Yeah I don't believe in destiny etc. You need to have common goals and maturity to make it work. They never had that. LaRae
I do.
I think Harry and Meghan meeting was destiny. But I also think there are many destiny meetings.
IMO Chelsey was never in a place to commit to Harry. Plus she would have suffered badly in the press had she agreed to marry Harry. She was being gone after pretty meanly in the tabloid press. The majority (from what I recall) felt she was 'not suitable', hard drinking partier that she was. There were fears of a Sarah Ferguson debacle. It never would have been easy and Chelsey knew that and bailed. If one really looks at Chelsey she just wouldn't have been into the straight jacket of royal life doing events and what all.
Cressida was in a place to marry Harry, I think, she was young enough and starry eyed enough to go through with it had Harry not been a jerk. It would have been a friendship-kind of marriage, I think, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but Harry was a bit too blasé about her. She really was a friend with benefits kind of deal, I think. We'll never know, of course, but she dodged a bullet imo, though she was hurt when he did what he did around that wedding. Jerk.
Both women, in agreeing to be known as Harry's girlfriend, have brought down on themselves the onerous spotlight of social media. Cressida is an actress and the way she handles it all is in accordance with her profession. Chelsey is not obligated to anyone to conduct her life in any way but the way that suits her. Neither woman needs to go into purdah because they dared agree to be Harry's announced girlfriend. JMO.
One has only to look at Harry now to realize how 'true love' has transformed him. There was a photo of Harry and Meghan on the balcony at the Trooping: several. One they are looking at each other and the love coming off them is palpable. There is another photo where Meghan is looking forward, Harry is looking sideways at her with a smile: his pride and love for her is heart melting. They've already been through a lot: Meghan's family stuff, her father stuff, and every step from here on out just seals the deal more and more. As you say, Pranter, they are mature, they know what they have agreed to and they are clearly in it for the long haul. (Meghan especially. I don't think people are really cognizant of what Meghan gave up and walked away from. Most would kill
to have her prospects at that point in her career. She walked away for love. Impressive).
It is an amazing relationship to watch. Chelsey and Cressida are from another time and place (like all of us have in our lives). Meghan was 'the one' and it is a beautiful thing to see.
