Meghan‘s history has been to cut and run when circumstances stopped working in her favour: first husband, the chef boyfriend, the agent in the UK, Linda Something (British socialite), Piers Morgan (yes even him), her dad, her sister, Jessica Mulroney, the UK, the royal family (these are the ones we k ow about).
Would she do the same now, three weeks into the new year and a full year’s worth of bad press and aggro from all corners, Netflix coming to an end, nothing meaningful on the horizon? Her chickens are coming home to roost, and she must feel that the walls are closing in on her.
She’s never had this much to lose before: two children, money, a profile which someone at least must be telling her she can turn around. Then again, Harry must feel like a ball and chain to her. He is a dolt who can’t navigate the real world, easily upset, dumb, entitled. She probably has to do everything. Not a life that can possibly be happy.
I wonder whether she ever hankers for her life pre-Harry: none of the highs, but none of the lows. Has it all been worth it?
The thing with hustlers (which is what I called her on a MN thread right before they got married) is that they’re always hustling. Always on the lookout for the next thing to exploit. Always ready to cut the string. They’re always running, because they can’t sit still otherwise they’d have to look at themselves and see how hollow they are. Between South Park, THR, the Daily Beast, VF, Endgame, Netflix, it’s all there to see. They’re both extremely damaged people looking to fill the hole inside them. It’s tragic.
