On stage at a school in Dagenham, UK, as a solo appearance Meghan showed that she does have star quality, and it’s possible – likely even – that this will not fade after shedding her husband’s inherited baggage.
The children interviewed after Meghan’s appearance showed the British public may well warm to the couple after their step-back is complete; once the hostility from the more royalist British media has died down.
In the report, it is also mentioned that the Royal Family had played down Meghan’s appearance in order not to “overshadow” other royal appearances taking place at the same time. In future, they will have no such controls available to them. The Royal Rota shall no longer apply to Meghan & Harry.
The role of the British monarchy in a modernising world is evolving at a pace which is perhaps unfamiliar to those accustomed to being in control of such things.
