Meghan Struggles with Solo Spotlight: Rethinks Work Strategy After Tough Red-Carpet Moments

Meghan Markle is reportedly finding it challenging to adjust to solo public appearances without her husband, Prince Harry, by her side. Though the Duke and Duchess of Sussex mutually agreed to focus on individual projects, a source has revealed that Meghan feels “lost and bewildered” at events without Harry’s support.

According to Heat Magazine, Meghan is rethinking their new work approach after facing difficulties on her own at red-carpet events and public engagements. “Meghan is doing her best to deal with this change, but it’s not been easy,” the insider shared. “They’ve agreed to go their separate ways for a while when it comes to appearances and work, not least because they’ve got so much on their plates.”

The source explained that the couple’s decision was based on practical considerations, aiming to “divide and conquer” their responsibilities. “They can’t be in two places at once, so it’s much better to divide and conquer, at least in theory,” they added. “But putting these changes into action has left Meghan quite bewildered.”

Meghan, who has grown accustomed to having Harry by her side at major events, reportedly finds his absence unsettling. Known for being a calming influence, Harry’s presence has always helped her manage the spotlight. “She’s gotten so used to having Harry by her side for every big public event and red carpet,” the source said. “Not having him with her is difficult, especially since he seems to be adjusting without any issues.”

The source described Harry as “thriving on his own,” while Meghan is left questioning whether this new approach is truly beneficial. “He’s obviously thriving on his own, while she’s feeling lost and is finding it hard to cope. By all accounts, it has her questioning if them being more independent was a good idea.”

Their decision to pursue separate engagements has sparked speculation about their relationship, with rumors swirling after Harry attended events solo in the UK, New York, and South Africa. Meanwhile, Meghan appeared at the LA Children’s Hospital Gala alone, further fueling public curiosity about the couple’s new dynamic.

This period of individual focus has led to considerable adjustment for Meghan, who continues to navigate her role in the public eye without Harry’s steadying presence. While their plan to manage multiple commitments independently makes sense in theory, the practical reality has left Meghan wondering if this was the best path forward.
