Prince Harry has reportedly been comforting Meghan Markle as she deals with feelings of frustration and being left behind by her growing popularity. According Nearest magazineMeghan is finding it difficult to process the attention Harry is receiving, especially as she continues to face criticism and trolling.
The latest boost to Harry’s popularity came after he participated in a comedy skit with country singer Jelly Roll to promote the Invictus Games. While Meghan fully supports her husband’s work, she is frustrated by the double standards she believes exist when it comes to public perception.
An informant explained“This whole thing with Jelly Roll and all the positive press it generated was a big blow to Harry. But it’s safe to say that Meghan wouldn’t have received rave reviews if she’d gotten a fake neck tattoo, so the double standard is evident.”
The source continued“That’s not to say she’s not happy for Harry: the Invictus Games are very valuable to him, so she would never begrudge anything that increases attention to the games. But that doesn’t make it easy to have a partner who can get praise for doing things she can’t do.”
Despite the frustrations, Meghan is happy about Harry’s success and the attention it brings to the Invictus Games. However, dealing with the public’s different reactions to her own actions compared to his is still painful.
Prince Harry, aware of his wife’s discomfort, has been trying to comfort Meghan by telling her “not to worry” and encouraging her to “ignore the haters.” However, as the source noted, “but that’s easier said than done. “This really hurts.”
As the couple faces these challenges together, it’s clear that Harry is doing everything he can to support Meghan during a time when the spotlight seems to shine more on him than on her.
