As much as I like the British Royals, I don't write about them, I just tweet stuff about them every so often, especially when it comes to Will and Kate. I have always liked both William and Harry, and as an American who loves things British, including admiring from afar, the monarchy (although I'm so glad we don't have a monarchy in the US), they are just an interesting bunch of people. Well, since this past weekend, it has been announced that Prince Harry has a new girlfriend and he's seeing the American actress, Meghan Markle, who stars in the show Suits, which is filmed in Toronto. I'm particularly excited about this relationship because Meghan is completely unlike any of Harry's other girlfriends. Meghan is American, she's a graduate of Northwestern University (very smart), a Women's Advocate for the United Nations, she has a lifestyle and beauty blog that I follow on Instagram called The Tig, she has a clothing line sold at Reitman's, a Canadian store featuring a capsule collection of clothes based on her Suits character, and she's bi-racial, a black mother and a white father. The usual suspects are shocked about the news and doubt it's anything more than a temporary girl until he finds a more 'proper' girlfriend to become his wife/princess. But I believe they are in for quite a surprise. Harry has been single for far too long and at 32, older than when his brother married Kate five years ago... it's time for him to settle down especially while the queen is still alive.
Well, as each day passes, it's becoming clear that Meghan is more than just a friendly acquaintance to Prince Harry (even though no pictures of the two of them have been released). But due to the world wide coverage about her apparently dating him for the past several months, today we see pics of her now surrounded with bodyguards while she's still based in Toronto filming her TV show. I took a look at her collection at Reitman's, and as timing would have it, I'm in dire need of a nice blouse for a Thanksgiving dinner party I will be attending in Beverly Hills, so, I purchased The Shirt from Meghan's Collection. You know that Reitman's is loving the media attention Meghan has received this week and this selection designed by Meghan will sell out in due time. I do love how much of a bargain the US dollar is in Canada.
I look forward to continued coverage about Meghan and Harry and I hope for his sake, she's the one and that they are happy.
