As the wail of trumpets fades in Windsor and we all begin to wonder why we cared so much, it's now an appropriate time to ask an urgent question: How can we Meghan Markle our way into the royal family?
Armed with nothing but a collection of edgy blazers and dating guide book The Rules, the Duchess of Sussex has proven it's a total cinch to waltz into Buckingham Palace and never leave. We've graciously waited a week, and now Meghan's old news. It's time to hatch a plan, reports news.com.au.
