As closely as the media was following her in Canada (going to yoga, leaving yoga, buying flowers, dog to the vet etc etc) how'd she get out of the country without notice?
Perhaps she and Harry need to go to work for MI5?

Just some of my observations with not nearly enough caffeine in me this morning.

I gotta admit this statement made me say "huh?". As someone who was a royal watcher throughout the duration of the W & C courtship, I remember their young selves looking like a normal couple. So I looked up the pictures of them during their University years, when they were a new couple, and I don't see anything abnormal.

If you think Harry and Meghan will be "far more relaxed and at ease with each other than William and Kate appeared to be at first", then I think we are in store for some ultra mushy, blowing each other air kisses, pictures form H & M. If W& C pictures are the benchmark comparison.

Remember the pic of Meghan walking down the Kensington high-street? She had a cap on, big jacket and boots. Someone at the DM looked out the window and said there's Meghan Markle and took a pic.
I wouldn't know her from that pic but it's clear people do recognise celebrities when they're out and about. Harry's face is known all over London. Hat on or not.
Chris Evans said on the BBC he walked right into Meghan although he said at the time he thought it was Pippa Middleton.
I hope H&M are able to conduct their relationship outside of prying eyes but if they're out and about in public together that doesn't seem likely.

Catherine shops all the time. Sometimes we get a little story about her in a store, but get no pics. The owner or other shopper go to the press with the story. It's just not about getting publicity, but some people want to brag about their royal encounters. Nothing wrong with doing so.
I think people are growing impatient on the lack of pictures of the couple together. So am I, but we cant start throwing every little story away because no one bothered to get a picture of the couple. Even veteran royal correspondent, Peter Hunt, wrote about the story for the BBC NEWS online. The story is true, but with no pics.
Now, we just have to wait for this couple to emerge in public as a couple. They're likely just taking their time in doing so. They're have been lucky to not have their privacy violated...so far.
We have grown spoiled of the paps hounding the royals privacy to get some pics. We're pretty much used to the paps practically killing themselves to photograph royal couples on private and public outings.

So they should just stay in I guess. Never leave, maybe Meghan is still in her apartment in Toronto? Maybe Harry went to get the tree with Pippa......

No one in their right mind wants another C&D situation. It's 2016 almost 2017...let the royals pick their own spouse. William did pretty well with Kate. They've already surpassed his parents in terms of sucess and he's not even the PoW yet.

I have no clue why the tree shop would make up this story, if it isn't true. It would be really bad PR for them to be revealed making up the story. It seems like they rang the tabloids to get their name out there, this is the time to do it, for their business.
They're not however on trial giving description of a crime happening. They're gossiping about celebs buying from their shop. Whether Harry carried the tree on his shoulder or under his arm doesn't really matter, does it? He might've done both. I liked hearing how friendly and easy going Harry and Meghan were, though.

How can it be proven they made it up? Not likely Harry is going to issue a public statment about it. So far it's a lot of free advertising for them I'd say.

I guess Harry should make his people happy, find the proper titled english rose and suck it up for his country. It has been one month and Meghan has been torn to shreds for dating, walking, shopping, doing her job.

Well apparently some random Christmas Tree shop with an American who does'nt even know Meghan OR Harry just lied for publicity. So that means Meghan is not in London and Meghan and Harry are not together.....waiting for someone to say that Meghan set this all up!

I think it's possible for someone to question the authenticity of the 'tree story' without that meaning they don't believe Meghan and Harry are dating.

After the statement he sent out, who knows. Meghan also has her own publicist, doesn't she? For a Christmas tree shop to come up with a story about Meghan and Harry buying a tree from them, a detailed description of their discussion sounds just way out there vs they simply bought a Christmas tree. I bet other customers weren't even paying attention to a couple buying a tree, they were most likely concentrating on finding their own tree.

Meghan and Harry are dating. That much we know because Harry said so. Everything else is just gossip.
Maybe the tree story is true, maybe not.
The beauty of not having pics or corroboration is you can say pretty much say anything.
Now if M&H visit a Christmas market and multiple people see them and cell phone pics emerge, that's a different story.
Not denying they're a couple but we need to take 'sightings' with a grain of salt.

There has always been a connection between W&K and we see it in little gestures like the hand on the back and looking at each other. I just believe that William is a much more reserved in public than Harry is. It was the same with The Queen and her sister. Elizabeth was the reserved one to Margaret's free spirit.

Yes for sure we still see that and I've always thought it neat because it really does tell us the state of their relationship to some degree.
I had forgotten about all the old pics (it's been a few years!). Very true about the Queen and Margaret comparison. I'm sure the Queen has noticed the similarity as well.

This is just not right! He will not be under any pressure from the BRF if thats what you mean by "his people". Why should they? Succession is sorted, they have let him literally do what he wants - no pressure of any kind.
The only comments in the UK press have been positive. THe British people wont be worried about Meghan - they would just want him to be happy and for the marriage to last.
If you are using Mail Online as your source of UK opinion, then you should stop because it is Troll Central (including contributers) and does not reflect British opinion.
She is not being torn to shreds by the majority of people - its just the people you are finding on social media.
This isnt directed specifically at you but to all the posters who seem to have this really odd idea of how we British feel.
We are ok with this.

It is good to see another point of view. The Daily Mail comment section is depressing.
