Meghan Markle is said to be struggling with anxiety as she weighs taking a huge life decision.
According to reports, the Duchess of Sussex is considering making a possible return to the UK for the first time in four years.
A source told Radar Online that Meghan is anxious over the thought of facing intense media scrutiny which is deeply unsettling for her.
The former Suits star has not visited the country since 2022, while Prince Harry has made several solo trips back for court hearings and official engagements.
Amid speculation that Meghan could join him this summer for an event linked to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, the insider said that her main worry is not security or protocol.
"Her biggest worry is not logistics or protocol – it is the sheer volume of press attention and negativity she expects,” the insider said.
They added, “She feels the U.K. media climate toward her has only hardened."
Speaking on it, a royal expert said that Meghan “would approach a visit with a great deal of anxiety because the rift within the royal family remains unresolved.
“From her point of view, the underlying tensions are still very much there, which makes the idea of coming back feel emotionally fraught rather than reassuring."
They continued, "Her approval numbers in the U.K. remain extremely low, with a clear majority still opposed to her.
“She is acutely aware that large sections of the British press remain openly hostile, and that level of animosity would inevitably make any return difficult and uncomfortable."
