A couple of days ago I overheard a conversation between two girls. They were discussing the Royal Wedding. It went something like this:

Girl 1: I want to marry a prince, too.

Girl 2: Are you crazy? Why would you?

Girl 1: I wouldn’t have to work or study anymore, my life would be set.

Girl 2: Yeah, and you would be bored to death, too.

Ever since people started talking about this event, I got bored. Yes, prince Harry is hot. Yes, Meghan is lucky she met him through a blind date. But truth is, it is just a wedding. At least that’s what I thought.

After hearing these two girls arguing about how crazy the other was for wanting – or not wanting – to marry someone from Royalty, I decided to investigate a little.

I found out that, in order to marry Harry, Meghan must quit a lot of things. Here are some of them:

Her job

Her career

Her dog

Her social media platforms

Her clothes

Her religion

Selfies

Her right to vote

Going out in public by herself

Now I ask myself, is it really worth it?

Is it worth it to leave almost everything you’ve ever earned, everything you’re used to doing on a regular day, just to be part of a royal family?

Would you leave your dog?

Would you quit your dream job?

Would you sacrifice your personal style just to marry a prince?

I don’t have to think about it twice. I would never give up so many important things in order to be with a man who may, or may not, end up being the love of my life.

As far as I’m concerned, Meghan Markle can keep her prince and her castle, because I’d rather be successful.

I’d rather have a career I love. I’d rather keep my dog. I’d rather be able to go out whenever I can and shop whatever clothes I want to wear.

I couldn’t care less about “being royal”.
