Meghan Markle, Prince Harry to take sabbatical with baby Archie, want to move out of U.K.: report - Fox News

Meghan Markle feels she is "existing not living" in an emotional new ITV documentary about her and Prince Harry.

The Duchess of Sussex was close to tears as she described herself as having felt "vulnerable" while speaking about being a new mom.

Tom Bradby, who followed the royal couple's recent tour for ITV documentary "Harry and Meghan: An African Journey," has now revealed she appears "bruised."

MEGHAN MARKLE, PRINCE HARRY SHARE SWEET MOMENT WITH SON ARCHIE IN UPCOMING DOCUMENTARY

He wrote in The Sunday Times about being "moved to tears" at certain parts of the show, which is due to air tonight.

The news anchor said: "But I couldn’t quite shake a sense of sadness, too, at the powerful impression that this young family, happy in themselves, is struggling to adapt to life in the spotlight.

"Can you cope with this, I asked Meghan at the end? I don’t know, her demeanor seemed to suggest, 'I just don’t know. We are,' she said, 'taking it one day at a time.'

"As we lifted off for home, I found myself left with a single question: if they can’t cope with this; if it is, as she says, 'existing not living;' what then?"

The documentary delves into the effect intense media scrutiny has had on former actress Duchess Meghan and how the couple are "buckling" under pressure.

In a preview clip of the program, Duchess Meghan revealed her new royal life has been "a struggle," adding: "Not many people have asked if I'm OK."

She replies to a question about her physical and mental health by describing the recent difficulties she's gone through since becoming a royal and new mom to baby Archie.

Duchess Meghan says: "Look, any woman, especially when they are pregnant, you're really vulnerable and so that was made really challenging.

"And then when you have a new born, you know... And especially as a woman, it's a lot.

"So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed it's, well..."

Duchess Meghan continues: "Also thank you for asking, because not many people have asked if I'm OK.

"But it's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes."

MEGHAN MARKLE'S DAD REVEALS WHY HE PUBLICIZED PRIVATE LETTER: 'I HAD TO DEFEND MYSELF'

Bradby asks her: "And the answer is, would it be fair to say, not really OK, as it's really been a struggle?"

At this point, Meghan looks visibly upset and replies: "Yes."

She has now received a huge outpouring of support from more than 70,000 fans with the hashtag "WeLoveYouMeghan" the top trend on Twitter.

PRINCE HARRY SUES TWO BRITISH TABLOIDS OVER ALLEGED VOICEMAIL HACKING

Bradby said of the documentary: "It will be for everyone to judge — you may even have seen the clip we released on Friday — but both of them in this trip came across as more vulnerable and bruised than the spoiled, petulant, arrogant and entitled caricatures that are sometimes tied to the public whipping post."

The program comes amid reports that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are looking to build a new home in Botswana to lead a more private life and "focus" on Africa.

In the hour-long documentary, Harry expresses a desire to leave the U.K. and says Cape Town would also be “an amazing place to base ourselves.”

Although he later concedes such a move might not be possible.

Princess Harry and Duchess Meghan are said to be planning a six-week break from from royal duties starting next month so they can enjoy some “family time.”

The couple are believed to be planning on taking baby son Archie to the U.S. in November to celebrate Thanksgiving in Los Angeles, where Duchess Meghan’s mom Doria Ragland lives.

But the tot is due to spend his first Christmas at the Queen’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk with the rest of the Royal Family.

JLaw Gets Hitched - Newser

(Newser) – May the odds be ever in her favor: Jennifer Lawrence, 29, joined the ranks of the married on Saturday, tying the knot with fiance Cooke Maroney, 34, at a posh Rhode Island mansion that People reports was inspired by a little old thing like Louis XIII's hunting lodge at Versailles. Guests numbered 150 and included the likes of Adele, Emma Stone, Amy Schumer, and Ashley Olsen. Lawrence wore a Dior gown for the big day, and the couple hosted a clam bake for the rehearsal dinner on Friday. The Oscar winner seemed to have zero jitters about commitment, previously telling People, "I want to legally bind him to me forever. And fortunately the paperwork exists for such a thing. You find your favorite person on the planet and you’re like, 'You can’t leave!'" (Read more Jennifer Lawrence stories.)

