Among the innumerable fascinating traits I uncovered when researching Meghan Markle's life story was her fondness for homespun mottos. She
seemed to have an aphorism to suit almost every eventuality. One was
recited to her friends whenever she embarked on some landmark venture,
such as a career move or a new relationship. 'Never
give it five minutes if you're not prepared to give it five years,' she
would declare (omitting to say this mantra was originally coined by her
first husband, Trevor Engelson). That
it has taken Meghan considerably less time — just 20 months — to decide
she cannot adjust to the rigours of royal duty may have shocked the
British public. .....'She has been able to move fast because this has been planned for
months. She is running a campaign. This is not just an exit. It is a
long-game strategy that has been set in motion for some time.' ......
Intriguingly, I am told that, in the dying
days of her marriage to Engelson, he and Meghan retreated to the
island ( Vancouver Island), with its magnificent forests and wild coastline, in a last-ditch
attempt to reconcile their differences.They stayed in a house belonging to the family of her fellow Suits cast member Patrick Adams. ....... Soon after, she divorced Engelson (returning his wedding and engagement
rings by post) and began a relationship with Cory Vitiello, a celebrity
chef she met in Toronto, where she was filming Suits, the TV soap that
brought her the fame she craved. ....
And 60 per cent believe they should also
stump up the £2.4million cost of the controversial refurbishment of the
home. Only 25 per cent say they should not have to find the money.
An
even bigger proportion, 76 per cent, reckon Harry and Meghan should not
get another penny in support from Buckingham Palace or the Government –
or Metropolitan Police protection – if they live abroad. Only 13 per
cent say they should be able to retain these entitlements.....
