Of all the funny headlines we’ve ever read about Meghan Markle, this is the funniest:

“Royal Staff Grumpy After Meghan Markle and Harry Given New Suite At Buckingham Palace”

Yes! STAFF, GRUMPY! We thought these kinds of conversations about nayee bahu and ghar ki paramparaa and domestic staff being tradition’s gatekeepers ( apart from being housekeepers) was the kind of thing only ‘Indian housewives’ are supposed to be into, but apparently not. Going by the way the domestic life and jethani -devrani relationship between Meghan and Kate are portrayed in international tabloids, the whole world seems to love a Saas- Bahu soap!

Kate as badi bahu , seen as the modern torchbearer for family traditions, and Meghan as chhoti bahu a new American entrant who must do all she can to fit in quickly, but who with her husband chose to move out of the ‘ joint family’ home Kensington Palace. If the twists and turns of  the domestic life of the Windsors as scripted by the tabloids is not an Indian soap with a foreign cast, then we don’t know what is.
