Meghan Markle quickly realized that marrying into the royal family wasn’t as easy as it seemed. In a recent interview, she admitted, “It isn’t easy,” making some wonder if she has second thoughts about her decision.
Different Worlds
When Meghan first met Prince Harry, she told her friend Lizzie Cundy that he was “a catch.” However, she soon learned that being with a royal came with unexpected challenges. While they appear happy in public, things might not be as smooth behind the scenes.
Breaking Traditions
During the Trooping the Colour event, Meghan turned to speak with Harry while the national anthem was playing. He quickly told her to turn back, and she did, looking uncomfortable. This moment raised questions about whether adjusting to royal life was harder than she expected.
Raising Archie
Meghan may have concerns about how her son, Archie, fits into royal traditions. The Queen and Prince Philip did not attend his christening, leading to speculation. However, the Queen also missed Prince Louis’ christening, so it might not have been personal.
A New Lifestyle
Marrying Harry meant giving up certain freedoms. Meghan had to step away from social media, follow strict dress codes, and adjust to a new way of life. Small things like taking selfies or choosing her own outfits became complicated.
Past Relationships
Prince Harry’s exes are still part of his life. Chelsy Davy, one of his past girlfriends, even visited London around the time of a royal event. Reports also say Harry had an emotional call with her before his wedding to Meghan.
Royal Family Dynamics
Meghan has faced challenges within the family. Reports claim she had a tense moment with Kate Middleton over bridesmaid dresses. Even Prince William reportedly asked Harry if he was sure about the relationship before their wedding.
Career Sacrifices
Like Kate Middleton before her, Meghan had to give up her career. Once a lead actress on Suits, she left acting behind to take on royal responsibilities. For someone passionate about her work, this must have been a big adjustment.
Public Scrutiny
Meghan has received mixed reactions from the public and media. Some reports suggest that she struggled with constant attention and expectations. Kensington Palace even had to step in to address false stories and online criticism.
Changing Roles
Harry’s life has changed since marrying Meghan, with some saying he has become more distant from his old friends and past habits. The couple has also stepped back from royal duties, leading to financial and security adjustments.
A Different Reality
Meghan’s life has changed in ways she may not have fully expected. From leaving her career behind to adjusting to strict royal traditions, her journey has been complex. Whether she regrets her decision is unclear, but it’s obvious that this was not an easy transition.
