I'm agreeing with those saying, that Meghan wouldn't be moving to UK only to date Harry. She'd be giving up her career, livelihood, privacy etc just to be someone's girlfriend. She wouldn't be able to work, just because she'd be stalked by the paparazzi, she wouldn't have any of the rights or benefits of a royal fiancé or wife, but would have all the rules and restrictions of one. And call me crazy, but I don't think Harry would expect Meghan to move to UK just to date him either. What I've seen from him in this relationship, IMHO he's more than willing to put on his half of the effort and work to make this work and to meet Meghan half way. He's very aware of the restrictions dating him causes, he wouldn't want Meghan to do all that foot work alone.
Exactly. From everything I've seen and heard from him, I think he would push for a balanced relationship, not one with Meghan having to take all the risks. Remember he released that statement because he knew how unfair it was that Meghan and her family was suddenly being harassed and attacked all because she chose to date him. I do not see him asking or expecting Meghan to take on even more of the burden or baggage that comes with his lifestyle without him having to make much effort or any sacrifices at all.
I also think that a person who has been divorced once and is the child of divorced parents may see the benefit in having spent time living in the same country as their significant other before a formal engagement.
You mean like the benefit in dating for years before an engagement/marriage, only for said marriage to end in divorce?
As I said, if you're in love and committed to one another, then I think any couple can tackle the challenges that may come with not having lived together or in the same country.
Meghan has already drastically altered her life without an engagement. She’s altered much of her public persona, she’s not promoted the show that she’s working on, she’s not pursuing other acting roles, she’s given up a clothing line, and she’s closed a lucrative website. All without a ring on her finger. To assume that she wouldn’t also leave Suits and move to the UK without a ring simply because she’s a strong independent woman is illogical.
There's a big difference between giving up side projects or altering your public persona and giving up your main source of income to move to another country without another job waiting for you. That's a huge sacrifice to make just to continue dating someone.
