Meghan Markle seems to have some second thoughts about her exit from royal life four years ago. A leading royal expert claims that the Duchess of Sussex is feeling regretful about how she navigated her dramatic departure alongside Prince Harry, and it appears that her remarks have not landed as she might have hoped.
Kinsey Schofield, a well-known royal commentator, shared insights with Fox News indicating that Meghan has reconsidered some of her public statements. According to Schofield, “Meghan does regret certain statements that she made,” noting that the public reaction didn’t match her expectations, resulting in several comments blowing up in her face.
One particular source of regret seems to stem from the controversial discussions surrounding race that arose shortly after their Oprah interview. Meghan intended for the focus to center on her mental health struggles, but the implications surrounding accusations of royal racism overshadowed her message.
Schofield pointed out another misstep for Meghan: her decision to collaborate with The Cut for an in-depth interview. This too opened the floodgates for criticism from her detractors, providing them a steady stream of commentary to dissect.
Currently, the former actress enjoys a luxurious life in a $14 million mansion in Montecito, California, where she lives with Harry and their two beautiful children. Yet, her home is not just a haven; it’s also the foundation for a growing entrepreneurial spirit.
Markle has made impressive strides in her business endeavors, already investing in around ten brands. Her latest venture involves a financial commitment to Cesta Collective, a handbag brand founded by women, which resonates with her commitment to female empowerment.
Coinciding with her investments, Meghan is reportedly launching her own lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard, with aspirations to unveil it later this year. This new direction reflects her ambition and her desire to carve out a unique niche in the business world.
Schofield describes Meghan’s life in California as both “isolated but structured.” Navigating friendships in her new environment comes with a set of expectations; Meghan tends to surround herself with individuals who can contribute to her personal growth.
In her quest for genuine connections, she prioritizes trust and privacy, leading to a small circle of friends. Despite being friendly with local residents of Montecito, Meghan remains cautious as everyone in her surroundings has achieved considerable success.
However, there seems to be a discrepancy between how it appears Meghan is coping and the reality of her feelings. Schofield mentions that sightings of the Sussexes have become rare, and attempts to build new relationships often go unanswered.
Meghan is keen on giving the impression that she’s moved forward from past dramas, yet underlying resentments still linger, influencing her work and public image over the past three and a half years.
Looking ahead, Schofield doesn’t foresee Meghan making a return to the UK anytime soon. Despite Harry’s recent visit for his uncle’s funeral, it seems the couple prefers to maintain their distance, highlighting their ongoing estrangement from the royal family.
With aspirations for her new business venture and a focus on her family, if American Riviera Orchard thrives, Schofield believes that Meghan will find fulfillment in her work, emphasizing her desire to create a life she truly enjoys.
