Meghan Markle feels lonely as she tries to navigate her life in the UK.

The Duchess of Sussex, who is currently living in Cosworth with husband Prince Harry and their two children, is feeling isolated after leaving behind her mother and close friends in California.

An insider reveals: “It’s no secret Meghan agreed to this move to make Harry happy, but it’s already turning out to be way harder than even she anticipated. She is very homesick, she misses her mom, her friends, the beach - even her chickens.”

The source tells Heat World: “She has a lot more freedom in California too. She can jump in the car to go shopping or meet someone for lunch without thinking too much about it, whereas she’s much more nervous about being out in public in England, so there’s a real sense of isolation.”

“On top of that, they’ve got all this financial stress, so there’s just an overwhelming amount on her plate, of course, she’s feeling it,” said the source.

Prince Harry left the Royal Family back in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle and son, Prince Archie. The couple later accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television. Harry and Meghan now live in California, where they also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
