It looks like doing things separately but still being together is not working out for her after all. There’s a new report that suggests Meghan Markle is having a very hard time being who she is without Prince Harry by her side.

In fact, some people are even calling her ‘fragile’ and suggesting that Meghan “wouldn’t shine on her own without a prince.”

The comments were made about Dr. Pemberton, who suggests the Duchess of Sussex is having a hard time with her newfound independence, even though this is what she wanted on her end.

That’s because Meghan Markle wants to rebrand herself and simply be known as ‘Meghan’ from now on, for better or for worse.

Not only that, but Dr. Pemberton says that Meghan is partly dependent on her husband Prince Harry for her fame.

While a lot of people might think that it’s the Duchess of Sussex who is pulling all the string behind closed doors, apparently she needs Prince Harry more than he needs her right now.

The expert said, “Meghan is a smart and educated woman and she must know that her cachet comes courtesy of marrying a prince.”

“There’s no sugar-coating it, although a successful actress, Meghan’s star would never have shone as bright, if she hadn’t married one of the most famous men on the plane.”

“Knowing that your status is even partly dependent on someone else is a tough place to be in psychologically as it magnifies your own fragility.”

Dr. Pemberton added, “For most people – royalty or otherwise – it’s important to get emotional succor from several different sources, such as colleagues, family, old friends.”

“Variety is essential as it’s psychologically stifling to each look to one person for everything. I can’t help but wonder if Harry and Meghan are starting to realize that?”

So far Meghan Markle herself has not made any comments about the matter just yet. Watch this space. Let us know what you think by leaving us a line with your thoughts below.