Jennifer Lawrence is now married, People magazine has confirmed.

The Oscar-winning actress wed art gallerist Cooke Maroney in a Rhode Island wedding, attended by the likes of Sienna Miller, Adele, Emma Stone, Amy Schumer, and Kris Jenner.

After a clambake wedding rehearsal dinner on the private Rose Island, Lawrence and Maroney's nuptials took place in the mansion Belcourt of Newport. According to People, the venue has a seasoned history and is even thought to be haunted. It does, however, feature a jaw-dropping ballroom, making it the perfect wedding venue.

People reported that Lawrence wore a Dior gown for her big day, which was attended by around 150 guests.

In an adorable interview on the NAKED with Catt Sadler podcast back in June 2019, Lawrence revealed, "I definitely wasn’t at a place where I was like, ‘I’m ready to get married.' I just met Cooke and I wanted to marry him."

The actress also explained that the feeling was very much mutual and said, "We wanted to marry each other. We wanted to commit fully."

"He’s my best friend, so I want to legally bind him to me forever," she said. "And fortunately the paperwork exists for such a thing. It’s the greatest. You find your favorite person on the planet and, you’re like, 'You can’t leave!' So I wanted to take that offer."

Congratulations to the happy couple on their wedding day!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Relationship With The Media Is Much Worse - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Being in the spotlight certainly can’t be easy — there is no doubt about that. When you are a celebrity or a public figure, it is difficult to do the ordinary, everyday things that most of us simply take for granted. Doing something as basic as stepping out for a cup of coffee can set the stage for a flurry of photographers, and many high-profile people have their privacy invaded each and every day.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been a media sensation for years now, and it is somewhat safe to say that things are actually getting a little out of hand. In the early stages of their relationship, Prince Harry actually released a statement out of concern for Markle’s safety, given that she was suddenly being hassled by the media.

As members of the royal family, fans around the world, as well as media outlets, take a great interest in everything the Duke and Duchess of Sussex do on a daily basis. Why is Prince Harry and Markle’s relationship with the media much worse than most people realize?

Prince Harry knows all too well the negative effects of the media

Prince Harry was only twelve years old when his beloved mother, Princess Diana, was tragically killed in a car accident in Paris. The car Princess Diana was traveling in was going at an exceptionally high speed in order to escape the watchful eyes of photographers when they crashed into a concrete pillar in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel, according to Reader’s Digest.

This changed Prince Harry‘s life drastically and is something that will always be with him. Many blame the media — specifically, the paparazzi — for the late princess’s death. And it would not be surprising if Prince Harry harbored strong feelings about the industry and its people.

Meghan Markle’s personal letter was published

While at Victoria Yards in Johannesburg this afternoon, The Duchess of Sussex had the opportunity to learn more about the importance of, and how to enable a ‘wellbeing economy’ thanks to Co-Director of the Maker’s Valley Partnership, Simon Sizwe. Simon was awarded a full scholarship to attend the Young African Leaders Initiative programme initiated by President Obama, and he explained that by investing in the overall well-being of a community and its people, and focusing on that economy, you can enrich everyone for a better quality of life. She also met with the owners of Sobae Frozen, an entrepreneurial duo who created their small business as a solution to food waste, creating vegan sorbet from unused fruit from Victoria Yards. At the end of her visit, The Duchess was moved by the original poetry of Belita Andre, the winner of the Poetry Grandslam. In her reading she said: “The Maker’s Valley is a social and enterprise hub, a wave between my corner of the world and yours. Insisting that beyond the anchors of survival. How to make sure that everyone gets to shore, pass around an ocean of stars, not because our sleepless nights are equal but because our dreams are.” • #RoyalVisitSouthAfrica

A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal) on Sep 30, 2019 at 11:06am PDT

Prince Harry isn’t the only one who feels the effects of the news media. Not too long ago, Duchess Meghan wrote a very personal letter to her estranged father: Thomas Markle.

