Just yesterday, I stumbled upon an article in the online version of 'In Touch Weekly' with the headline 'Meghan Markle not taking care of herself and drastic weight loss — something's seriously wrong.' This brought to mind what we've been saying for a while.
It's somewhat baffling that the publication is just now acknowledging the issue. However, it turns out they are mainly addressing Meghan's physical appearance and her weight loss. It's unlikely they will address the deeper questions on our minds, but let's see what they have to say.
Whenever I come across such articles, I try to discern the underlying angle. Is this another piece meant to support Meghan's image, or is it from her critics and likely to be more critical? Let's find out together.
The article starts by recapping Meghan and Harry's recent trip to New York, where they participated in a panel discussion on the harmful effects of social media in honor of World Mental Health Day. The source for the magazine insists that something is seriously wrong, with Meghan clearly not taking proper care of herself and appearing frighteningly skinny. Observers have noted the sunken look in her eyes. Some might even wonder if her appearance is part of a Halloween costume.
According to a nutrition expert, Dr. Fred Pescatore, Meghan Markle is 5 ft 6 in and currently weighs around 100 pounds. If accurate, this weight would put her BMI at approximately 16, which is extremely underweight. Some may question her height, as they thought she was shorter, but let's assume the doctor's information is correct.
The article reminds us that Meghan has struggled with body image issues in the past, particularly in her twenties. She has described it as a constant battle with herself. This time, however, it appears to be different, according to the source. Loved ones are reportedly concerned that her extreme weight loss may be a sign of a relapse into the serious depression she experienced after her marriage.
It's now evident that the article's primary focus is to highlight Meghan's vulnerability and sensitivity, and how she's been under a lot of stress due to the recent criticism she's faced. The stress she's experiencing is somewhat akin to her previous ordeal within the royal family.
The article delves into their business failures, implying that Meghan and Harry were in over their heads, struggling to deliver on their promises regarding TV series, docu-series, and podcast projects. They have more failures than successes, and their finances are precarious.
According to the source, Meghan feels like she's constantly hustling to maintain her and Harry's lifestyle. This explains her endorsement of various products, such as the stress patch, and their visit to Soho House on a Caribbean island. Their financial situation appears far from stable.
The source also suggests that Harry is worried about Meghan, noticing a decline in her well-being. He is concerned that she's not herself and is experiencing mental health issues similar to Diana's struggles with bulimia. Harry is portrayed as hyper-aware of mental health red flags.
The article concludes with the notion that Harry is considering a move to New York, believing it might be a better environment for Meghan. It's closer to London, and he wants her to be happy and healthy. However, given the recent security issues they've faced in New York, this idea may not be entirely straightforward.
In essence, Meghan and Harry seem to be deflecting responsibility for their current situation, even though they are at the center of the turmoil. Until they address their own actions and attitudes, a move to New York or any other place may not bring the peace they seek.
