I remember the uncomfortable moment on the Balcony after Trooping the Colour when Harry appeared to turn and speak harshly to Mehan for talking while the national anthem was playing. For those who wish to know how hard it is to learn the verses I would say, this was not Meghan being discourteous but rather a culture clash.
I remember when in theatres the national anthem was routinely played before the film or the first act. It was automatic, the moment the first bar played everyone stood and sang the national anthem. Now in this case it appears that Meghan didn't react like us. Could it be that when we hear "God save our gracious Queen" Meghan heard "My Country 'tis of thee", an American patriotic song but not the National Anthem?
It takes more than learning the words to a song, in her case it was re-writing a song she has heard all of her life. And how many times did she slip up?
The same culture clash is present here. Americans are adamant that they do not bow to anyone while the BRF do. For Harry to spring a meeting with his Grandmother on his fiance on her unprepared I am sure she was shocked, would the Queen like her, how would she talk to her, trying to remember how to curtsey all the while wondering if her dress was up to scratch. At least she is able to laugh at herself which is better than being mortified. Ah, reports, those nifty little things that are leaked to the media or to an intermediary by the ubiquitous "someone". We have no actual proof that the Queen wanted Sophie to mentor Meghan, and it has been suggested that Lady Susan and Sir Christopher Geidt were also tagged to mento her. I don't think Sophie would have been a terrific choice as she is the longest-lasting commoner married into the BRF. Lady Susan would have been of minimal help as a woman in her eighties and Sir Christopher was so power-hungry that he lost his place as gatekeeper to the Queen for preventing both Prince Charles, the heir to the throne and Andrew, a loved son, from seeing their mother. Angry words were spoken and Sir Christopher was reassigned as HM realised he could not continue in his current position. I wonder how caring, considerate and downright forthcoming such a man was to a divorced American commoner?
And here we go with the ubiquitous "they" who pave the way for the way the BRF wish to be perceived. The leaks and planted stories that come from the palaces "they's" tireless efforts to make Harry the fall guy for all that was amiss, even when in the company of his invisible older brother. Yes Harry and his mates were tearaways and yes I am sure that it took a sterling effort to sanitise the situation (not), otherwise, the media wouldn't have known enough to follow him and write about him in such a denigrating way.

So, what we know to be true is subject to the source and, in the case of the BRF, that is never disclosed. Hence the 'leaks' and 'planted stories. But one thing is clear, there are no innocents in this particular situation.
