Let’s not get carried away. The Queen’s younger grandson may be decamping to North America with his lovely wife and baby but the Queen herself is very much in business; life goes on. It may certainly have been odd, not to say ill advised, for this headstrong couple to have announced their departure from Britain without a by your leave to anyone, including the Queen, but that does seem to be their modus operandi, all the while professing regard for the royal tradition in which they will be raising baby Archie.
Personally, I haven’t felt that life has been greatly diminished by the absence of the couple for the last six weeks in Canada. In fact, it has been rather a relief to be spared their very public angst about being so very much criticised and under pressure when it might have been a bit more in order for them to be counting their blessings.
I’ve thought for a while that Canada would be just perfect for them, being the most woke nation on earth, where Meghan has lots of friends, and which is a hop, skip and jump from the west coast of America where she is most at home.
