I’ve been reading all your comments and like, like, liking them all (sorry). But I agree with everything.
I haven’t watched the documentary and I doubt it will get shown here (NZ). But I’ve followed the coverage. I’ve noticed Brits aren’t buying it. But the US is all “let’s rescue Meghan!” - I get it’s their countrywoman but have they lost their minds?
Even if you don’t believe in stiff upper lips - and really we’re only asking for a stiff upper lip during what one event a fortnight? - surely you’d be thinking “that’s odd no one checked on her, she’s got all those celebrity friends! Didn’t Amal call?” “Didn’t Ellen say she saw them over the summer? She held the baby but didn’t ask how they are?” “Something doesn’t add up.”
I definitely think a break is a good idea, it was becoming a very public meltdown. I do think going to the US is a bad idea. The PR team will be in overdrive. She’ll be at Oprah’s and Mum will visit for photo ops (Doria carrying a bag of presents to her car, Doria returning with a giant photo of the couple - only Archie’s feet & Harry’s back, full face of Meghan). “Candid” photos of a happy Meghan.
She’ll be her “old self” before they got married, carefree California girl, whispering in his ear every night about how their life could always be like this. “See, everyone’s so nice. They respect I’m a hardworking, woman of colour, newlywed & mom here, I feel safe. Don’t you want your son’s mother to be SAFE?”
He’s not innocent, he’ll be adored by the public and press. And will love it.
He should be with his family working on his mental health, what does happiness look like to him really. But he’s weak and she will lock in even tighter. She’ll end up back in the US with or without him in the next few years.
The truth was when someone posted she said “my friends told me not to marry him...”. You wouldn’t be looking for approval on a way out if you really wanted it to work.
