"It's a boy!" In praise of Meghan Markle and a pregnancy that is already a legend
Beautiful, enterprising, cheeky. He fired the royal gynecologists. He announced to everyone that he was a girl, and instead he is a boy.
There are two cases that have kept us in suspense in recent times: that of Mark Caltagirone, the elusive husband of Pamela Prati, and the birth of the new royal baby. Even those who pretend not to be interested, basically got excited when the happy announcement was made, "It's a boy!": The reason for so much attention must be sought in the now mythological figure of the Duchess of Sussex - and former TV series actress - Meghan Markle.
Thirty-seven years old, American, African-American, vegan, Harry's beautiful wife is a crazy splinter around London, a figure who is revolutionizing the customs of the English monarchy. By comparison Lady Diana was a boring girl. Meghan from Los Angeles is destroying every traditional protocol as well as the coronaries of the centenarian (almost) Queen Elizabeth, now too well used to Kate Middleton and her boring perfection.
Beautiful, independent, cheeky, Meghan gave birth to a boy weighing three and two kilos, triggering an unprecedented expectation among British subjects, but also among the citizens of the world. Every day the girl combines one, and this inevitably makes her nice: she spends thousands of pounds for the “Baby Shower” in New York, an American custom and too glamorous for an English ruler; she quarrels with her sister-in-law Kate Middleton every bit and pushes the brothers William and Harry away, prevents her husband from the usual hunting trip because she doesn't eat meat, wears miniskirts, breaks labels.
Beautiful, independent, cheeky. She becomes pregnant about a quarter of an hour after the wedding and from that day her legend takes off
She becomes pregnant about a quarter of an hour after the wedding and from that day her legend takes off. He asks and gets to issue an unprecedented statement, which can be summarized in a few words: Harry and I are expecting a child, this happy event is a private event and we want to live it as such, when it goes there, we will share it with the world. A thing never seen. And then: he fires royal gynecologists to rely on a female obstetrician, takes back - the last of the feminists - an event such as childbirth and rebels against the excessive medicalization of pregnancy, which is now considered little less than a disease; announces that she will give birth to the newborn at home, even if yesterday the Daily Mail let it be known that in the end the Duchess, in great secrecy, was admitted to a clinic in London.
She makes the whole world believe that she is carrying a girl in her womb, complete with the complicity of her friend Serena William, only to give birth to a boy. Transform the most desired ex bachelor of the old continent into a delusional new dad capable of saying phrases like: "I am shocked by what women can do, I am proud of my wife".
Rebellious spirit or cunning strategist? Mah. He certainly met Harry with a textbook operation. It was a blind date. Meghan was introduced to her scion in 2016 by mutual acquaintance, Violet von Westenholz, Harry's childhood friend and well-known international fashion designer. All three were in Toronto for different reasons but Violet would arrange for Harry and Meghan to meet. Between the two it was love at first sight: "When I met Meghan the stars were aligned", said the prince. After a few days, the two met again in London. Then he invited her to spend a vacation in Botswana. The rest is history: she retires from Hollywood and takes refuge in Frogmore Cottage.

Meghan is also nice because, unlike her bionic sister-in-law Middleton, with deflated ankles half an hour after the third birth, she has gained weight as befits those who are expecting a child: her belly was visible, her face softened, her cheeks they have become plump. A real pregnant woman, like everyone else.
The choice not to show the baby just out of the oven, as has always happened with the newborns of Buckingham Palace. infuriated the paparazzi: “What are the royals serving if they don't show up?”, they wondered. And obviously, like all forbidden things, the desire to see it has increased. Meghan knows how to make herself wanted, after all she has been hanging out in Hollywood for thirty-five years, certain things are never forgotten. It should be today, May 8, the day on which the new family will be shown all together, it is not known whether on social media or on television. The child, to be the eighth in line of succession (i.e. King only in the event of an epidemic) beats all records: around the Duchin of Sussex it is already estimated a turnover of one hundred million pounds, about 115 million euros , and let's talk about souvenirs, gadgets, brooches and all those typically English trinkets. In London, Meghan's face replaced Kate's, rightly so.
