In recent times, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has been under the media's relentless spotlight. A new revelation adds another layer to the narrative surrounding her emotional well-being. While Prince Harry was on work assignments in Asia, Meghan Markle reportedly resorted to wearing a "stress patch," signaling her distress during his absence.
A source close to the royal couple shared that Meghan's use of the patch might be "a silent but effective cry for help," particularly directed towards Prince Harry. The insider elaborated, "It's an SOS that could signal that she's really struggling with the sheer scale of stress and the weight of responsibility that's on her shoulders."
The Duchess has been grappling with a barrage of negative media attention, especially after an incident in Manhattan on May 16, which was described as a "near catastrophic car chase." Although the couple's representatives labeled the reports as "exaggerated," the Mayor of New York City even raised questions about the veracity of their claims. The subsequent months saw the Duke and Duchess being dropped by Spotify in June, with one of the studio's executives even dubbing them as "f------ grifters." The negative press has been relentless since then.
The anonymous source shed light on Meghan's emotional state, noting, "She's feeling quite needy because there's so much uncertainty at the moment." Despite the challenges, Meghan remains determined to rise "above it all" alongside Harry. The Prince, who has been in the media's crosshairs due to his memoir, "Spare," and recent court cases in London, is deeply concerned about Meghan's well-being. "Harry has been desperately worried about Meghan and all the stress she's had to endure for longer than he can remember," the source revealed.
The couple's commitment to each other remains unwavering. Prince Harry has been urging Meghan to persevere, fully cognizant of the challenges since he faces similar pressures. The insider added, "The fact she's now resorting to wellness patches to cope makes Harry even more concerned."
In the coming days, the couple is slated to attend the Invictus Games in Germany, starting September 9. This follows the August 30 premiere of Prince Harry's much-anticipated documentary, "Heart of Invictus," on Netflix. Additionally, the duo is set to produce "Meet Me at the Lake" for Netflix once the Hollywood strikes conclude.
The unfolding events around the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to captivate global audiences, with many hoping for a respite from the relentless media scrutiny for the couple.
