they obviously have no real notion of what real work means (not surprising when the papers refer to "working" members of the British royal family), but are doing their best. It's a pity they're falling into the same trap as her late mother-in-law, in baring their souls on a television programme, but we all have to live and learn.

You may not consider acting "working," but the people I know who are actors consider it work. And Meghan spent 15 years as a working actor before leaving it when she married.

From an article she wrote for Elle:

'What are you?' A question I get asked every week of my life, often every day. 'Well,' I say, as I begin the verbal dance I know all too well. 'I'm an actress, a writer, the Editor-in-Chief of my lifestyle brand The Tig, a pretty good cook and a firm believer in handwritten notes.' A mouthful, yes, but one that I feel paints a pretty solid picture of who I am. But here's what happens: they smile and nod politely, maybe even chuckle, before getting to their point, 'Right, but what are you? Where are your parents from?' I knew it was coming, I always do. While I could say Pennsylvania and Ohio, and continue this proverbial two-step, I instead give them what they're after: 'My dad is Caucasian and my mom is African American. I'm half black and half white.'

She supported herself and was making a difference on her own before she met Harry. And "falling into a trap"? Interviews are a matter of course for anyone who is known for their work. In the US, there is a category of "famous for being famous" like Paris Hilton or the Kardashians, but they generate their own carefully-scripted "reality show" media, they don't wait to be asked to be interviewed. I don't think you'll see Harry and Meghan in that second group.

Getting on with their lives and using their fame for good works and for well-considered projects to earn a living is probably refreshing for Harry. He's lucky to be out of the royalty racket and free to be himself. From what we understand about his mother's attitudes, she would have applauded the move, don't you think?
