Meghan of Montecito She’s left the Firm behind. Harry’s found a polo team in Santa Barbara. The kids are doing great. Now she’s ready for her next act. (blech!)

The conditions are right for confession. It is a beautiful August day in Montecito, in a beautiful sitting room, in a beautiful home. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, a lively 3-year-old with a shock of ginger curls identical to his father’s, toddles into the room demanding “Momma” listen to his heartbeat with a wooden toy stethoscope. He stands, tummy protruding, while his mother, Meghan, convincingly performs her glee at hearing the thump-thump, thump-thump in his chest. Archie giggles and, satisfied, toddles right back out again.

Meghan, relaxing in a cozy chair, gazes over all that is climate-controlled and high-ceilinged and sun-dappled and perfectly marshmallowy, and hers. An invisible hand has lit a Soho House–branded rose-water candle (the founder, Nick Jones, is a friend from “long before I met Harry,” she says), and that scent fills the air, mingling with the gentle tones of a flamenco-inflected guitar floating from a speaker. Then, in the lull in conversation, Meghan turns to me and leans forward to ask in a conspiratorial hush, “Do you want to know a secret?”

Meghan, silenced no more, looks around, making sure nobody (who would be?) is listening in. Then the top-secret drop: “I’m getting back … on Instagram,” she says, her eyes alight and devilish.

This could have been a troll: Delivering a nothing with such gravitas feels as if Meghan, who has been so trolled by the media, is serving it back, just a little. But, as I quickly realize, it is actually news. Before this chapter in her life, before everything difficult that spun off from marrying the Duke of Sussex and, along with him, the British monarchy, she was just Meghan Markle, a woman with a plum role on a USA procedural and a moderately popular lifestyle blog, The Tig. As herself, she’d amassed 3 million Instagram followers by sharing snippets of a basic life: yoga, food she liked, hikes with friends, her beagle, Guy. Fans watched as she attended events with her Suits castmates and charity galas, nights out at Soho House in London and Toronto. She ran that account for years before she met Harry, but on the heels of their engagement, control over her Instagram was just one of the things (along with The Tig, her passport, and the freedom to open her own mail) she gave up. She’d loved sharing her life with people, she says, but she loved Harry more. “It was a big adjustment — a huge adjustment to go from that kind of autonomy to a different life,” says Meghan.

...more blech...

I detect a little sniping from the author there.

Markle is more like Medusa, at least to me anyway.

If you read Tom Bowler’s book, the Harold’s aren’t stupid, and she is extremely calculating to build her brand. She wants the royal titles to show that Harry is international VIP and so is she and deserves international status.

There is a POWERFUL amount of legal actions they can use if they achieve getting such statuses and we will be paying for their security and other perks if they are granted this.

She really needs those titles.

Rumor has it the Harkles are preparing to bug out of Montecito. If true, perhaps for cheaper digs...?

Nope; rumor in the DailyMail says more expensive. He's probably getting a wad from his Granny, and it wouldn't surprise me if they threw a tantrum while they were in UK to extort some more out of Charles.

it seems weird that a semi black woman would have two lily white children with red hair

Meghan's mother appears to be part white, like many American blacks, and so Meghan is probably less than 1/2 African. Her father's ethnicity is mostly English, so his genes are whitey-white.

Red hair often results from a clash of gene groups. In this country and in the West Indies you see fair-skinned blacks with some white genes called cafe au lait (coffee with milk) with rusty red hair, and sometimes light eyes of green, gray or gold.

The Stone Age Celtic aborigines (bog people) had fair skin, blue eyes and black hair. The red hair you often see today in the native Brits supposedly resulted from the raids by the tall blond Vikings starting around 800 A.D. starting with northern Scotland and Ireland. The British Isles also mixed the Picts, Angles, Saxons and Normans.

William has the convex, outwardly curved nose, like his mother. Harry and Meghan both have concave, “ski-jump” noses.

She may have had a neck lift, but her nose has always been that way, judging by her before-fame young pix. Her nose is curved with a break across the middle, much like her father's.
