I got a good laugh when I looked at my iphone this morning. It says Meghan moved to LA so she could run for president. Don’t you just love Harry and Meghan? They are the quintessential soap opera stars. They make us forget about covid-19 and police brutality. Just when we think we can’t stand the world we’re living in , we find comic relief with Harry & Meghan.
They’re full of drama and excitement. Beautiful Meghan from a dysfunctional, mixed race family.Handsome Harry, from an equally dysfunctional family. Not mixed race, but mixed up, for sure. And yet, they’re providing us with a glimpse of their struggles that are somehow entertaining and funny. As a result, those two have done the world a great favor the past three months. While we’ve been stuck at home during the coronavirus outbreak, they’ve taken our minds off of Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, covid-19, and the violent protesters who are hell bent on destroying our country.
Just like us, Meghan and Harry had the rug pulled out from under. When they left England, they thought it would be smooth sailing. Instead, they’re on this bewildering odyssey in search of their true selves. Lurching from country to country, trying to figure out how to function and thrive. And we have been with them every step of the way. Are they broke? Is Meghan desperately trying to revive her acting career? Is Prince Charles mad at them? Has the queen disowned them? It’s like this wonderful soap opera going on every day, and yet it’s real.
While standing in line at the supermarket checkout–sweating with my mask, feet aching– I look for distraction. Pictures of Harry and Meghan on every magazine cover take my mind off the discomfort of social distancing. Viva Harry and Meghan!
