After leaving life in the United Kingdom behind, Meghan Markle got candid about the cultural differences she had to overcome to assimilate into royalty after marrying Prince Harry. She added that there were no classes for her to learn everything, but she “really tried” to adhere to their traditional ways, despite eventually leaving for California. Here are five of the most surprising cultural differences she faced as an American in the British royal family.

Meghan has talked about trying to fit in with her in-laws, noting there were no classes for her to take as a royal in training. That might have to do with the cultural idea that people are born into their fated lot in life and, therefore, can’t learn to be something they’re not.

Playwright Katori Hall has won the Pulitzer Prize for drama for her comedy “The Hot Wing King.” The organization behind journalism’s most prestigious honor also bestowed a special citation on Darnella Frazier, the teenager who videotaped George Floyd’s murder at the hands of Minneapolis police in May 2020.
Hall is also a showrunner and executive producer of the Starz drama “P-Valley.” “Hot Wing King” opened Feb. 11, 2020, at New York’s Signature Theater but was forced to close only weeks later by the pandemic. The Pulitzer board cited Hall’s work for its “funny, deeply felt consideration of Black masculinity and how it is perceived, filtered through the experiences of a loving gay couple and their extended family as they prepare for a culinary competition.”
Frazier’s special citation commended her “for courageously recording the murder of George Floyd, a video that spurred protests against police brutality around the world,...

Manchester United and Liverpool have reportedly entered a three-way battle with AC Milan for the services of Ajax Amsterdam starlet Anwar El Ghazi.
The Italians are ready to kick the bidding off for the youngster with an £8 million offer, according to the Express.
But Milan’s initial approach is expected to kick off a bidding war with the Premier League giants for El Ghazi, who has earned two senior caps for his country.
United boss Louis van Gaal has hinted that he wants to recruit on the wing this transfer window, and 20-year-old fits the bill.
“I said on September 1 that I think we have a better balance in our selection,” he said back in November. “And I suspected we would do better than last year.
“But still I need more balance in my selection and I have already said that we need fast wingers to get...

The modern game has a shortage of world class strikers. That was the sentiment of Arsene Wenger this year at least, and many other managers look to be in agreement as Europe’s elite spend extortionate amounts of money on the few players available.
The result of this shortage is managers looking to theirs and others’ youth squads. Plucking out the hottest attacking talent and moulding them into the next superstar. Henry, Ronaldo and Messi cost less than £25million combined and almost single-handedly revolutionised their respective teams. And so we come to one of the greatest FIFA challenges for any burgeoning career manager to take on: developing a wonderkid into a superstar.
Only those in it for the long haul need apply. It will take multiple seasons of meticulous training, using the new FIFA 16 training system and lots of game time with the first team. And that...
