Not long ago, the British public couldn't get enough of Meghan Markle, the American actress preparing to become a princess. As she dazzled alongside her fiancé, Prince Harry, the world watched with bated breath for the upcoming royal wedding. But as the big day approaches, Meghan's fairy tale seems to be taking a turn. Reports suggest her world is unraveling amidst the release of Andrew Morton’s controversial biography and past acquaintances airing grievances. Rather than being filled with excitement, sources say the 36-year-old bride-to-be is feeling isolated and overwhelmed, facing accusations of being "cold," "self-serving," and a "social climber" from those closest to her.
In the midst of this turmoil, Meghan's confidence is being tested. Controversial biographer Andrew Morton has unveiled his new book, Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, which paints a less-than-flattering picture of the future Duchess. Excerpts have already been released to the public, sparking backlash and reportedly forcing Meghan to retreat from the spotlight.
The Struggles of a Modern Princess
It's no secret that Meghan and Harry were notably absent from the royal family’s traditional Easter Sunday church appearance. A palace insider recently told Australia’s Woman’s Day, “Attendance is usually mandatory, so it’s a clear sign Meghan needed a break.” After giving up her successful acting career and leaving her home in the U.S., Meghan's anxieties about her new role have reportedly been mounting. As the wedding draws nearer, friends say she's questioning her ability to handle the relentless scrutiny that comes with royal life.

To cope, Meghan is said to have secretly returned to her hometown of Los Angeles last week to spend time with her yoga instructor mother, Doria Ragland. “I’ll always find immense comfort in her support,” Meghan once said of her mom. For someone stepping into such a high-pressure role, having a trusted confidant by her side is crucial.
Harry’s Concern for His Bride
Meanwhile, Prince Harry, 33, is also grappling with his own worries. He's fiercely protective of Meghan and is deeply concerned about the negative attention she's receiving. According to a source, “Harry wants the critics to back off and leave Meghan alone, especially as their wedding day approaches.” Having witnessed his late mother, Princess Diana, struggle under the same intense media scrutiny, Harry understands the challenges Meghan faces all too well.
Woman’s Day reports that Harry’s brother, Prince William, 35, and his wife, Kate Middleton, 36, have also stepped in to offer support. The Duchess of Cambridge has been advising Meghan on navigating the early days of royal life. “Kate knows better than anyone what it’s like to endure such scrutiny, and she’s assured Meghan that things will eventually settle down,” the source shared. Kate encourages Meghan to tune out the noise and focus on the joy of her upcoming wedding.
