Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s security crisis began long before their royal exit

Under the watchful eyes of Britain’s voracious press pack, the Duchess of Sussex found herself grappling with a confronting reality: “I’m everywhere, but I am nowhere.”

In an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey this week, Meghan Markle said she hadn’t left the confines of Buckingham Palace in months. And yet there she was, plastered across the front page of news tabloids, at the mercy of the daily media cycle.

“There was a day that one of the members of the family came over and said, ‘Why don’t you lay low for a little while because you’re everywhere right now’,” she recalled.

“And I said, ‘I’ve left the house twice in four months’.”

Giving a rare glimpse into life inside The Firm, Markle spoke of her constant loneliness.
