“I just collapsed in his arms”: Meghan Markle Had A Complete Breakdown After Leaving England, Had To Find Comfort In Her Bodyguard’s Arms

While she may have been a very famous celebrity during her time on the legal drama series Suits, Meghan Markle today is known as royalty, or more specifically, being married to Prince Harry, who has since left the royal family to live a life with her in the Hollywood Hills. But that hasn’t stopped them from being looked upon as a genuine power couple.

But that title of a power couple wasn’t easy for them in the slightest, since not being part of royalty or any close association with them presented its own set of challenges for the actress. In fact, she was so distraught after living with members of the British Royal Family that she couldn’t hold herself still, which led to her falling in front of her security staff, who comforted her in her time of need.

Most popular for playing the role of Rachel Zane in one of the most popular legal dramas in the world Suits, actress Meghan Markle also became a hot topic of discussion when she made her relationship with Prince Harry official. Not being a member of a royal family came with its own set of problems to overcome after that, but she decided to face these challenges head-on. But there are limits for everyone, and hers came when she went to England as part of the royal family in 2018, and things turned out for the worse, which led to their infamous royal exit.

In a past interview, the Horrible Bosses star talked about all her ups and downs living as the former Duchess of Sussex with the royal family, where she also talked about her trip with her husband to Canada shortly before their exit as the Duke and Duchess. She remembered that she was greeted by a member of the crew of the plane they were traveling on, who thanked her for all the sacrifices she made for the royal family. She was so emotional at the time that when they landed in the US, she couldn’t stand straight, and ended up falling in her bodyguard’s arms. She said:

“We landed and one of our security guards — who had been with H for so long and these guys were so wonderful — I just collapsed in his arms. [I was] crying. I was like, ‘I tried so hard.’ He goes, ‘I know you did. I know you did, ma’am, I know you did.’ Like, I tried so hard. And that’s the piece that’s so triggering because you go, ‘And it still wasn’t good enough. And you still don’t fit in.’”

Thus she, along with her husband, ended their relationship with the British Royalty and came to the US to start a new life.

What Was The Reason For Meghan Markle’s Exit From The Royal Family?

While it may have been impossible for the common folk to know about the reasons for the former royal couple’s drastic decision to leave the royal family, their Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan gives us much-needed insight into what went behind closed doors during their life as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

One of the main reasons, as explained by Markle herself, she felt suffocating living with the royal family, which didn’t help considering the fact that she had to completely change her lifestyle to accommodate the needs and expectations of her family members.
