FIRST DAVID FOSTER, THEN MARTHA STEWART — AND A TROUBLING PATTERN APPEARS TO BE FORMING AROUND MEGHAN. Foster had to deny a “snub” that he insisted never happened, while “anonymous party hosts” reportedly pushed back against Martha’s recollection of a dinner-party conversation involving Meghan. Neither incident initially seemed serious enough to become a major scandal. Yet every denial has pulled Meghan into another round of headlines. The more people step forward to defend or explain things on Meghan’s behalf, the more frustrated the public may become as they notice a striking similarity in the way this apparent PR pattern keeps playing out.

Meghan Markle’s latest image problem contains a strange contradiction: sometimes the stories causing the damage are explicitly denied, yet the denial itself keeps Meghan at the center…

HARRY AND MEGHAN MAY BE ABLE TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY BETWEEN TWO WORLDS — BUT ARCHIE AND LILIBET COULD FORCE THEM TO CHOOSE ONE. Harry reportedly does not want to rule out a British education and wants his children to have “a meaningful connection” with his side of the family. Meghan, however, reportedly sees things very differently. She believes Britain presents serious concerns for her children and is determined to resist Harry’s plans.

HARRY IS MOVING CLOSER TO BRITAIN THAN EVER — BUT THE LIFE MEGHAN HAS BUILT IN CALIFORNIA APPEARS TO BE HEADING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. Harry recently met King Charles at Highgrove, is preparing to return for the WellChild Awards, and is even said by a source to dream of potentially becoming a part-time working royal again. Meanwhile, Meghan is handling more of the Netflix negotiations and is reportedly taking on greater responsibility for bringing in money in Los Angeles.
