A Baby And An Anniversary

Meghan and Harry have already been married for just over a year and had baby Archie during this time. So you cannot say that they haven’t been busy. But it has not been all tea parties and charity events for Meghan.

Instead, now that she has a royal baby, and possibly more on the way, there are some new protocols that have to be adhered to which have really put some limits on what she can and cannot do in the public sphere.

A Big Adjustment

When Harry first started courting Meghan it seemed like it truly was a fairy tale romance. The two were inseparable from the start and they both routinely gazed at each other adoringly for the paparazzi.

As an American though, it seemed like Meghan did not really understand the importance of being a member of the royal family and the immense pressures she would find herself under once she finally tied the knot with Harry. The freedom she had as an American civilian would not be the same once she had her title of Duchess of Sussex bestowed on her.

Growing Up Royal

When you are born royal the way Prince Harry and Prince William were you know exactly how to behave and what your responsibilities are. This is because they have had tutors, protocol instructors, and have been able to watch how their parents navigate the royal social scene. But Meghan did not have this knowledge.

All her time in the spotlight had come from being an actress on the small screen for various television shows like Suits. It was a very steep learning curve for her and one that she is still on. But is she truly happy with this new life and all that it entails?

Not The People’s Princess

When it was announced that Meghan and Harry were engaged there was a public outcry. Some of Harry’s loyal subjects were happy that he was finally settling down but others were not thrilled that his bride was an American actress who had been previously married.

She was a far cry from what the Royal family had imagined for their fiery prince but he was smitten and she was it for him. As Meghan and her immediate family got harassed by the media and people on the street Kensington Palace did something unprecedented: they royally asked that she be left alone as it had become a question of safety.
