‘My British Friends Warned Me Not to Marry Prince Harry’ – Meghan Markle

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle has described the past year as a member of the royal family as ‘hard’ and said her British friends warned her not to marry Harry.

The US-born former actress said she had tried to cope with the pressures of her new life, since marrying the Duke of Sussex in May 2018, by putting on a ‘stiff upper lip’ but she was not prepared for the intensity of tabloid interest.

She told ITV documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey: ‘It’s hard. I don’t think anybody could understand that, but in all fairness, I had no idea, which probably sounds difficult to understand … but when I first met my now-husband my friends were really happy because I was so happy, but my British friends said to me, ‘I’m sure he’s great but you shouldn’t do it because the British tabloids will destroy your life’.’

Meghan, 38, said that, as an American, she ‘very naively’ thought this did not make any sense, adding: ‘I’m not in tabloids. I didn’t get it, so it’s been complicated.’
