There’s no denying that one of the toughest parts about royal life is the constant glare of the public eye. And if you’re Meghan Markle, navigating all the drama surrounding her family issues with dad Thomas Markle and the swirling rumors about her alleged tension with Kate Middleton must be overwhelming. But here’s the thing—Meghan’s not going it alone. According to a recent report from Closer UK, the Duchess of Sussex has been leaning on her close friends to help her navigate this challenging time.
“Meghan just didn’t anticipate how intense the scrutiny would be, and over the past few weeks, a narrative has started to build that she can be tough to work with,” a source told the magazine. “While [Prince] Harry has been an incredible support system, Meghan has also been relying heavily on her girlfriends. She’s been talking and texting them daily, crediting them with helping her get through these tough months.”
Meghan’s been getting some solid advice from her powerhouse friends—Amal Clooney, Priyanka Chopra, and Serena Williams. These women know a thing or two about facing false stories and public scrutiny, so it’s no wonder Meghan finds comfort in their understanding. “Amal, Priyanka, and Serena have been through similar experiences, so it’s reassuring for Meghan that they get it,” an insider explained.

When it comes to helping Meghan deal with the negativity, Amal, 40, has reportedly suggested she focus more on herself, while Serena, 37, believes meditation could be a game-changer. “Amal encouraged her to cut back on checking the internet as much as possible, and Serena has been pushing her to meditate to help her disconnect,” the source revealed. “Meghan knew her role would come with sacrifices, but she wasn’t ready for just how tough it would be.”
Prince Harry has been doing everything he can to support his wife through this difficult time, even though he’s reportedly feeling quite “powerless” in the current situation. A different source told Us Weekly that “keeping [Meghan] away from all the negativity and harm has been tough for him” and “he’s incredibly frustrated by how little can be done.” It’s clear that no matter what, Harry will always have Meghan’s back.
