For getting married ? That is a pretty 'low bar' isn't it ?
I disagree- She is where she is [on this list] solely because a Prince fell in love with her, and she with him - that is all..
The page represents a person or persons who made an impact for better or worse and I looked at all the photographs, thought about who and what they were and what their impact was on our collective psyche. There were people I admired for their integrity and courage telling truth to power. There are others I despise for their venality that represents the very worst in mankind and just when you think you have hit rock bottom, they show us the basement.
There are situations that showed the tragedy of disasters that speak of man's inhumanity to man which broke our hearts and yet there are that movements and event that shine like a beacon in a very jaded world and show there is still hope. So, what does the DoS bring to the table? The world watched as Meghan and Harry charmed us as fell gloriously and demonstratively in love. We watched in wonder as they touched that secret, hidden place in our hearts that still believes in good versus evil, that love conquers all, that all is not lost.
We looked at Prince Harry (who had a noted penchant for blondes), fall in love and become engaged to a beautiful, dark-haired, bi-racial, divorced actress who is a smart, intelligent woman with a heart for charity. On 19 May 2018, this impossible modern day fairytale culminated in a wedding that was romantic beyond our wildest dreams. It seemed to emit waves of glorious warmth, a love so great we could see it for ourselves and a promise of unimaginable joy.
We live in a world that is more often intense, sad and deadly, weighed down by the total inequity that is the lot of our world but, for a short hour, we watched Meghan walk up an aisle and marry the man of her dreams and, for that short time we dared to dream with them.
Should Meghan nee Markle be on the list of finalists? I believe so.
