^^ I doubt that Eugenie receives anywhere near the attention that William and Harry receive, especially not internationally.
@Curryong, I understand what you are saying, as I too did wish to see Meghan attend the ceremony as any other normal guest. But after what
The Sun did the day before on their cover page, no, I think M&H made a wise decision not to give any of the media much of anything to write about on the day, except Pippa's and James' wedding.
The Sun wasn't able to do much with a barely distinguishable photo of M&H through a car windshield.
It's the media that is crazy, and that's where the blame lies regarding royal girlfriends having to be protected from media hounding. And Harry was determined after his previous experiences to keep any new relationship out of the public eye for as long as possible. He said as much in one of his old interviews about wanting to meet someone he could get to know privately so that they could become comfortable with each other out of the glare of the media spotlight. That is what Harry was able to do with Meghan. And it's been unfortunately necessary to continue staying out of the public eye in order to preserve their privacy. But recall that they did saunter out last December to purchase a Christmas tree without paps getting wind of it. They have to pick their spots and strategize. That's how it goes in the fishbowl of royal life.
Yes, there are sane people of goodwill who are interested in following the relationship between Harry and his girlfriend, and then there are apparently a lot of jealous trolls, and/or royal haters who never have anything good to say.
As I mentioned in my previous post, H&M's relationship needs more time, and likely Harry and Meghan do confer with their trusted friends and advisors, as well as use their own common sense and experience to make judgment calls about public appearances together at this stage.
I doubt that more appearances in public together at this point is going to calm the media down. No, there would just be increased OTT speculation and unwarranted frenzy accompanied by made-up stories. The sensational over-focus on the polo match kiss I found ridiculous. I am interested in Meghan and Harry as real, down-to-earth, charming young people, not as objects of myth, fairytale or fantasy.
Look at this interview with Harry from about five years ago. He seemed rather reflective and somewhat forlorn about being a royal prince hoping to find someone
"willing to take on the role" of dating and marrying him and 'the firm.' Sure there were probably giggling groupies and willing party girls eager to please, but for Harry to find someone he could truly love who could take on all the 'royal baggage' was something else again. Around this time, his relationship with Chelsy had come to its final end.

Interviewer:
Does royalty live up to the fairytale?
Harry:
Ummm, no not at all... (laughs) as any girl will ever tell you. Sort of, 'oh my God, he's a prince.'
And now, Harry has finally met his match in Meghan Markle. No wonder Harry is usually grinning from ear-to-ear these days and seeming to feel more comfortable and purposeful with the direction his life is taking.
As far as negative sites and commentary, try to avoid partaking of it, if you can @Curryong. Who cares what trolls think? Nothing will ever satisfy such reprehensibles.
