Meghan Markle makes her Buckingham Palace Balcony Debut

[Anonymous]

I just read that they are, in fact, back from their honeymoon.

I hope they had a blast together.

At some point she will reach her breaking point. They'll have two kids first, then she'll likely lose it when her children have to take a backseat to their cousins.

I would be glad for my kids to be the backseat ones and not the forefront ones. No idea how people exist in this weirdo lifestyle.

I think she'll have the double whammy of her kids ALWAYS being in the spotlight but also having to play a subservient role to their cousins.

But in all fairness, Meghan knew that would be the case going into this. She's just now getting a taste of exactly what that subservient role will mean.

I don't think so, look at Andrew and Fergie's girls. They have the sane role in the previous generation and they are not ALWAYS in the spotlight.

I'm trying NOT to look at them, if you get my drift.

I wish Harry would take that beautiful bride of his on a honeymoon already. As it is, by the time they finally manage to get away they will be too stressed out and annoyed to really enjoy it.

Charles is such an......%@@

They are grown ups who have travelled together many times, not teenagers or twenty somethings marrying their high school or college sweethearts. Going back to "work" soon after your wedding is not a marital hardship. If it is then they are in for a short painful marriage. Somehow, I suspect that they are just fine with this arrangement.

Going to your FIL's morning birthday tea right after your wedding would be the pits though.

And just think about the huge deal that Meghan and Harrys' wedding was. They were constantly "On" and in the spotlight. I can totally see them *needing* a getaway to enjoy being married before heading right into their official royal duties.

Let them bask in the glow for a little while before putting them in their place. Good grief.

I thought she couldn't wait to jump into her "humanitarian" work.

Not for a lack of trying

My guess is she dropped the act and he is realizing his mistake

It's almost like she is not actually a feminist

To me, Meghan looks stifled/like she is hating the restraints already in those pics. Of course, that's a ridiculous leap, because pics capture a fraction of a second, but the pics give me that vibe.

It seems like she very much loves Harry. But for an American, who has had immense freedom and success in her own right, it must be very challenging to go to having all these arcane rules and procedures governing your everyday life.

The off the shoulder dress is beautiful, but I was surprised by it too. It doesn't seem like she's integrating into royal life as much as barely complying and still trying to make a statement of independence.

Royalty marrying Americans, in the very rare circumstances it has happened, doesn't have a great track records. It's different enough for an English-born person to make that transition, let alone the difference between American and English mindsets on independence, making a scene, being outspoken, etc.

The projection here is ridiculous. I think she looked lovely and a bit nervous, so her husband was solicitous in trying to put her at ease.

It’s hilarious.

Meghan looked a little bored but Harry looked grumpy - at least in those pictures. They don't seem as tuned into each other as they normally are. I would expect a couple just back from their honeymoon to be holding hands and beaming with happiness.

Yeah especially as they were so lovey dovey before. They were even holding hands!

Um, are you even married? If so, were you beaming and clutching your husband's hand every waking moment after you returned? My spouse and I had an awesome honeymoon, but constant PDA’s not our thing. Also, it’s just not a realistic expectation of people’s behavior post-honeymoon.

They did go on a honeymoon to a national park in Canada.
