People keep trying to compare Meghan and this relationship to other BRF relationships, but there hasn't really been a royal girlfriend like her. Most of them did not necessarily have a career or other outside obligations that needed to be navigated. Well Sophie did, but she wasn't a public person at the time, so it was a little easier.
Sophie - when she married Edward - hadn't planned on being a full time royal - she thought she was going to keep running her business and not have to be in the firm, really.
( I was always said she wasn't able to continue her PR career, but I get why it didn't work. I still think she bring value to the BRF having had a career and run her own company.)
Honestly - I think the women who have worked before becoming royalty are turning out to be the best in terms of simply getting things done. Sophie is considered a favorite of the Queen because she has applied her work ethic and skills directly to her job and she's kicking @ss at it. Did Camilla work before she married into the BRF? Because she's apparently doing a great job as well. Maybe the more established you are as a career woman, the more capable you are at managing your patronages and charities and getting ish done. I think Meghan will be right in the mix, killing it a la Sophie.
