I think time and again what shows is how unable and/or unwilling Meghan was to adapt to the system. It doesn't matter that it does need modernising. She isn't the one to do it. She either had to learn to be a cog in the wheel or she wasn't going to fit. No one is reay to blame for that except for maybe Meghan herself who refused to even try. But she probably thought that it was killing her.
She didn't know what it is like. She thought she would have the platform she always wanted so people would listen to her. That isn't it. It is public servitude.
I agree very much in what you say.
I think some forget that the RF is a business, too and everybody royal or not who marrying into a business run by family members will tell that the new one has to adapt, accept and slowly grow into what has proofed right for the majority if the family and the business being succesfull. This is the way it works, if you marry a farmer or a prince.
M. gave it no chance, she went too fast, wanted to change too many things and did not get the idea of serving the monarchy/people but putting herself first.
By the way I never saw the often described perfect and undependant frist class actress and humanitarian or fighter for women's rights, I think the media then put it much too positive about Meghan. What I saw was a woman twinkering way to much, unable to walk her heels, sometimes very unsafe but then rushing into her own sort of thing instead of taking advice, waiting and learning from others who do the job successfully.
Maybe she really thought her advanced age, "career" (whatever that means") and Harry's good reputation would push her to the top immediately, of course then not being conscious that this is not the idea of being a working royal.
And excuse me, but her artificial twinkering, looks , running to the frontline for photos and patting and mothering Harry as if he was a little child and not the experienced royal he should be, she thought she had a plan maybe but it went terribly wrong so far.
It is a while mess and will end in a tragedy, don't know which sort if but things like this never end positive.
And to come back to what I wrote about business run by family now they seem still not to have understood anything. Meghan ok, she was not royal and obviously not smart enough to get it, but Harry he should have gotten the basics, he was born into the business and now puts every little spit same level wether it is only business or family matters, but there is a distinction between the two.
nobody mentioned the subtitle : making a modern royal family
I wonder if the book tells how the two wish the future (not theirs, of course as they are out) and if they really think their way could give good example to other royal couples?
And again the point for me to either laugh or shake my head , thise two are really off limits but in a negative way.
