I have to disagree- I don't see how Grace could realistically have returned to acting, even though she missed it. Just as it is not realistic for Meghan to continue acting if she and Harry marry.
Rainier was only 6 years older than Grace, not that much IMO. Not the 13 years between Charles & Diana.
The 1960s was a completely different era. Also, being a member of the Grimaldi (Monegasque royal) family is not the same as being part of the British royal family. I don't think that Grace could have exactly returned to being a leading lady in Hollywood. Of course not. But there were probably cameo roles she could have done, as well as television guest spots at the time when she was pining for her career. Eventually, in the late 1960s and 1970s, Grace participated in narration/hosting work in films.
During the early 1960s, Grace was not happy having to cut herself off completely from her former profession and acting colleagues. Rainier simply held tight to the reins in the early years of their marriage. Six years is still a lot of years older, but the main point is Rainier was moody, macho, authoritarian and set in his ways. Also, they didn't really know each other very well before marrying.
I am sorry but you think Meghan didn't attend the wedding so not to steal attention
Even if the media had got wind of where the wedding was, Meghan would have been a small fish in a giant ocean of celebrities. Serena wasn't going to be outshone by Meghan. With the likes of Beyoncé in attendance, that was not a concern. Even if Harry had been able to attend, there would be little concern.
It would be like the couple attending Harry's friend's wedding in Jamaica. Nor was security an issue, as Serena went well out of her way to have it highly secured for their privacy. This is not the UK, where the tabloids are blood thirsty for photos of Harry and his girlfriend. Not that they would have got any.
Meghan didn't attend as she was still filming
Suits.
Meghan was on the
Suits set, sure. I believe filming was being wrapped or had essentially wrapped. There may have been some additional work with voiceovers or last day logistical stuff to attend to, saying goodbyes, etc.
I totally disagree that Serena's wedding would have been like H&M attending the Inskip wedding in Jamaica.
Not the same at all. Different countries, different venues, and completely different logistical concerns. The Jamaica resort was a private club where the media were definitely not supposed to be able to gain access. Probably money exchanged hands with locals and the intrusive paps, which enabled the paps to get near enough to the resort with telephoto lenses. The Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans is nothing like a private resort in Jamaica, IMO. The main similarities are high class, expensive venues with VIPs in attendance. Obviously, the Inskips' guests were more of the British aristocratic jet set, and Serena's guests were a mix of high profile sports stars, entertainers, fashion industry cognoscenti, and Hollywood celebrity jet set.
When I said that Meghan did not want to 'outshine' any bride as being the reason she didn't attend Patrick's wedding, nor Pippa's ceremony, I am referring to the unwanted media attention. It's not about Meghan having more fame or stature or anything like that. It's about the laser focus of attention that has been on her ever since the news broke last November that she was dating Prince Harry.
Simply because Serena's wedding venue was in the U.S. doesn't mean that had Meghan attended there wouldn't have been additional hordes of paps from the U.K., and other countries eager to get snaps of Meghan (which I'm sure at this point are worth a lot of money). Remember that Meghan has been keeping an extremely low profile, and her security detail has been beefed up. No matter how much security Serena had, Meghan would have had to be accompanied by her own security protection.
And once again, this has nothing to do with any kind contest as to who 'outshines' someone else. It's not about that, it's about the OTT media attention that right now has been bombarding Meghan and Harry. There's no way H&M would have wanted to attract that kind of attention (amidst a slew of prominent celebrities) at a time when they are trying to remain low profile and are in the process of navigating their way toward their own anticipated engagement and wedding.
I don't think there's any way that had Prince Harry attended, there wouldn't have been an even larger contingent of media and paps focusing much of the attention on Harkle. And obviously H&M had other commitments, as did some of Serena's other friends. Most likely Meghan has already sent Serena wedding and baby gifts, and probably they keep in touch. But both of their lives have been quite busy and filled with the happiness that love can bring.
If she can.....that is exactly why I think she will Thanksgiving and quite possibly time at Christmas. This will be the last year, unless the engagement is really far off, where she wont have to consult any schedules to whether she can or not. She wont have job commitments and she isn't a member of Harry's family yet to consult them. Think she will enjoy the freedom to still go home when she can, while she has it.
Bring on the hot tub!
