Attention now turns to Meghan's "new role", and how she will carry it out. But how will we, the public, respond as the Duchess of Sussex steps into her royal shoes? And how long will it be before our applause for the former Ms Markle's grace and composure - the cry that "she's a natural" - give way to a lament that she's "such an actress"? Because make no mistake, for all the rapturous post-wedding praise, the backlash, if it hasn't already started rumbling, is certainly about to begin.

History suggests we have form here. At the outset, Diana, Princess of Wales, was deemed a suitably innocent future Queen. Before long she became a naive maniac. Sarah, Duchess of York was great fun - until she was rebranded as too much of it. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge was a picture-perfect bride but later dismissed as a "jointed doll" by the writer Hilary Mantel, and no one even spares a thought for Sophie, Countess of Wessex, praised for being an ordinary middle-class girl, before being ignored for being one.

Even those of us who view the new duchess as a good thing - a feminist who had a job and has been around the block - can see where the fault lines may start to appear.

Actress is top of the list - for the Duchess of Sussex is always acting, that's what makes her so good at it all. Consider the occasion when the "Fab Four" - William, Kate, Harry and Meghan - talked about mental health. The less fabulous three were frequently caught looking bored. Ms Markle's face was never other than rapturous with angelic interest. It was an incredible performance, but a performance nonetheless.
