Now that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have officially agreed to step down as senior royals, the couple are reportedly very excited about their current situation and thinking about the future, and according to Us Weekly, "Meghan is 'very happy' and so is Harry. He is very excited about the next chapter in their lives."

Meghan even wants to teach Harry what Us Weekly magazine considers "the real world." Says another insider, "She doesn't come from a family of billionaires. She has worked hard to get where she is today'"

The source added, "Meghan loves the idea of being a breadwinner ...... She has no plans to do another show like 'Suits,' but added that Harry has encouraged her to do more voice-over work, writing, producing, and directing in her free time."

I'm stating the obvious here: go Meghan! I get the "real world" concept that Us Weekly is talking about, but I also think that Harry is pretty smart and tried to live as "normal" a life as possible under the circumstances (being royalty is literally a job unlike any other It's different, so I can see how it would be a different world no matter what). Frankly, the fact that they have already thought this through means that they are thinking strategically about it, since a lot of the discussion has focused on "how to make money."

We should also remember that Meghan has been active in causes she cares about since she was a child (opens in new tab), and despite stepping back, she remains active in patronage:

So, she has no plans to slow down, which is great That's a good thing.
