Meghan Markle is now one of the most famous famous women in the world. She has a new baby, a husband she presumably loves, a busy schedule, enough paparazzi to drive a sane person mad, and a constant stream of articles and gossip painting her to be scheming social climber with a nasty attitude, despite there being no real evidence to back it up. Oh, and half her family seems out to get her too. If she IS courting magazines, covers and otherwise, I don't think it's for attention. If I were in her shoes, I'd try to do the same thing. She's already on magazine covers on a weekly basis, so why not work with ones willing to let you have some control over your life's narrative and your image? You think she couldn't call up practically any EIC (especially for American publications, but probably British ones too) and book a cover? If she's not doing that and is only guest editing or writing a letter about charity work (which the royal family is always broadcasting or having broadcast for them, Meghan would not be an exception) I assume it's because she's trying to honor tradition. I think that deserves respect even though I also think it's unnecessary. It's pretty much a guarantee Harry will never be king, so why the incessant need to follow this unspoken protocol? Think of all the nonsense members of the royal family have done, from cheating on their royal spouses, to hanging out with pedophiles aboard the "Lolita Express", to supporting Nazis, to partying naked in Vegas, to selling access to other family members. From where I stand Meghan's an upstanding person compared to half the rest of them.
