Meghan Markle has "Greek foot" or "Royal Toe" and occurs in about 10-20% of the population

Here’s something you might not know about Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Sussex: She has a long toe. Well, two to be exact.

Meghan Markle has a condition called Morton’s Toe, which means that her second toes are longer than her big toes. This first became obvious to eagle-eyed observers when the Duchess wore sandals in recent months while traveling with her new husband, Prince Harry.

Morton’s Toe is a genetic condition in which the second metatarsal is longer than the first, making the second toe a bit longer than the big toe. It occurs in about 10-20% of the population. Morton’s toe is also called “Greek foot” or “Royal Toe.” How apropos for the newest member of the Royal family!

The term “Greek foot” came about because many Greek statues were sculpted with this same unique foot structure — ancient Greeks simply appreciated the aesthetics of it. But the toe syndrome extends far beyond the borders of Greece. In fact, none other than the Statue of Liberty herself has Morton’s Toe.

We can now add this real royal to the list of famous people (and statues) with the royal toe. As you can see in the photo below, from 2010 — years before Markle became the Duchess of Sussex — her second toe is distinctly longer than her big toe:

Sadly, some mean social media jabs were lobbed at Markle after pictures of her feet went viral. Hmm. Sounds to us like they are just jealous that the glass slipper fit Markle so perfectly.
