PUBLIC PRIVATE

The U.K. media has decided to wage war on Meghan Markle. This may not be the wisest long-term strategy, if it helps lead Meghan and Harry to go live somewhere else.

It’s been a difficult few weeks for Meghan Markle, and it appeared the pressure was getting on top of her this week when she told Pharrell Williams, in an ill-judged, on-camera comment at the red-carpet reception for The Lion King, “They don’t make it easy.”

    While there has been some debate about the “who” it was that she had in mind (the press she claims not to read? Her in-laws? Racists? Society at large?) there is little doubt that the past few weeks have been among the most challenging of Meghan’s royal life.
