Instant popularity indeed
.
I think one of the biggest mistakes
Meghan made, and I’ve heard this from sources close to her, is that she naively went in thinking this role came almost with an instant popularity.”
I listened to (ArthurEdwards??) who’d been a royal photographer for many years talking about how much he loved Harry, and how he’d always been ‘one of the lads’ on press shoots, taking all the press out for a drink afterwards etc. He said he suggested to Harry that he should bring Meghan along to meet the press, let them get to know her and vice versa. Harry would have none of it. It would have been the perfect opportunity to get the press on side, for her to admit she gets stuff wrong, show some humility and generally just try to get to know them all a bit. If she’d done that then maybe she’d have come across a bit better and gained some support from both the press and the public. Obviously it was far to much to ask of her
. She wanted to be adored without proving her worth. Respect needs to be earned and it was all too much hard work for her.
