The Duchess of Sussex, known for her poise and confidence, allowed a glimpse of vulnerability when she was spotted wearing a "stress patch." This patch operates by emitting electromagnetic frequencies to the brain, effectively transitioning the nervous system away from its 'fight or flight mode.' Its conspicuous appearance served as a subtle cry for help, primarily directed towards Prince Harry while he was away on his charitable endeavors in Asia.
An insider shared with Closer, "The past few months, even years, have been exceptionally challenging for Meghan, and there's a genuine concern that this patch is her way of silently and effectively reaching out to those in her inner circle, especially Harry. It's an SOS that could signify her struggle with the immense stress and the weight of responsibilities she carries."
While Meghan and Harry's rift with the Royal Family appears unlikely to heal soon, the former "Suits" star has seemingly distanced herself from the feud. She chose not to attend King Charles's Coronation in May, instead immersing herself in her career.
In June, Meghan faced a significant setback when her and Harry's £16 million deal with the streaming giant Spotify was terminated after only 12 episodes of her debut podcast, "Archetypes." During that period, a Spotify executive referred to the couple as "grifters," and another top talent boss questioned Meghan's suitability as an audio talent.
Simultaneously, rumors circulated about strains in Meghan and Harry's relationship, with the couple spending time apart. Omid Scobie, one of the authors behind the biography "Finding Freedom," debunked these claims on social media.
The insider added, "Harry has been deeply concerned about Meghan and the stress she's endured, seemingly for an extended period. He has consistently urged her to persevere, fully aware of the difficulties as he grapples with them himself. Meghan resorting to wellness patches to cope intensifies Harry's worry."
The "stress patch" incident sheds light on the immense pressures faced by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, both individually and as a couple, as they navigate their unique roles and responsibilities.
