Funny thing is that some Harry's closest friends are married to Americans.....so they have close friends who have made the transition. Not only that the concerners are concerned how MM will fit in....I'm sure the American wives can help her out.
I know..isn't that interesting? Maybe Harry saw something about those Americans (dare we say a wave of modern Buccaneers has arrived?) he liked...that will certainly help Meghan with her transition if his closest friends have American wives. They can help her with various cultural things if needed.

Isn't Guy Pelly's wife American? Holiday Inn heiress? I forgot her name... and Zoe Warren is American too?
The money shot will be Guy, Bogart, & Lupo being walked in KP park by Meghan & Catherine
Not only does Harry have friends who married people from other countries (I can only recall the friend who married the hotel heiress from the USA) but his cousin Peter (Anne's son) married Canadian Autumn and his more distant cousin Frederick Windsor (Prince Michael's son) married Sophie (an actress) from the USA.
I think you will find that Sophie Winkleman (Frederick's wife) is British.
4. I'm just not sure how Meghan is supposed to win here. She needs to be more visible, but not too visible. She needs to prove her work ethic, but not actually do anything. She needs to totally remake herself into an acceptable British image, but on the other hand, everyone will continue to remind her "she's not one of them". I don't know, maybe it's just me, it just seems like the goal posts keep getting changed for her. That's why I think she and Harry are better off, doing as they see fit (with consultation from their family of course) because whatever they do, someone will be unhappy.
Pity she doesn't seem to have been present at Serena's wedding....
... [Meghan] has nothing to prove and as to those who talk about short long distance relationships followed by short engagements one need look no further than Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier.
This is the thing that drives me nuts about some of the commentary here.
How does a woman who has worked steadily at her current job for the past 7 years, worked within that career for years before landing the job, has run her own website that was making millions, has had a fashion line with a respectable clothing chain in her adopted country, and has a solid history with notable charitable organizations need to prove her work ethic?
There are others within the BRF whose work ethics have rightly been questioned, including Harry’s, because they have long periods of appearing to be doing very little (not necessarily doing little, but appearing to be doing little). But to question Meghan’s is absolutely ridiculous. She has made a career for herself. We shouldn’t be questioning her work ethic.
Extremely well said [@Ish] and Meghan is in the position of *Be d*mned it you do and be d*mned if you don't..........nothing is ever going to please everyone here or elsewhere. Just glad these 2 young people could care less what anyone thinks for they keep on doing their own thing without asking permission of anyone.?
I have to disagree- I don't see how Grace could realistically have returned to acting, even though she missed it. Just as it is not realistic for Meghan to continue acting if she and Harry marry.He refused to allow Grace to return to acting, which would not have been completely out of the question during the early 1960s had Rainier been reasonable and understanding about Grace's sense of loss regarding her acting career. In any case, I've read that Grace was more or less trying to please her parents and obtain her Daddy's approval by marrying Rainier. Her 'Daddy issues' is also probably the reason why Grace was romantically involved with so many older men prior to her marriage. Rainier and Grace barely knew each other when they married, so their swift courtship reality and age difference is somewhat more similar to Diana/Charles, and barely similar to Meghan/Harry.

Meghan was likely invited but had to decline for a number of reasons: work conflicts; tight security concerns for Meghan; (plus Serena apparently kept plans close to the vest with no details publicly known until very close to the date, so as to try and minimize press intrusion; Serena's guests had to sign strict confidentiality agreements and lock their cellphones, as Serena has signed an exclusive wedding coverage deal with Vogue's Anna Wintour -- said to be appearing in January 2018 issue of Vogue). Surely Meghan sent Serena & Alex Ohanian a wedding gift.
Let's face it though, Meghan's profile has risen to such a level that she does not wish to outshine any bride's big day, and that has incuded Patrick J. Adams' wife, Troian Bellisario (she's also 'mixed-race'), Pippa Middleton, and now Meghan's friend, Serena. There was a star-studded list of guests invited by Serena, from the entertainment and sports worlds, which is a scene that Meghan seems to be diverging from as her life takes an entirely new direction. Meghan wasn't even in a position earlier this year where she could attend Serena's 3-day wedding spa shower in Florida. If not for her relationship with Prince Harry, I think Meghan would have attended Serena's shower and the wedding ceremony, if her Suits work schedule permitted. Even some of Serena's other high profile friends had work conflicts.
I would anticipate that Serena and hubby Ohanian, will be invited to Meghan's royal nuptials (if they ever arrive ), along with the Suits crew. It's just that Meghan's life as a member of the royal family will be quite different, so we'll see how close Meghan will be able to remain with some of her former close acquaintances. Probably she will remain very friendly, but not as close due to diverging pursuits and lifestyles. Likely, Meghan's closest friends will always remain in her inner circle, including Jessica Mulroney, Lindsay Roth, and Markus Anderson.

Meghan will not continue acting on "Suits" but I will bet odds she will continue acting some. I have read that Harry is very supportive of her career. Harry is not going to let being a royal or married to one take Meghan over or have it dictate to her.
Just watch it all unfold.
