Meghan Markle became one of the most popular members of the Royal Family after she married Prince Harry in 2018. Unfortunately for the Duchess of Sussex, she also became one of the most scrutinized.
It seems like Meghan Markle just couldn’t do anything right in her critics’ eyes. Even though the Duchess of Sussex tried to put on a brave face despite the unnecessary bashing, things became too much for her to handle when she endured the cruel abuse while pregnant to her and Prince Harry’s firstborn.
According to MailOnline, Meghan Markle sought solace in her friend Serena Williams. The tennis star then comforted the Duchess of Sussex and offered the services of her PR team.
The source shared that Meghan Markle confessed to Serena Williams that the “horrible trolling” she received after joining the Royal Family had hurt her. “Meghan’s obviously had some horrible trolling, plus people keep speculating about her relationship with Kate, so Serena feels she needs the ‘big guns’ behind her to set the record straight and shut everything down,” they said.
While Meghan Markle was very grateful for Serena Williams’ support, she has a good relationship with her own PR team and didn’t want to cause any issue by hiring a different one by accepting Serena’s offer.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a love-hate relationship with the press. One minute they enjoyed interacting with them; the next minute, they want the media to give them more privacy.
With that said, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been criticized heavily for this. However, they are not the only ones in the royal family who have this tricky relationship with the press. In fact, Princess Diana did the same thing as she, reportedly, courted the press but complained about them at the same time.
Piers Morgan, also, believed that Princess Diana was playing games with the media. The day that Prince Charles announced his relationship with Camilla, the press received a text message asking if they will be at the beach at 9 a.m., where Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed were vacationing.
According to Piers Morgan, Princess Diana wanted the media to capture her doing a cartwheel across the beach. Now, it seems like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are falling in the same trap as Princess Diana.
After courting the media during their engagement and the royal wedding, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, now, want them to give them space. The couple even sued a couple of British tabloids from breaching their privacy.
