Duke and Duchess of Sussex, General News 2: December 2018 - February 2019

Well, thanks. I guess there's all kinds of tea. Mint mixed with caffeine doesn't cut it for me.

In Meghan's case, she is most likely avoiding caffeine, being pregnant, so yes, herbal mint tea, is what I'd bet. No need for us to split hairs, as we are in the same ballpark in this instance I do believe.

She must not have been counting the days of those 6 months it seems. Quite odd for someone who was eager to escape the clutches of the American wrench, the Destroyer of all Good and British.

Ha no kidding. Looks like somehow Samantha is managing to hang in there!

Seems like I remember that she doesn't drink caffeine even when not pregnant.

I guess Meghan lifted the ban because Harry was drinking tea as well.

Worse, he had coffee.

She does. She's talked about her morning routine before and it involved coffee. And she had a cappuccino when they went to the cafe in Edinburgh.

Coffee (caffeine) in moderation will not kill anyone. From what I've read about DoS Meghan, she seems to be about staying in balance, without going to any one extreme. Our bodies have a remarkable capacity for healing when we eat in balance, exercise, meditate, do yoga, think positive, connect with others, give back to others, stay positive and glass half-full while avoiding petty noise and negative people. I think that's Meghan in a nutshell.

Meghan has reportedly said she tries to eat healthier, including some vegan meals, during the week. She also eats sushi, cooked salmon, perhaps lean chicken or turkey occasionally, but mostly fish and salads. And then she indulges on the weekend in foods such as french fries and Reeses peanut butter cups. (I personally would substitute sweet potato fries instead of french fries on occasion, although I'm not immune to well-prepared and tasty french fries or breakfast fries/ hash browns slathered in melted cheddar cheese)

Obviously now she had to put away sushi.

Most sushi places have a special mama menu cutting out what expectant mothers can't eat.

If Meghan likes coffee but has given it up while pregnant, I wonder if the "ban" on Harry drinking it is more of a "could you not drink it in the house because it would be hard for me to smell it and not have some".

[Zaira]

I honestly don't think she has banned him from anything. Harry is a grown man and able to make decisions for himself. He has been changing his diet and more focused on health for a few years now--even predating Meghan.

Harry said awhile back, during the BBC radio interview, that he isn't a coffee drinker really. Perhaps he is now, hence getting a coffee yesterday. Maybe the TRUE story is Meghan made him a coffee drinker

[Cocoasneeze]

All these 'Meghan has banned Harry from...' stories are silly imho, and debunked clearly by no other than Harry and Meghan.

Duchess was seen yesterday leaving the restaurant in Notting Hill

DM needs to get their facts straight. Amy is not Meghan's assistant. She's her Assistant Private Secretary. Which is vastly different.

I remember he had cappuccino envy in Edinburgh. He initially turned it down when they asked both if they wanted something. Meghan ended with a cappuccino and he kept looking at it. So they asked him again if he wanted one. He turned it down again, but you know he was having doubts.

Maybe not drinking caffeine is part and parcel of quitting smoking for a healthier life.

Nah, he’s picked it up since then. He had a caffeinated drink while Meghan had mint tea in Birkenhead.

[Terri Terri]

Oh ok! Well at least he quit smoking!

I recall some people thinking that Meghan will begin to tire of all the security and not being able to leave the house at the drop of a dime to go on excursions with friends. Well, I highly doubt that. I think she's able to gather with her and Harry's friends very privately and still have a blast without prying eyes of the public scrutinizing her every move.

We really don't have a clue about how wonderful the perks of being royal might be, especially for someone who never dreamed of being royal and had her own successful life beforehand. While some things are restrictive now for Meghan, there are probably perks and luxuries to be enjoyed that are simply out of this world! This, especially for someone who enjoyed the good life to begin with, as Meghan did prevously, even without being royal. Now her life and vacations are even more exclusive, as well as securely protected. She doesn't appear to be too bothered about having RPOs to escort her around.

Does Meghan get money after the films yet, in them she played? I mean as the musicians get money after their music will be played in the world...

[Heavs]

As a series regular on Suits she would most likely get residuals from reruns and other shows/TV movies she did, albeit not much in some cases.

She would definitely be entitled to monies for SUITS once it went past its 100th episode. When the show goes into syndication, she would likely be collecting a check from NBC studios for whatever amount they had agreed upon in her contract. Sometimes, it's enough money where if you have middle class lifestyle, you could live comfortably off it together with a regular income.

I doubt she’ll get any from movies she’s done, as she was mainly a bit player at best supporting, and she was not of high enough profile to be given residues (she might have asked).
She may get some from Suits (edit: looks like the show went past it’s 100 episode last season), but again she was a supporting actress and the contract she had when she left may have well been the same she signed when the show began - which mean whatever percentage she may get will be very minor. You must remove, Suits was not (and still is not) a highly watched or known publicized show (even among the cable & low rating shows), I highly doubt it will have much syndication prowess once it’s run will be over- as is the case with most similarly low rated and barely known shows.
