de rigueur that last if one is to be royal these days.
I share the view that Meghan seems like she was made-to-order in many ways: career woman, own money, same charity interests, comfortable in public, including public speaking and being a clothes horse
And, importantly, experienced in life. She'll go into any relationship eyes wide-open (one would hope). But.....
To talk of engagement and marriage at this stage, when they met not even a year ago, and have likely been seriously a couple for far less, well....we don't want a repeat of the Charles/Diana whirlwind courtship.
It could get a little awkward after all, there are the carriage rides, and well come to think of it, if Beatrice can ride in a carriage at Ascot and join her boyfriend in the royal enclosure there really isn't any reason Harry couldn't do the same with his lady . . . I'm pretty sure the other royal ladies would love the chance to meet, greet and grill Meghan in his absence.
You are absolutely correct. It often seems that these days, being a feminist means having a career around which you try to fit children (if you really have to), and when you are a high flyer giving up work for the first few years of your children's lives is snarled upon.

However, it seems we reserve our nastiest invective to those who dare shun a career completely because they want to be a mother and are in the fortunate situation of being able to afford not to work outside the home. Pity those poor women who, when asked what they do, reply 'I'm a housewife'.
The first feminists got us the vote and 'feminism' as a slow moving force has gotten us many different basic human rights like equal pay for equal work, etc. But many of those who call themselves feminists these days would chain us to our office chair as surely as our grandmothers were chained to the home. They have forgotten that feminism was about the right to choose their future.
Think of the situation CP Victoria and Daniel found themselves. Expected to be an example to both Sweden and the world of Sweden's forward thinking and take parental leave! Amazing and here we are still having hissy fits over the fact that Harry's wife would have to give up her career and Harry isn't even engaged let alone married.
it's pathetic you attack modern women for not supporting house wives while slamming us for careers. Why don't the men stay home? If it's so important a parent is home. Because being a man its normal, a woman having dreams is selfish 
Peace Countess. I was responding to ladongas and agreeing that some of our harshest critics are women themselves. I was certainly not accusing posters of being nasty but of rather attitudes in the workplace such as those women who have to resign and find a new job when their child is either old enough for daycare or nursery school.i
And this is relevant how
We're not talking post marriage. We're not talking being a wife and mother. Which a royal can't be. They are expected to do royal patronages. No one on here can say if Kate said she was never going to do any events or patronages, she was going to stay home abd raise the kids, that we'd be happy, that it was her right as a female. Why? Because when she married a royal she didn't get just a husband, she took a job.
We're talking dating. There is no ring. There are no children. It isn't a choice to be a housewife. You have to be a wife for that to be a choice.
There have been posts suggesting if she was actually committed to Harry she would quit her job and make herself available. That is what I have issues with. Why does a woman Have to give up her life for a man? Why is it only women expected to quit a job to show they are committed?
Calling us nasty when you make comments about women 'fitting in children' quite nastily suggesting a working woman is selfish
Women should be free to make Any choice. They don't need to be shamed for selfishly 'fitting kids in' any more than staying home.
Meghan if she marries will have yo give up her career. There is no need for her before. Some women you're right choose to focus on finding a husband not a career. Obviously Meghan is not one. When she chooses to leave her career is her choice and not any sign of lack of commitment to Harry.
That's very old (re-published by British GH, from original article in US Good Housekeeping last August). Daily Fail is picking up the re-hashed story from The Telegraph. Not an ounce of anything that's new news there.
Dr Pepper traces are by far the most reliable source you know
