I am just fascinated by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. I can honestly say that in seven decades of walking the earth, I have never come across anyone quite like her ( or maybe I should say, as she seems to be). 39 pages seem to indicate I am not alone.
I think most women have come across other women like Camilla, or Sophie, or Beatrice or even Kate. Most of us have come across Jess Phillips and Lady Thornberry, yes, even Jill Biden. Not exactly like them, of course (‘ yes, we are all individuals’) but as types or patterns, they are recognisable .
But Meghan is something quite unique, I don’t think anyone understands her even glancingly. Those threads where people have to say whom they would like to meet , and people say Elizabeth 1, or Joan of Arc, or Mary Magdalene or Anne Hathaway….I would choose Meghan. I would just like to be in the same room and look into her eyes, and see what dances there.
