Meghan Markle has enjoyed quite the boost in popularity in recent weeks.
As you’ve probably heard, Markle is dating Prince Harry and tabloids on both sides of the pond are rabid for details about their romance.
We imagine it’s a lot for her to take in, as Markle was previously best known for starring in the USA network legal drama Suits.
That would be like going from a basic cable series whose audience consists entirely of dozing seniors in retirement communities to a high-profile relationship with one of the world’s most eligible bachelors.
We’re not great at analogies.
Anyway, despite countless reports of Harry and Meghan hobnobbing, galavanting, and even publicly snogging all over London, none of these very British activities have been caught on camera.
Until now …
Yes, there it is, folks.
The first image of Harry with be-hoodied figure who were told is Meghan.
And now we know what galavanting looks like.
Naturally, there’s been a good deal of speculation over whether or not Harry and MegMar plan on spending the holidays together.
Several sources have reported that Harry is planning to introduce Meghan to the Queen over wassail and figgy pudding, but now a source is telling People that that’s both poppycock and a load of rubbish.
“I very much doubt she will be there,” a royal insider tells the magazine.
“But if Harry asks for something, she would say yes as she adores him.”
“It would be a tall order for her, and possibly put her off for good!”
Yeah, imagine making small talk with a 90-year-old monarch would be a bit of a challenge:
“Hey, have you have been watching The Crown? Man, your husband was kind of a dick back in the day, right?”
You can see the difficulty.
Plus, it’s unfair to put Markle in that situation.
QE2 (as the kids call her) is old enough to have traded barbs with Churchill and her TV show is still more popular than Suits.
That must sting a little, right?
