Meghan Markle becoming royalty is something that I'm just not ever going to completely get over. She's an anomaly that I can't fully come to grips with.
But what's even more amazing than Meghan going from American actress to a British Duchess, is watching her adapt to the royal family norms.
So now, we're doing some investigating. Meghan is always holding onto her own purse, and we want to know why!
And while for the most part, she's followed the rules. There have been plenty of times when she's decided to take a walk on the wild side, and rebel against what's expected of her.
If members of the royal family want to wear nail polish, the expected color of choice is suppose to be something neutral, and never something dark or edgy, by any means.
But Meghan threw caution to the wind, and rocked a dark dark purple polish instead.
Meghan and Prince Harry are often seen holding hands, or cuddling up in public, which completely goes against the rules.
In the royal family it's considered to be "un-ladylike" for women to be in public with their hair completely showing. But most of the time, Meghan does not wear a hat in public.
For women in the royal family, crossing your legs is against royal etiquette. But once again, Meghan is totally rebelling, and we love her for it.
Women in the royal family are expected to always carry their purses, but never over their shoulders.
If she puts her purse on a table, it means she's ready to go home.
If she puts her purse on the floor while speaking to someone, it means she is having an unpleasant conversation that she would like to be rescued from.
Usually when it comes to partaking and complying to royal rules and traditions, Meghan does her own thing. But we have yet to see her with her purse on her shoulder since she's been with Prince Harry.
Coincidence? I think not.
Here's Meghan and Harry leaving 100 Days To Peace Commemorative Concert together, in September.
Meghan is holding a black clutch in her hand, no sign of any over-the-shoulder action here.
She isn't even giving herself the slightest opportunity to divert from royal protocol with this handbag.
Looks like she might just be warming up to the royal family rules after all!
It's clear that she doesn't carry around a whole lot with her in her purses. How much could really fit in that wallet-sized purse?
Why not add to her bountiful collection of strapless handbags?
She's simply disabling herself from being tempted to throw her purse over her shoulder, by only using clutches.
I'm pretty sure that soon enough, she could possibly be a Guinness World Record holder for largest clutch collection.
She doesn't even seem to own many handbags that have straps. She's clearly a fan of smaller purses and clutches as opposed to cross-body satchels and totes.
I mean, this is all just speculation.
It's very possible that if we gave Meghan a purse with an actual strap, she might hang it over her shoulder without a second thought.
She's already made it into the family, she's married to Prince Harry and pregnant with their first child together. It's not like her breaking the rules would make any difference at this point, amirite?
Having to rummage through a giant messy purse, trying to find lip balm is an extremely tall order that nobody wants to deal with. Not even Meghan Markle.
It would be kind of an irrational fear, but it's totally possible. Maybe she's just worried that if her purse is over her shoulder, it makes her a bigger target to be mugged.
I assume that Meghan is doing her best to get on the queen's good side.
You know what they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Even though Meghan doesn't exactly follow every royal rule in the book, I'm sure even the queen can recognize how far she's come to go from Suits actress to Duchess of Sussex.
After all, it's 2019. Meghan can carry her own purse in her hands, over her shoulder, or even on top of her head. Who are we to jump to conclusions?
The takeaway from this investigation is that Meghan is just really into small, handheld purses, and there's nothing wrong with that.
You go girl.
