Bower dice claramente quién les arregló la primera cita, que esta persona poco menos que funcionó de tinder humano pasando fotos suyas, cual si estuviera haciendo un casting, se nota que ahí no le molestó ser "objetivada" pero el cierre de este capítulo es glorioso...

Gazing at her client, Nelthorpe-Cowne thought, ‘I looked at how
stunning she was and I just thought: “There’s no way he’s going to be able
to resist her.”’
As Meghan carried on whispering with excitement, Nelthorpe-Cowne
interrupted,
‘Do you know what you’re doing? Do you know anything
about him?’Meghan replied,
‘I’ve googled Harry. I’ve gone deeply into his life.’Nelthorpe-Cowne was left in no doubt that Meghan had carefully
researched every aspect of Harry and his past life. She understood precisely
the man she was meeting:
needy, volatile, unhappy and seeking a
soulmate.217
‘I understood where she was coming from,’ Nelthorpe-Cowne recalled.

During his twenties William visited his mother’s family and friends to
try to fill in the gaps about Diana. Harry resisted that disturbing tour.
He
preferred to believe the Hollywood fiction that his mother had been
murdered by the paparazzi’s relentless pursuit of her into the Paris tunnel. ‘I
think it was a classic case of don’t let yourself think about your mum,’ he
would later explain, ‘and the grief and the hurt that comes with it, because
it’s never going to bring her back and it’s only going to make you more sad.
My way of dealing with it was just basically shutting it out, locking it
out.’224
Terminé el capítulo 19, post su primera, y última creo, navidad en Windsor, y me quedo con esto:

In London, Lady Susan Hussey had shortly before enjoyed lunch with a
group of theatre executives and directors. While discussing the possibility
that Meghan might become associated with the National Theatre after the
wedding, Hussey became unexpectedly serious about the couple’s future.
‘That will all end in tears,’ warned Hussey. ‘Mark my words.’
