Right @Curryong, I picked up on the Aussie reporter's errors. Why would the tabs have been investigating Meghan's background for going on two years, when she's only been dating Harry for one year! 'Canadian roots' may just mean the fact Meghan lives in Canada, but yes, it's not the proper reference exactly for an American who was born in L.A.
Yes, should M/H marry, Meghan would be acclimated to being accompanied at all times by security. But there's obviously a need for her to have the security right now, other than the reason for her to become accustomed to having security dogging her every step. As to your last sentence, I personally don't see why Meghan should have trouble learning the ins-and-outs of royal life. Sure it's apparently not easy, but she seems well on her way, more-so than we are probably aware of.
I mean seriously, Meghan would clearly by now know more than any of us regarding what some of us are speculating about with such presumptive authority. ? We don't know any of the details really about who Meghan has and hasn't met among the royals. We can be sure that she's met all of Harry's closest friends and advisers. But how would we know with specificity what Meghan has been privy to doing, seeing, and learning so far during her visits to London behind the walls of Kensington Palace?
I do agree with you on that score. Harry may even agree with you too.
It's good if he does realize that, and he probably does after the issues he's had with past girlfriends. It's also clear from the below 3-year old video on the occasion of the Queen's Jubliee, when Harry expressed a desire to find someone willing "to take on" the task of marrying him and all that entails. He joked about girls sometimes being put off exactly because of his princely status.
When the CBS interviewer asked Harry whether being royal lives up to the fairytale, Harry laughed awkwardly and said,
"No, not at all. As any girl would ever tell you, 'Oh my God, he's a prince.' But no, the job that it entails, I mean look at me, I'm 27-years-old, and um, um, [he sighs heavily and takes a deep breath] not so much searching for someone to fulfill the role, but obviously you know, finding someone that would be willing to take it on..."
Well it very much appears that Harry hit the jackpot with Meghan. But by now, it also seems that Meghan very much wants to be with Harry and that she's willing to give up her independence as well as a lot that she's worked hard for, because she cares for Harry. She must also feel that they can do good things together. So for all we know, their meeting was fated. Perhaps they were meant to be together, if you believe in romance. Not in fairytales and happy ever after. But in down-to-earth, genuine, heartfelt romance and fortuitous recognition of having found your soulmate. If that's the case, I wish them luck and all good things.
During the old CBS interview, Harry also said the very same thing that the media and everyone were needlessly getting so up in arms about him having uttered more explicitly in recent months:
"There's a lot of times that both myself and my brother wish obviously that we were you know completely normal, but we've been born into this position and therefore we'll do what we need to do to make a difference to the people and to kids that need it you know. It really is just that simple for us."
Harry also speaks of having had to attend a lot of 'dull' dinner parties as a child. When Harry gave this 2014 interview, he was probably despondent and reflective about wanting to meet the right person because he had likely recently parted with Cressida Bonas (they split in 2014).
