If she didn’t like the monarchy and everything about it, why join? - she fell in love with Harry, one of the world's most eligible bachelors.
She thought it would be great - 'I've found myself a nice prince!' … 'I've married into the UK Royal family and it's gonna be great!' etc.
Trouble is, outsiders have often struggled to fit in with Royal procedure and protocol.
Prince Philip, Princess Diana, the Duchess of York (Fergie) are some names of outsiders who struggled.
It seems that Prince Harry has always mildly resented playing second fiddle to his elder brother and future King, William. Meghan has simply put rocket fuel under Harry's resentment.
Like I say, the Monarchy has a hierarchy and a way of doing things and it won't change any time soon. The Monarchy isn't Hollywood. Harry and Meghan are finding out the hard way.
TBH, I find it difficult to feel sorry for a couple who have so much privilege - the only way they could secure multi-million dollar Netflix and Spotify deals that paid for their Cali mansion was because Harry is Royal-born.
