Meghan Markle might be feeling some royal regret.
The Duchess just revealed the shocking news that her friends warned her not to marry Prince Harry.
The reason why? The British tabloids are to blame.
This past summer alone, the Duchess's character has been put into question countless times by select outlets of the British media.
The British media also came for the former actress since she had worn jeans to the event.
The attack was unwarranted since Meghan wasn't at the event in a "royal capacity," nor was she sitting in the royal box.
After much criticism, Elton John had to step in by explaining that it was his private jet that he loaned to the couple.
He even explained that the private plane was carbon-neutral since the couple were also criticized for not caring about the environment.
Harry made that surprising announcement on October 1, in addition to revealing the stressful toll the media's bullying has done to his wife.
"A ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son.
He went on to say that he "cannot begin to describe how painful it has been."
This included News UK ("The Sun") and MGN, who formerly owned "The Mirror."
Both publications allegedly hacked into royal voicemail messages.
In it, she described how disappointed she was that her father was lying and saying bad things about Harry to the tabloids.
She even revealed that her British friend warned her not to marry Prince Harry.
The reason why? "Because the British tabloids will destroy your life."
She told her friend: "What are you talking about? That doesn’t make any sense. I’m not in tabloids. I didn’t get it. So it’s been, yeah, it’s been complicated.”
She said:
“Any woman, especially when they’re pregnant...you’re really vulnerable and so that was made really challenging."
Thankfully, lots of good came out of her brave vulnerability as soon, #WeLoveYouMeghan was trending on Twitter.
That's because, during a separate interview for the same documentary, Harry revealed that he isn't as close as he used to be with his brother, Prince William.
