Daily Fail is a laugh riot.
The publications in England and across the pond in U.S. are apparently having a field day re this latest Meghan/ Harry sighting.
There's an interesting
Vanity Fair article (which I'm unable to link, but everyone can easily locate online). The VF article quotes comments supposedly from 'friends' who also attended the Inskip wedding. It's always speculative when unnamed 'friends' are quoted, so as with anything, take with a grain of salt. I think of this all in a lighthearted sense, and in a kind of instructive sense too, as royals and famous people are all human and they go through a variety of human emotions (that we all do), despite their living very public, larger-than-life existences.
It's kind of funny to feel like I know Harry just from seeing him grow up from afar from the time he was born. Of course, I don't actually know Harry or truly understand what his life is like. I feel for him having lost his mother at such a young age, and also for having to live in such a fishbowl. But on the other hand, there are numerous perks that come with being a British royal. I'm vicariously happy for Harry that he has found someone like Meghan. I never knew who Meghan was until the dating news broke in November (because I don't watch a lot of tv). Ever since, I have been interested in reading about Meghan, and I've also checked out
Suits, which I find to be a fun, well written, well-acted and well-produced show. From checking out videos, interviews, articles, Meghan's site The Tig, and her Instagram, I have become very impressed with Meghan. If Harry does win Meghan as his life partner, he will be extremely fortunate IMHO.
The VF article mentions that some of the wedding guests joked with Meghan and Harry that they will be next.
Apparently, over the course of their relationship, Meghan was already introduced to many of Harry's friends in his inner circle. And reportedly Inskip's bride, Lara Hughes-Young has become close to Meghan, as has Guy Pelly's wife, Lizzy Wilson (an American heiress -- her Grandfather founded Holiday Inn).
The 'friend' who supposedly offered these revelations to VF, also mentions that at first there was a 'cultural divide,' and that 'Skippy and co.,' possess
"a unique and often rude sense of humor, so it took Meghan awhile to get used to them, and vice versa." I have to laugh at that, because we don't know if this is accurate. Possibly it's true, and if so, it's nothing out of the ordinary. The 'friend' also mentions that 'Skippy and co,'
"joke about some of Meghan's New age philosophies." If true, I would imagine that the joking is all in fun. I think Harry's friends could probably learn something and benefit in ways they don't realize from adopting some of Meghan's so-called 'New age philosophies.' If Harry smokes, hopefully Meghan might eventually be able to encourage him to quit for his own good health's sake.
Since Meghan seems gung-ho on a healthy lifestyle, I would be surprised if she's a smoker!
The main thing I wonder about and question in the VF article is the implication that Harry's friends had to be 'won over.' I should think that as in any relationship, the 'winning over' of each respective partner's friends is mutual and goes both ways. Meghan is special in her own right or Harry would not have gone out of his way to pursue her, nor would he appear as comfortable and in love with her as he's been showing. From everything I've read and seen about Meghan, she seems very down-to-earth, kind, stylish, classy, smart, confident, articulate, funny, hard-working, a foodie, and a go-getter who is eager to experience fun adventures and the good things in life, as well as committed to giving back to others. Meghan's lifestyle website and her Instagram are filled with happy energy and positive inspiration.
Obviously, these are just my impressions of Meghan based on reading things she has written, viewing her entertaining Instagram pics, and enjoying her lifestyle blog posts, in addition to reading articles about her published before she met Harry, seeing her U.N. speech and viewing her many interviews on Youtube (Today Show, Larry King, Good Housekeeping,
Suits-related Q&As, photo shoots, Reitmans promos, etc.) It is very unusual for there to be so much public information already out there about one of the Brit Royals' girlfriends. That's part of what makes this relationship so intriguing, and not the least of it being that the majority of everything out there about Meghan is so positive and engaging.
Of course, I do agree there is some contingent of the public out there who are cluelessly vicious and negative in their commentary which appears to stem from irate and unaccountable jealousy of Meghan & Harry and/ or unhappiness and dissatisfaction with their own lives. But I don't see too much of those type of over the top views being expressed here.
like they had @ W&K's wedding.
