. . . . . Meghan’s whole appearance was very special. Especially giving the award to someone she grew close to while working on her wedding dress. It’s just touching.
Everything will be fine when folks start accepting Meghan for who she is and stop making it seem like she’s acting or overdoing something.
That is an interesting point. Meghan is now the Duchess of Sussex
and she is no longer an actress. She gave up her home, her country and her lucrative job moved countries and married the man she loves.
The repetitive references to Hollywood are more than a little erroneous as in the mind of most people, Hollywood is where movies are made, not TV series. Further to that, Suits is filmed in Canada and you couldn't be further removed from Hollywood if she tried.
Being an actress was her previous job, staying at home and preparing for the arrival of her first child is what she is doing now and soon she'll be the ultimate "stay at home" mother!!
Honestly, at the end of the day...aren't most royals acting to some extent? And that has nothing to do with Meghan's former profession. You always have to be on.
To quote Queen Mary.....You are a member of the British royal family. We are never tired, and we all love hospitals.
Surely we don't want her (or anyone other royal for that matter) showing up to royal engagements surly and not interested?
No we don't, we want her turning up happy, well-schooled in what she is there for and, if she and Harry were throwing the china at each other before she left home that morning, I expect she will put on her party face and do what she has to do just like the ordinary folk do.
Does that make all of us fake, manipulative users? I think not. Just real people living real lives. Contrary to popular belief, their blood runs as hot as ours, not ice cold. Just picture a Prince running out the front door and a pair of tennis shoes and a tennis racquet being thrown after him . . . really Your Majesty? Hell yeah.
Now to the weirdest dichotomy of all. On the one hand, it is being said that attending the fashion awards was too "Hollywood", inferring it was shallow and not worthy of a royal presence and yet, correct me if I'm wrong, there is considerable interest in what she wears, who designed it and who made it. It's an industry and people want her to wear British designs exclusively.
Just to be up front, personally, I really like Meghan. She has the most expressive eyes and face and seems to live in a perpetual state of "the glass is half full". This positive, even joyful way she attacks the job of living is inspiring and uplifting and makes people around her feel good. but this belief she has an edge in the BRF Goldfish Bowl is, to my mind at least, way off the mark.
Acting on a film set is not the same as acting on a stage and the notion she would find it easier to deal with the full-on, 24/7 assault of the media because she has this mythical edge is a farce. Dealing with the media covering a publicity tour with her fellow cast members or a red carpet were all "controlled" situations. Comparing that to the barrage of flashes she and Harry deal with at CC events is like comparing a goldfish to a piranha.
I agree that Meghan's acting ability is definite asset, and hopefully is a source of strength for her in her public interactions. Most people in public facing roles have a face for their "on the clock" interactions, and one for their private lives. The ability to compartmentalize that way is a skill that all royals have to learn, and Meghan had a head start on that due to her background.
