Even the new Netflix documentary – three new episodes of Harry & Meghan dropped today, if you’ve been living under a rock – did nothing to dissuade me. This is the first woman that’s entered royal life and dared to suggest that the family’s archaic protocols might not be entirely necessary – and certainly not of interest to the wider world. Enter Meghan, and suddenly we’ve got style; genuinely-in-love photo calls; plans for supporting excellent causes; shimmering snaps taken under umbrellas! It’s not the best metaphor ever crafted, but it was remarkable to me that this staffer’s choice of words had Meghan as something being absorbed, perhaps even eaten, by the royal machine in order to propel it forward.
