If the stories about a lavish celebbies-studded baby-shower on a premium location is true (if...) then Harry and Meghan have zero understanding of what a monarchy is, how vulnerable the institution is and how important it is not to turn it into a soap opera.
Can you even imagine a Mathilde d'Udekem d'Acoz in combination with "celebbie baby shower"? Or a Prince Willem-Alexander? He would ask: "Where is the vomit bag?"
That marriage with the Clooneys, the Winfreys and the Beckhams, that soap opera with the Markles, and now this. I really hope this is not true. This is so off-key with the rest of the nation who sees clouds and unsecurity because of Brexit. What should the families hit by closures and job losses think of all this? This is so wrong, so vulgar, so un-royal family.
If Meghan has/had a baby shower given by her friends it is nothing unusual for an expectant woman in the U.S.--it is not celebrity or soap opera. (My understanding is that baby showers were not as prevalent in Britain for anyone until more recently.)
Fact is, Meghan was a minor celebrity before she married Harry and so some of her friends are also celebrities. Is she supposed to cut her friends out of her new life?
The drama with a few of her paternal relatives is not Meghan's fault--the fault is theirs. No one should put their bad behavior on Meghan-none of us are responsible for our adult relatives.
Why is visiting friends and catching up, before the baby changes her life even more, wrong and vulgar?
