Meghan Markle's Close Friend Offers Glimpse Into Her 'Love Life' with Prince Harry
Meghan Markle's close friend, **Lindsay Jill Roth**, has released a new book titled *Romances & Practicalities: A Love Story (Maybe Yours!) in 250 Questions*, offering a unique and personal insight into her relationship with **Prince Harry**. In the book, Roth reveals **20 important questions** that she believes Meghan should have asked Harry before they began dating in 2016.
Roth’s book provides a distinct perspective on Markle’s relationship with Harry, who is now the son of **King Charles III**. Since their relationship began, the couple has married, started a family with two children, and embarked on media ventures like their **Netflix deal**, all while continuing their philanthropic work around the globe.
In the book’s acknowledgements, Roth expresses her deep bond with Meghan, writing:
*"Meghan Sussex, Meg, to be sisters by choice, still thinking the same thing at the same time after all these years. No matter how many miles between us, it’s my favorite part of our unbreakable bond. There for each other always, sharing a deep loyalty and understanding—I could tell you anything, and it would be okay. I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)."*
The book blends practical relationship advice with personal insights. Roth shares **250 questions** for couples to explore important topics like finances, family dynamics, and parenting. Along with these questions, Roth also reflects on her own marriage to **Gavin Jordan**, offering a glimpse into her personal life.
Roth's close connection with Meghan, whom she fondly refers to as a "sister by choice," has greatly influenced the creation of this book. Meghan's relationship with Harry, along with other personal experiences, likely inspired Roth to compile these insightful questions to help couples navigate their relationships.
The "20 questions" Roth believes are crucial for couples to discuss are as follows:
1. How did your family resolve conflict? Do you approve or disapprove of that method? What would you change or not change to resolve conflicts in your future family?
2. When you're upset or annoyed at someone, do you prefer to (1) remain silent, (2) say something as soon as those feelings arise, (3) wait a certain amount of time before raising the issue, or (4) do something else? If so, what?
3. If an issue arose between someone in your family and me, would you rather handle it with that person on my (or our) behalf or would you rather I handle it with them directly?
4. How do you feel about my siblings? How much time would you want to spend with them?
5. What if one of your family members disliked me? How would you handle that?
6. How would you like to handle holiday family visits? Dividing the holidays? Sharing holidays with extended family? Would you prefer to spend holidays alone?
7. Was the way in which your nuclear family was perceived by outsiders - friends, neighbors, coworkers, extended family - an accurate presumption? Did your family portray itself one way in public but function differently at home?
8. How often do you speak with your family? How often do you visit?
9. How often would your family like to visit you/us? Is that okay?
10. Would you ever live abroad if the opportunity presented itself? If so, where?
11. What are your thoughts about mental health treatment for either one of us?
12. How involved should grandparents be in our parenting? How often should they see the kids? What if they want to see them all the time?
13. How important is your career in terms of your identity?
14. Do you have any passion projects that you're working on or want to create? If so, how would that work around your job and our relationship?
15. How can we best support each other in our respective jobs or businesses?
16. What would you eliminate from your life if you suddenly had to live on a tighter budget?
17. Do your parents pay any of your bills currently (including your cell phone bill)? If so, will they continue to do so in the future?
18. Would you accept financial help from your parents or elders if they offered it?
19. What would happen if one or both of us lost our jobs?
20. If we had to make an escape plan—if we had to abandon our homes and head somewhere safe—where would that be?
