Well, taking everything with a "big "if", it appears there is perhaps some indication of 'speed' occurring in Meghan's public life. However, to refer to her lifestyle blog and contract with Reitmans as being "controversial aspects of her public career' beggars belief. We are in the 21st century and referring to ordinary "work" that the ordinary folk do for a living is somehow less than savoury and remember the word "actress" is no longer a polite euphemism for "lady of the night!".Yes if she is closing down some of the "controversial" aspects of her public career, I can only hope it's because she's moving to London/UK for a few months to see if they can make it work (like W+K spent time in Wales etc) before getting formally engaged. I don't have anything against a wedding late this yearor next but I also have experience of long distance relationships and always being in "honeymoon mode" when you see each other.I don't get why making her own money is considered uncouth, since she's not an HRH and she doesn't have taxpayer funds keeping her in royal style. She has every right to make money if she can and she had every right to be married before she met Harry. No one should live the life of a nun in the event that a prince might come along and want to marry her. She doesn't owe anyone an explanation of how she lived her life before Harry came into it.
As we have followed the 21st Century European royals grow up we have seen that they, just like many of their unroyal friends, have partied, had girlfriends/boyfriends and then lovers. No one was expecting William's marriage to entail a ritual virgin sacrifice but rather that he would marry the woman he had lived with for years and obviously loved. The same applies to Harry, as the years have passed we have all hoped he would find someone he could love and would love him back, even with the major drawback of his family circumstances.
To most of us, it seems that perhaps he has found that elusive lady and that unlike his brother, his dearest wish may come to fruition in a matter of months rather than years. If so, good luck and if not, well we can only hope.
