You’d have to made of strong stuff to marry into the royal family. The boys didn’t ask for any of it so they’re lumbered but to actually choose that? You’d have to be really sure you could cope.
Kate seems to be made for the job.
I’ve never seen suits so have no idea if Meghan is a good actress or not but maybe she’s just feeling stifled and wants to get back to her real job/life?
I don’t imagine you can fully prepare for the reality of being married to a Prince

I watched Suits so knew of her when Harry introduced her to the public , she played a great role in the series, lovely character and I would say she is a good actress , maybe too good 😉😂 i was really pleased for them both but stupid me thought she was sweet little Rachel from Suits and she appeared that way until they got married . There is no doubt that the press were on their tale but sometimes you reap what you sow and when you are in the public eye as prominent as they are you know darned well that you will be scrutinised over your decisions , maybe the public just expected too much from them when they wanted to be private but they soon lost the warmth from the public that was there when she was first introduced , that doesn't happen for no reason and the press can't be blamed for all of it .
I too think that their card is already marked and the press will continue to hound them for any snippets they can get, very sad really but I just think they could have handled things better and might then have got some sympathy in the process .

Good for them leaving, the press have treated them badly.
Not much said in the press about Prince Andrew... or that Prince William, the future king, having an affair.. that is all swept under the carpet

Prince William had an affair? Really? Is this true?

IT was in the news a few years back, so it must be true, as everything about Meghan is true that is written in the press ...

I guess there's acceptable news , unacceptable news and non proven news.
This is definitely the least unsavoury.

And the Palace are now trying to sort out " a workable solution " whatever that means , my interpretation is they want to try and somehow keep them in The Firm , which surely would result in letting them pick duties that suited them .
I think this drama is far from over when they leave, or should I say when Harry leaves as Meghan has already left .

I do think they should have had everything signed and sealed before they went public with this!
We have no idea how reasonable or unreasonable the family are though do we?

I can’t imagine that at all. Not that I’d have a clue! 😆

Apparently they had spoken to the Queen but the Sun were about to leak the story so they jumped the gun on the official announcement.
