Maybe my vibes are going the wrong way, but I still believe that the Christmas Day stroll at Sandringham revealed that Prince Harry and Prince William are the ones who are “feuding,” not Meghan and Kate. Meghan and Kate are doing what so many wives/sisters-in-law do: they’re trying to clean up the mess left from their husbands’ fighting and angst. When you think about it, doesn’t it seem like Harry is particularly disturbed by the press’s recent treatment of Meghan? I think that might explain why Harry and Meghan were pretty quiet over the holidays, because Harry is like “let’s get out of town, let’s get away from this nonsense.” Plus, all of this is happening while Meghan is pregnant, and it’s the first child for both of them, so of course that just adds a mountain of additional stress. According to Us Weekly, Meghan is really feeling it:
Duchess Meghan can’t help but let the public’s opinion get to her. “Meghan has so much on her plate, between being pregnant and dealing with the public backlash, and she’s finding the whole situation incredibly stressful,” a royal insider reveals exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly.
In the months following Meghan’s May 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, the Suits alum has faced accusations of entitlement and made headlines for allegedly feuding with Duchess Kate. Most recently, a December Vanity Fair story painted the 37-year-old former actress as a social climber. A second source tells Us that Meghan (née Markle) is “definitely bothered by all the reports and speculation” and notes “some things are just hard to stay away from.”
I mean, this is kind of a nothingburger reveal – of course she’s bothered by the campaign being waged against her. Of course she’s feeling stressed. I would think that Harry is mega-stressed too. That being said, I would bet a lot of money that Meghan is already gaming out her next moves, and figuring out what the next year is going to look like. There will be great headlines to come for the Sussexes – their first child, settling into Frogmore in Windsor, Meghan taking on some prominent patronages. As we saw with today’s big reveal – new patronages and a surprise event – Meghan is already putting her plan into action. She’s not sitting around, crying about the smear campaign. She’s ready.
Also: I still really believe that Meghan is expecting a girl, and that’s what Harry wants too.

Living your best life is the best “revenge “.
A little girl would be Charles’ dream, too.
One hopes that if Meghan is reading the tabs then she’s hopefully also found her way to this site. I hope she knows that she has a large group of fun, educated women that support her here!
US Weekly since it was purchased by Trumps friend, totally turned into a racist rag, fake news rag.
That’s all.
Hi Meghan! *waves*
I would be surprised if she didn’t find it stressful. Her life is completely different now.
That’s it, minx, you’re right. It’s just the sheer amount of change. Massive adaptation, regardless of what the change is to.
I would find life in the public eye unbearable. I really like Meghan and I hope for many long years of admiring her work, but I don’t consider her life especially enviable. Some aspects, sure, but the whole package deal of public scrutiny and family drama, no. Takes a unique person to handle all that with grace.
I love her and them together so I don’t know why but I feel like this relationship is going to end badly. No real reason, just a feeling. But rooting for them to have a happy family and make it long term!!
Same here.
She is a strong independent woman, a feminist, I think sooner or later, after the honeymoon phase, her personality will feel like trapped by the laws of The Firm.
I feel that way about William with Kate, I think his 40’s are going to be hell for Kate.
Despite years of dating , marriage and kids, I just think William 40’s are going to reveal a lot.
Kate never aspired to anything more than being a SAHM so if something goes wrong for W&K it will have to be from his end not hers.
Unless Harry grows and matures with her. I think they have the capacity to stretch and grow and do new things together. His willingness to fight for her was admirable and promising. His protective anger at the press for her is also convincing.
Can’t believe how every cornoernof the world is on her azz – toxic dad, jealous in-laws, racist relatives, petty relatives, toxic relatives no wonder she’s happy to be in the public eye and deal with people that support her goals and interests live your beat life and if anything happens to their baby by waybof stress god help them all
I really don’t buy into the sturm und drang stories about the stress the so-called palace sources have manufactured about Duchess Meghan. What I have always appreciated about her is the confidence she has exuded in the face of her crazy paternal family members, internet racists, and palace courtiers who have desperately held on to the archaic ways of doing things. She has already been educated on how to deal with her toxic family members’ antics and I am certain that she has learned to close off her feelings as it pertains to them. Unlike Diana, Princess of Wales, she appears to have a clear understanding what she married into and her role in the BRF. I always got the impression that Diana had fantasy ideas about marrying Prince Charles and having a “happily ever after” from a marriage that was clearly arranged. I envision her and Prince Harry in it for the long haul.
Meghan hasn’t “dealt” with her toxic family members but she just cut them off. Including her own father. What is going to happen should a family member from the Royal Family annoy her and be declared “toxic”? Is she going to cut them off, too?
Yes, that’s how you deal with toxic family members, since there’s no way to reason with someone that has no sense of reason. I mean, a person in their right mind doesn’t act the way her father and sister are acting. How is she supposed to have a relationship with her father when he makes it clear with every paid appearance that he’ll gleefully sell her out to make a buck? You can’t honestly consider their behavior NOT toxic… can you?
This comment is completely insane. Good for you if you’ve never had a toxic person in your life. Don’t gaslight someone you don’t know for taking care of her mental health.
It helps that Meghan isn’t some 19yo virgin girl who was groomed to be some nobleman’s baby vessel her whole life like Diana was. She never had a chance.
Well of course she is a ‘social climber’. Any outsider who marries into the RF must be a ‘social climber’ . Sophie was. Kate and her mother wrote the book on social climbing.
There is no campaign against Meghan – there are some nasty news and that is about as much as there was about Kate in her just-married years.
Wrong. Social Media is filled with not only Piers Morgan but thousands of screeching women and men who find Meghan not good enough and also a danger somehow to Will and Kate. I find it interesting that a lot of the most vile comments are coming from women. If they are Royalists, why aren’t they happy that Diana’s son (Harry) is happy? I hope this phase of negative press subsides soon.
I was erased, like the brother from the picture in back to the future. First rule of celebitchy is thou shall not criticize celebitchy, not even mildly. There is someone else, pretty famous, you cover him a lot, who can’t stand even the mildest criticism and seeks to censor those who dare speak against him. I would like ya’ll to reflect on what you stand for, and really prove it.
well said, Jay.
Who Jay? Confused.
My guess would be Trump.
I hear you Jay. You can’t speak here. Try banned from celebitchy.
