I think 99% of this relationship is efforts on both sides to keep the spotlight and remains relevant. He was aging soon-to-be-minor royal and she was an aging soon-to-be-even-more-obscure little-known actress. They both had the same problems and they became each other’s solution.
The constant in this relationship is that these two adore the limelight. They love leaking “upcoming” attractions and giving hints. They started with the spooning bananas and love bracelets, graduated to facialist pap walks and ruffled dresses, and are now giving baby gender hints through rings and crap. They ADORE this infantile crap.
This must be their number 1 priority. If you think about it, they haven’t gotten that many goodies (although Meghan hypes what they do get to the skies). The wedding was basic, the jewelry seems to be all Birks, the clothes are merching, the titles and positions are meaningless, their home is from Soho House, the family “visits” all seem to be more “let’s not and say we did” than actual visits with photos, etc…
What they do get is media events. TONS of them. That’s their main priority.
