Much has been made of Markle’s native country, her race and her divorce – but her ‘confidence and social ease’ prove she is above all a Californian.
She seems to be an appropriate ambassador for things that Californians hold dear,” said William Deverell, a historian of the American west at the University of Southern California. “Her poise and confidence and social ease; it’s not perfect out here but we have a more equitable view of life.”
British viewers of her televised interview with Prince Harry marvelled at how she appeared so informal and relaxed, so un-Windsor, while viewers in Los Angeles took it for granted.
“LA kids like that are not fazed by fame,” said Colleen Dunn Bates, author of the book Talk Like a Californian. “They’re not star-struck. She grew up not being impressed by celebrities so she’s not intimidated. She can see him as a person and not a celebrity.”
The cliche of southern Californians being relaxed had truth, said Dunn Bates, whose own daughters attend Markle’s old high school, the all-girl Immaculate Heart in Los Feliz, near Hollywood. “We’re an informal people. We have our own language and dress casually.”
But Californians also work hard, not least those in the entertainment industry. “She saw her dad busting his butt,” said Dunn Bates, referring to Thomas Markle, a TV lighting director. “The path she chose – actress – is very hard. You have to be very disciplined about it.”

Nice. I don’t know if I believe in soul mates. Unless I haven’t found mine yet. But nice.
I don’t see why people here are ripping her or him. I’m not emotionally attached to either one in any way, so I just wish them Happiness.
Oops typo. Middleton I meant.
she is the most googled woman in the world, 2017.
And from the chiseled face in the pic from the article she looks like a man baby!
Okay, snowflake...the that’s more on YOU, than what has been posted.
Will the British freak out knowing they will soon then have a mullatto heir to the king?
True,She’s a negro because their’s no currency in being white.
Any baby that Harry and Ms. ( she refuses to be addressed any other way! ) MM have will NOT be "Mulatto". They'll be QUADROONS.
And should Kate and Wills have more kiddos, even farther down the line of accession.
Okay, snowflake...the that’s more on YOU, than what has been posted.

If you say so...I’m sure there is no truth to what I said.
Easy prediction to make — 50% of all marriages end in divorce.
May not care for the wedding, but I think one Freeper said a long time ago if you got nothing nice to say, just don’t say it, why some people are emotionally attached to this especially Americans is insane.
It’s your perception; that’s all I meant, though yes, I do think that you are wrong.
It’s such a mistake for Harry to marry her. She’ll embarrass him.
4, 5, 24, 40, and more, but I’m certain you are right that they are innocent, just poking fun, not related to race.
2022 sounds right if she waits to become pregnant. I predict 2021 - I think she’ll get pregnant soon then divorce. Month and date? I have no clue!
Magic hoo-hoo. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
She’s 36ish I think...if they want a family it better be sooner rather than later. They should have really cute kids.
I hope they have some time to themselves and she doesn’t get thrust into “royal duties” right away.
You're just uneducated and find perfectly normal words somehow "offensive", when all they are is descriptive and weren't ever used as something derogatory.
You marry into "THE FORM" and you take on Royal Duties ASAP; that's the deal.
And since Prince Philip is 96 and the Queen is 91, the younger Royals had better up their game and get into MORE of the "JOB" they are supposed to do, like Price Charles, Camilla, and Princess Anne do.
FORM should be FIRM...typo. :-(
