I bet the Obama people reach out to Meghan as soon as they heard was marrying Harry.
Word is that it was Michelle who introduced them to one another. She and her daughters hit it off with Harry on her first trip to UK during Obie's first administration. This undermining of the Crown has been in the works for a long time. If I were the Palace, I would have had Harry blood-tested for mind-altering substances when he showed up for the "settlement" meeting.
