I think she’d leave with a daughter, but I’m starting to wonder about that part. She doesn’t seem to be in any kind of hurry on that department.
But I still stand by my 2-year prediction, which is based on her career track record so far (as chronicled in her blogs). Meghan is really good at selling herself and “booking” a part (Stage 1). That was the “Everyone Loves Classy” pr drive. Once she gets it she always underperforms, focusing on fripperies instead of substance, creating drama, and sucking up enormous amounts of resources from the unlucky folks that hired her. That’s Stage 2, and it’s the stage we are in right now. Stage 3 is when the employer stops investing on her and she gets jealous and restive and starts looking for something else. I think we are now entering Stage 3 and it will extend into next year. Stage 4 is when she finds a new project and starts the “booking” cycle all over again.
I know a lot of people think her new project will be a man, but I doubt it. I think it will be a “breaking free” post-divorce Di storyline where she divorces Harry, writes a “Becoming Meghan” book, and goes back to Worldvision and the UN as an inspirational speaker. She’ll eventually enter into a fauxmance to keep the storyline going, but that will come later.
I know I get a lot of pushback on this because her situation seems so unstoppable right now–free house and clothes, security, helis, press. However, the press attention will eventually flag, leaving only the snarky UK tabs still interested in her. The family will get progressively more annoyed at all the drama, and Harry’s position will get weaker and weaker, resulting in less privileges.
Keep in mind that Soho House and the other sponsors will still provide free housing and clothing after a divorce. In addition, a kid would ensure several more years of free security. The only things she would be truly giving up are the helis and the palace staff (who she will probably come to detest by the time the end comes).
I agree with a lot of this, but I don’t think she’s going to have a “breaking free” post-divorce story.
