For her part, Meghan hit all the right notes, delighting the crowd after Harry’s speech on mental health and empowering young students . It reminded me of watching her almost five years ago in South Africa, when she told a group of teens that she was their “sister.” Despite the complexities, the prince has made no secret of his desire for reconciliation with his family and would likely answer any call to help out his family.
