She gives up everything and becomes a prince - does Meghan Markle reveal herself?
Since she does a great job as an actress in a world-famous series ("suits") for years, without that many people are interested in her, and then she gets once a marriage proposal from a prince and? siblings? all know their names: Meghan Markle.
Suddenly everyone wants to know everything about them: What is their style? Your favorite yoga exercise? Her favourite colour? Who is her best friend?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - quite a dream couple
Admittedly, this prince, who has proposed marriage to her, is not some prince. It is Harry, the younger son of Diana, who had to deal with the death of his mother as a little boy. It is the rebel of the British royal family who never made a secret of the fact that he has his own mind and now and then wants to experience the world in his own way, even if he does not always come across as royally.
Harry had always been close to Otto Normal people, so it was clear that the woman whom the sympathetic, unconventional Royal would once marry would make everyone curious. And then this woman, whom Harry falls in love with, is also a non-blue-blooded woman of the people, who had to work out everything she has achieved in life, an inspiration for all women!
Nicer than a fairy tale - until she sank everything
A storyteller could not have done even better: Prince Harry, the headstrong Royal, and Meghan Markle, the self-made woman: they could be a symbol of the dawn of a new era. A time when individuals are more important than traditions and role models.
But even before we could initiate it, Markle announced the exit from her series, her usual environment, her life so far. Meghan Markle finally becomes a princess or duchess. And for that she depends? at least for the time being? everything else on the nail.
Typical: man makes woman application, woman gives everything for him
Of course she may decide how she likes? out of love, because she is more appealing to prince-woman life than acting, and for whatever reason. Your decision, your reasons. Nevertheless, the connection between the two is probably also a big deal and a small revolution in the royal family.
But: On the very first superficial look Markle again follows exactly the traditional screenplay, which we have already read millions of times: woman meets man, man makes woman application, wife gives up everything and is now available for him.
"I never wanted to be a lady" - why is she going to be?
On the other hand, nothing speaks in itself - if it makes a woman happy and she decides to do so out of her own will and not because it is so. But that does not fit Meghan Markle somehow. After all, she is often quoted as saying, "I never wanted to be a lady who dines, but always a woman who works."
What has become of it? Now that Harry made her a request, does not it suddenly matter what she always wanted to be? Or does she want to remain true to her principle on the side of the prince?
A prince woman who works? Could be difficult ...
If so, she has some plans. Because as a budding prince's wife she can not even choose the wedding cake herself (here you can find out which wedding traditions she has to adhere to). Of course you bring the wedding with Harry in addition to the connection with the man she loves (which of course dwarfs everything else), also a lot of fame, reputation and wealth. But the role corset she slips into is traditionally very tight, and it will certainly be difficult for her to maintain her freedom, power and self-determination.
But who knows? Maybe Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are more than a mere symbol of the new era. Maybe their wedding bells will even ring in the new time.
