After all, the most eligible bachelor slash our only key to actual royal status in this day and age has now won the heart of one of the most beautiful women in America, whilst we have been sitting as wallflowers for years trying to at least get Harry to follow us on Twitter.
Needless to say, Meghan is everything we are trying to be right now.
For those of you who are still clinging on to that last glimmer of hope (cancelled engagement? falling out of love? a sudden disapproval from The Queen?), here’s a guide on how you can slowly shape yourself into becoming anything close to Miss Markle and attract your own Prince Harry in the (near? far?) future. This of course would require a lot of effort on your end, but it definitely does not hurt to try.
- Become a successful actress and humanitarian overnight, because playing a brilliant Rachel Zane and being an ambassador for World Vision Canada at the same time surely gets royalty riled up in the best way.
- Have a friend who can possibly set you up with someone of royal status. Go on a blind date. Have him fall head over heels for you during your first date.
- Agree to a spontaneous trip to Botswana with Mr. Royalty himself. Chat with him endlessly under the stars in isolation.
- Capture his heart with your wit and charm, and eventually agree to be in a relationship with him like it’s no big deal.
- Get photographed together in royal events. Flaunt your impending royalty status like a true queen.
- Get him to propose to you a year later in a place similar to a cottage at the Kensington Palace. Roast a chicken casually. Surprise! Watch him get down on one knee. Do not even let him finish and say yes.
- Watch as a beautiful diamond flanked by two smaller stones is slipped onto your ring finger. Later on realize that the large diamond is from your first momentous trip to Botswana, and that the two smaller stones are from his late mother slash princess’ jewelry collection. Sob endlessly.
- Get the hearty approval of his Prince father, Prince brother, Duchess sister-in-law, and the Queen.
- Sit casually in an interview for BBC, all the while holding his hand tightly for every single woman to see.
- Plan a Spring 2018 royal wedding. Smile for the cameras. You’re now inches away from being royalty.
Congratulations, Meghan & Harry!
