Meghan Markle faces unexpected challenges after moving to UK

Meghan Markle is said to be struggling to adjust to her new life in Britain as she misses the comforts of California.

A new source claimed that the Duke of Sussex's English bed “isn’t as comfortable.”

"Meghan is doing her best to keep her chin up and put on a happy face for Harry because he's been begging her to cheer up and have some patience," a source toldStar magzine. "But all the pub lunches in the world aren't going to change the fact that she is desperately homesick already."

It is worth mentioning here that Prince Harry and Meghan lived in Montecito, Calif., for six years before returning to Britain in August.

"She misses their property in Montecito, she misses going to the beach, she misses her friends," another insider told the outlet.

"She's so grateful that her best friend [Kelly Zajfen] came out with her kids and husband for a visit to try and help her get through this transition, but it's not as though she can stay forever," the confidant continued.

"Meghan does have friends in the area and Harry assumed that would help, but this is about more than just being lonely," the source explained. "The uncomfortable truth is that Meghan's struggling with the stuffiness and slow pace of the U.K. so this isn't something that can really be fixed."

"She's usually full of solutions and strives for positivity, but this is the biggest challenge of her life," a tipster added.
