Duchess’ regret: One thing she wishes she could undo amidst royal scrutiny

The fairy tale of marrying a prince and becoming a duchess has long been a dream for many, but for Meghan Markle, the reality of royal life has reportedly been a relentless challenge.

The Duchess of Sussex, who once graced our screens as the paralegal Rachel Zane on the hit TV series Suits, is said to yearn for the days before her royal title and the global scrutiny that came with it.


Millions around the world watched Meghan's transition from Hollywood actress to senior member of the British Royal Family.

Her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018 was a global event, celebrated and scrutinized equally.

However, less than two years into their royal roles, the Sussexes made the unprecedented decision to step back from their duties and move to California.

A source close to the Sussexes recently confided to OK! Magazine that Meghan misses the 'care-free' life she had before her royal engagement.

'Meghan has made no secret of how much she misses her carefree life when she was an actress, and while she’d never change what she has with Harry and the kids, there is a big part of her that she wishes she could just get her old life back,' the source revealed.

‘She loved being in Suits and all the opportunities it gave her. She’d get invited to all the exclusive events and get to hang out with Hollywood A-listers, but there was so much less scrutiny and attention, and there was no pressure on her.’


Meghan's struggles with the media and her quest for privacy have been well-documented.

In a candid moment at a film festival in Texas, she shared her strategy of avoiding social media to protect her mental health.

Adding to the Duchess's challenges, an upcoming German investigative documentary threatens to delve into her past, potentially stirring up more public interest and commentary.

Ulrike Grunewald's documentary for the ZDF network aims to provide an in-depth look at Meghan's life before her royal chapter.

The production team has even travelled to Montecito, California, to speak with Harry and Meghan's neighbours to gain insight into the couple's private life.


However, the project has hit a snag, with the production team pausing to seek legal advice over the content.

‘The team wants to make sure that everything used on Meghan Markle is correct,’ they said.

‘Every detail will be checked and double-checked to ensure that it is legally sound and factually correct.’

In related news, Meghan Markle faced social media backlash after a video surfaced showing her seemingly telling a woman not to stand next to Prince Harry at a polo event.

The widely discussed incident has led some to label the Duchess's behaviour 'rude'. Read more about this news here.

Yes; we turn to conquering other places, such as Australia and New Zealand! But but but someone had to keep the Frenchies at bay after what they had done to humanity at Jamestown.
I don't know that history - 'humanity at Jamestown' ... is that The Seven Years’ War?

Did you hear them on Oprah. Came out of their mouth's, not the medias
 
Plain and simple she thought she found an easy meal ticket in Harry & the royal family. All she seen was the glitz and shine. Bad luck girly, it backfired and now you have to face the music. She should have done her research better of what she had to do for the part.

Wherever it was that the French navy blockaded the British army so that some British General couldn't manage to get enough supplies to get out and clobber George Washington's army in concert with another British army coming from the north. Anyway, that was the end of the attempts to make the good British citizens of northern America to pay taxes and the glimmer of the beginning of the scheme to dump British convicts in Australia instead. Yorktown, not Jamestown, 1781, Gen. Cornwallis.
 
She is a conniving lying bitch who has ruined Harry ! She married him hoping to become Queen ! The family should have looked into her background before allowing her into the family. Probably the color thing stopped that from happening.
Harry is weak and she convinced him to turn on his own family. I think he now regrets it. It will all be proved eventually !

She married the wrong brother if she expected to be Queen.
George, Charlotte and Louie are ahead of Harry now.
 
I am not that important like Megan,that I yearn for privacy.My life revolves around my family and those I choose to be friends with,so to answer the question asked.No I don't yearn
Luckily I get all the privacy I need as I love my own company & have it for most of the day. The only time I have interaction is at Dinner time when my carer cooks my dinner & we eat together but as I am much slower than him ,that usually ends halfway through the meal. He does make me several cups of tea when he gets up & during the day, but in the evening he leaves me to my TV choices & watches his own choice. in the garage with the dogs, I go to bed about 10.30 & he whenever he chooses.
 
I can't imagine the distress and anguish that constant paparazzi would cause.. it drove poor Diana crazy as it would anyone, and she was the most photographed woman in the world. No privacy or quiet moments away from home would be awful.
Yes it drove Diana crazy but Meg craves it ! She keeps coming up with hare brained schemes to get more attention but they all fail ! Poor Meg …… NOT.

Your opinion. But that's ok. We're all entitled to our own opinions
 
She didn't appear too unhappy in the early days when meeting and marrying Harry... she sucked up all the fame and attention.
It's only now that she hates it - for all the negativity she has created! :mad:
Such a narcissistic hypocrite!!!
She has even become estranged from her own father, and as he says he can't see his grandchildren but even a photograph would be nice to have now. Such a FAKE
