No problem with that. When in someone else's country, you obey the protocols.

Why did she go to HR (if she did)

Nice little jab, reminding everyone she's a filthy liar.  She went to Human Resources because she was at a loss as to where else to go.  It was a last resort.

She should have consulted the medical staff who deal with the Royal Family.

There is one doctor in Buckingham Palace and the queen has her own medical team.  There is not a team of medical staff on standby for the entire Royal Family.  Her first chance of getting help was through "the Institution".

She didn't disclose who this person was, or their title.

"I went to the institution. And I said that I needed to go somewhere to get help," she said.

"I said, I never felt this way before and I need to go somewhere.  I was told that I couldn't. That it wouldn't be good for the institution."

She said it was after that conversation that she went to human resources asking for assistance, with no luck.

"I remember this conversation like it was yesterday, because they said, 'my heart goes out to you because I see how bad it is. But there's nothing we can do to protect you because you're not a paid employee of the institution'," she said.

"This wasn't a choice. This was emails and begging for help, saying very specifically, 'I am concerned for my mental welfare'.

"And people going, 'yes, yes, it's disproportionately terrible to what we see out there to anyone else', but nothing was ever done."

Answer this question, please.  What is in it for Meghan to lie?  What does she have to gain, vs everything she is losing, not to mention all the hate being piled on her from all over the world.  Why would she deliberately subject herself to this backlash if it were all a lie, and she was perfectly fine and happy being a member of the Royal Family?

You completely missed the point.

Who set up the protocols to begin with?

She's taking her husband away from his family and away from the military and charitable role that he valued. She's ensuring that Harry's only focus is her, Archie and their new life together.. The best way to do that is to blame the family for the split and that's what she's doing.

Then explain what you meant.

It's Ashante tradition that the Chief is carried on a palanquin. 

(Nothing to do with the evil Brits forcing noble African warriors to bend the knee and carry them everywhere.)

At last you've put your finger on her probable motivation. Being a working member of the Royal Family would mean the end of her life as an actress and would mean that she moved permanently to the UK and turned her back on her previous minor celebrity life and was distanced from her American friends. 

She certainly wasn't happy to be a member of the Royal Family, but had to manufacture circumstances to detach Harry from his family, friends and his life of service.

That she has done very effectively, for the time being, at least. 

In the future, Harry may realise that he's been manipulated. 

I am sure William and Harry are talking and I am guessing HM is also involved , Harry has to be cautious that he does not end up like a very disenchanted Uncle of his 80 years previously

Oh yes, I agree. It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that he's in occasional contact with Charles and the Queen as well as William. However, he has to play that carefully. If Meghan is sensible then she ought to accept that contact, but she may regard it as behind her back disloyal and give Harry a kicking.
