Meghan Markle has just hit a pretty devastating struggle and its aftereffects haven’t stopped hitting the Duchess who feels ‘degraded’ by the Palace.

For those unversed with the cause of this, it stems from their UK trip that happened just a few weeks ago. Not only was it riddled with rules, and limitations and downright bans, but it seems things were so bad that that she felt they were being ‘degraded’ and ‘muzzled’ in a way.

A source explained it all in great detail, and got pretty candid at some points.

According to Heat, “not being allowed to take photos or post anything about the visit was especially insulting, and it still really stings.”

Another thing they made sure to explain is, “Meghan accepts that they need to stay in the royals’ good graces, especially when it comes to his father, and that it means a lot to Harry for her to be a part of this relationship rebuild.” But “she’s worried that they’re degrading themselves by caving into all of this censorship that means they’re essentially muzzled or backed into a corner where they have no voice or right to express themselves in their own way.”

Whats worse in her eyes allegedly is the fact that “it was upsetting enough that they didn’t receive ideal or adequate security during this trip,” which meant she and the kids were “pretty much in hiding the whole time and unable to walk around England with their heads held high. Then, the fact they couldn’t share photos from their brief visit with Harry’s family was a step too far in her mind, especially when the royals are constantly uploading posts to their own social media pages and this was, after all, a supposedly joyous event for all concerned that deserved to be celebrated.”

Allegedly in the eyes of this mother-of-two, “even that one image of Lili in the garden [at Althorp] has been used as a stick to beat them with.”

So “she’s so annoyed by that” the insider added in their concluding remarks but not before admitting “things need to be a lot more relaxed next time or there’s no way she’ll come.”
