I think Meghan thought she was bringing some much needed glamour to the royal family, a bit of sparkle. And that she would be able to schmooze her and Harry to being the golden couple. But the RF doesn’t work like that. They would never be allowed to out dazzle the Queen, Charles, Will and Kate. Both their egos couldn’t take the delegation to bit players. So they went elsewhere to be global players, but keeping their titles because it is the only thing they have to offer. She is poised, clever, beautiful, strategic. Harry is a bumbler, he is Tim Nice But Dim, he is punching in that relationship despite his title. He thinks he should be more important than he is and he is jealous of William. It must be hard to be the spare and then fall even further down the pecking order, but apart from a dent to his ego, it wasn’t a bad life.I find it hard to feel sorry for him, or Meghan. They aren’t doing too bad for themselves, the continual victim status is wearisome. I would swap. Call me.
Simply having a royal title isn’t enough these days to have people blindly hanging off your every word however banal. The Queen’s send off was a testament to her long service. Going forward it will be very different. People are watching carefully what happens now. And will be more critical than they were when the Queen was in charge.
