Meghan Markle Faces Isolation As Harry Increases UK Stays

Meghan Markle is reportedly feeling isolated and overwhelmed as her lifestyle brand, As Ever, struggles to achieve expected growth, leading to frustration and emotional strain. While Meghan manages her brand and children in California, Prince Harry is spending more time in the UK, engaging in charitable work and reconnecting with his roots, which has contributed to Meghan's sense of distance and dual life pressures. Despite initial excitement for As Ever, including a partnership with Netflix, the brand's financial performance has been disappointing, affecting Meghan's confidence and leaving her feeling like she's carrying the burden alone. Meghan has also experienced high turnover in her communications team, losing her tenth publicist in five years, which complicates managing her public image. In personal moments shared during a book event, Meghan revealed family rituals like the "rose and thorn" technique with her children and traveling with scented candles to maintain a sense of home. Meanwhile, Harry's nostalgia for his previous life and plans to spend more time in the UK have heightened Meghan's feelings of isolation, as she leans on her close friends for support.
