She has one crucial advantage - a loving, close family, who no doubt offer her sound advice, keep her grounded and provide a place to let off steam.
Absolutely. One thing that somehow always stuck in my head was how way back when Kate was pregnant with George and admitted with HG, she was at home with her entire family (Bucklebury or whatever it's called?) when they decided she had to go to hospital. As awful as HG sounds, it was a touching thought that she was pregnant and sick but had all those people who cared about her close by.
Meghan's life seems so hollow, defined by success and money. She probably thought she would be envied and admired in the UK because she was besties with celebs and all kinds of powerful people in the US. She also threw away the chance to give Archie a big family and let him grow up close to his cousins and grandparents. It's clear that she has no idea how valuable a good family is to a child's development.
There is also a stark contrast to the way the children are growing up. Even though W&K are hugely higher up in security stakes, they tried to give their kids a normal, countryside life. They go to regular schools & activities, been in the same home for years, visit the same relatives etc. Archie has already taken more private jets than anyone else in a lifetime, and living isolated in a massive, empty mansion with screens on all sides. He's also been moved around 3 different countries in less than a year, with another impending move soon, unless they plan to mooch off Tyler Perry forever.
All the baby advice on MN says that routine is best, which implies having familiar rooms/toys/furniture/smells, same waking & naptimes, same trips to familiar places (eg playground, grandparents house). Can't imagine what kind of routine Archie had in the first 12 months but at least their parents have found freedom...