According to CBS News, the Duchess of Sussex is involved in a lawsuit against a British tabloid for leaking the contents of the letter, in which she wrote about her feelings regarding her family situation. The media has also been reporting on her personal life and her reputation a lot — and it’s far from a positive spin.

Prince Harry filed lawsuits against two tabloids

As if the incident involving Markle’s leaked letter weren’t enough for the royal couple to be dealing with, Page Six reports that Prince Harry has filed lawsuits against two British tabloids himself.

Apparently, his phone was hacked and private voicemails were stolen. Although Buckingham Palace has not released specific details of the incident, we know that the voicemails mentioned were several years old, from before Prince Harry and Markle ever even met. This is a huge violation of his privacy, and sadly, there is more to the story.

According to The Guardian, earlier this year, Markle and Prince Harry felt that their security was at risk due to helicopters flying over their rented home in order to obtain photographs. The prince said in a statement that pictures of the living and dining areas were obtained, as well as direct photographs of the bedroom. How awful for the duke and duchess to have to deal with that.

Why is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship with the media much worse than people realize?

Most royal fans don’t realize how frightening it can be behind the scenes. We all see the tabloid articles regarding Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry, but it is easy to forget that there is often more going on. The royal couple deals with their fair share of negativity, yet, they are constantly hassled on a regular basis, something that they are desperately trying to get away from. Their relationship with the media is much worse than people think, and we can only hope that it gets better as time goes on.

Meghan Markle Wants Royal Fans to Stop Believing This Big 'Misconception' About Her - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Meghan Markle has achieved the pinnacle of fame worldwide, following her marriage to Prince Harry in May 2018. The former actress has had a notoriously difficult time since the wedding and has suffered from negative press almost constantly.

Recently, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to fight back and announced a lawsuit against the British tabloid the Mail on Sunday. The news of the lawsuit has caused many royal experts to dig deep into Markle and Prince Harry’s past, trying to decide when it all went wrong for Markle.

Meghan Markle wasn’t a very popular actress

During her journey to the top, Markle didn’t exactly have an easy time of it. She worked as a suitcase girl on Deal Or No Deal before landing some small roles in films like Horrible Bosses and Get Him to the Greek. Markle worked steadily, getting some leading roles in made-for-television movies, but didn’t get her big break until 2011 when she was cast as Rachel Zane on the drama series Suits. 

Thanks to Markle’s role on Suits, television audiences started to recognize her name and face. For five years, Markle appeared on the show and the celebrity that she earned from her role enabled her to work on some other passion projects, like her lifestyle blog The Tig.

Still, Markle was never what one would consider an A-list actress, and was exclusively known to most of her fans as Rachel Zane on Suits. While many people think that Markle’s occupation as an actress would have prepared her for life in the royal family spotlight, as a 2017 interview with Markle and Prince Harry reveals, that was not the case at all.

Prince Harry ‘tried to warn’ Meghan Markle about the press

The day that Prince Harry and Markle got engaged, they gave a traditional interview to the press. The interview was an intimate look at the couple’s relationship, and to date, is probably the most revealing interview that they have ever given.

In the interview, Markle said that she “didn’t have any understanding” of what it was like to date a member of the royal family and was completely unprepared for the intense scrutiny that she was receiving. Prince Harry stated that he tried to warn Markle “as much as possible,” but they both admitted that they were surprised by the reaction that the media and public had to the news of their relationship.

Markle also detailed a major misconception that people have about her: most people think that because Markle is an actress, she would have been prepared for the onslaught of media attention. In fact, Markle stated, she filmed the majority of Suits in Toronto, well away from the paparazzi and enjoyed a fairly peaceful life.  

What’s next for Meghan Markle?

It seems clear that Markle has been more than a little overwhelmed by all the negative attention that she has received since joining the royal family. She has bounced from one tabloid scandal to another, with very little positivity in between from either the public or the press.

Now that Markle is reportedly working with a new publicity team, she could be ready to change up the narrative surrounding her personality and work with the press to reshape her image.

Hopefully, the next year will bring a positive change to Markle’s story.
