A showbiz editor has imagined the first episode of a potential Meghan Markle reality show, blending scenes from her Montecito home with the grey skies of the UK.
Opening Scene Imagined
The imagined opening shows the Duchess of Sussex facing away from the camera in her Montecito garden, with California hills behind her. The camera then flickers to an image of Meghan under a grey British sky, with the backgrounds eventually fading to a royal blue opening credits scene.
Rumours have been circulating for weeks that Meghan could make a Kardashians-style show about her move back to the UK, following the couple's relocation to the Cotswolds.
Potential Show Content
The editor suggests the couple's return to the Royal Family and their demands for taxpayer-funded security would be the only thing the public would tune in to watch. The first episode would see Meghan getting mic'd up on a couch in California, with her opening words being something like, "This wasn't an easy decision to make."
The real reasons would be saved for episode two, with the episode featuring stock footage of children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who remain unseen. Meghan would discuss her worries about them starting school in the UK after the American system.
Family and Drama
Harry would make a cameo, fumbling as an English dad, with Meghan joking about his charm. Meghan would talk about the ordeal of moving back to England, but the Oprah Winfrey interview would be saved for later in the series. Prince William and Princess Catherine would not be mentioned.
Episode two would see the duo arrive in the UK, with viewers drip-fed details about visits to King Charles and Queen Camilla, the school run, security rows, and the children's integration into a new culture. Meghan would also meet up with Hollywood pals in the Cotswolds, including Ellen DeGeneres, and possibly end up at Jeremy Clarkson's pub.
