
