After parting ways with the royal family in 2020 to pursue a life of her choosing alongside Prince Harry and their children in the United States, the Duchess of Sussex was seen donning a $4 NuCalm anti-stress patch. This device claims to aid relaxation and recovery by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
Meghan's choice to utilize the wellness patch has prompted inquiries, with some questioning whether she is contending with similar emotional turmoil as she endured during her royal tenure. Concerns have emerged, with a few individuals fearing that Meghan may still be grappling with suicidal thoughts despite her divorce from the royal family. Others speculate that the device serves to help the Duchess manage anxiety, especially in the face of recent criticism and backlash.
During this appearance, Prince Harry's wife appeared makeup-free and donned a $1,625 Max Mara Rispoli coat along with a $1,225 cashmere Hermès Rayures D’Ete shawl featuring blue and tan stripes. Her ensemble was accessorized with a dark blue NuCalm disc, which provided a striking contrast against her camel-colored coat.
In her groundbreaking interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, the Duchess of Sussex bravely disclosed her struggles with suicidal thoughts while pregnant with her son Archie. She candidly shared, "I was really ashamed to say it and to admit it to Harry, because I know how much loss he has suffered. But I knew if I didn't say it, that I would do it and I just didn't want to be alive anymore, and that was a very clear and real and frightening constant thought."
During the Ripple of Hope Awards in New York the previous year, Meghan Markle was queried about her decision to discuss that challenging period of her life. In response, she emphasized the importance of honest communication, stating, "We all need to, when we can, if we feel brave enough, to just speak honestly about your own experience." She added that doing so provides solace and courage to others, ensuring that they don't feel alone in their struggles.
