... I'm glad that the hoopla has died down around them ...

Unfortunately, there's no indication that media hoopla has died down. It's just that Meghan, Harry and all of Meghan's friends and co-workers have closed protective ranks, while M&H have pulled back and gone undercover even more than they had previously.
That's why Patrick J. Adams seems upset with himself for posting the harmless pic that was snapped up in an instant and ran with irresponsibly by the tabloids. Tabs apparently can't wait to get their hands on anything they can regarding M&H. And in the absence of anything at all, they resort to making stuff up out of thin air.
I really don't have any torn feelings in regard to how she is having to conduct things/make changes in her life ...she was well aware of how it can go when dating a member of the BRF. If it was too much for her she'd of already gone her own way.
She is freely choosing to be part of it all. Of course I think the media is overly intrusive and shameful with how they conduct themselves most of the time too.
You are right. I don't know Meghan personally, so it's just the way I'm feeling and not a reflection on how she feels and is moving forward with her life. I only got to know Meghan from afar after hearing the news she was dating Prince Harry. I would not have been that interested had I not discovered (due to her accessible public profile) what a cool, sweet, fun-loving and caring person Meghan is. What
@MARG posted earlier is right. The way Meghan's friends and co-workers are backing her up is telling of what a wonderful person she is, and Harry obviously sees something special in Meghan too. That doesn't make her a saint. It just speaks volumes about her worth as a down-to-earth human being. Too bad that the media won't temper their snarky OTT intrusiveness.
Patrick J. Adams just removed his Instagram today because
Hello mag copped an innocuous picture he posted from an old
Suits photo-op of Meghan kissing his cheek.
Hello ran with it to create a made-up story, and
Daily Fail and other irresponsible tabs have followed suit (no pun intended). What a shame that Patrick felt the need to completely delete his Instagram. He also called out
Hello mag on his Twitter account, and apologized indirectly to Meghan. Fans are supportive of Patrick and not happy that he felt forced to remove the cute pic of him and Meghan sweetly goofing on
Suits set years ago.
If I had known of Meghan sooner via
Suits and all her interviews, articles, etc., I would have totally been a fan prior to the 'dating Prince Harry' circus and tiresome undercover intrigue. As I said earlier, I'm happy for Meghan and Harry if they are true soulmates, but I'm sad that the media won't temper their OTT intrusiveness.
