This article also says that Meghan is now open to reconciling with the royal family. That's new. According to "sources" she's gone from I-never-want-to-see-those-people-again to let's-mend-that-fence. I don't buy it. She sees it slipping away and she's looking for a lifeline.

The claims of needing 24-hour tax-payer provided security went up in smoke. They flew to Portugal and didn't get papped, then flew to London and didn't get papped. So it's possible to travel and keep your plans private, as long as you don't tip off the paparazzi. Who knew?

They aren't coming back into the royal fold. They would have to give up their pr team, and while they do like firing people they aren't going to be satisfied letting BP handle their press.

They would be lined up either with the cousins or behind them and Meghan would still have to curtsy to Camilla and Catherine, as well as William.
