**Meghan Markle’s Ambitious Journey to British Royalty**

An ex-pal of Sussex's claims that before Meghan Markle met Prince Harry and mingled with A-list celebrities like George and Amal Clooney, Serena Williams, and Oprah Winfrey, she was a struggling American TV actress seeking recognition on red carpets and for her next big career break.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry reportedly felt devastated after transitioning from his previous life to a marriage that brought him significant challenges.

Prince Harry's friend, Royal Marines veteran J.J. Chalmers, revealed on a BBC podcast about his time as an active soldier in Afghanistan that everything seemed to go downhill when he tried to align his life with Meghan's desires.

Rumors circulate that Harry has taken breaks from the royal residence, sometimes seeking solitude at the beach or visiting Elton John's empty home to clear his mind.

The aftermath of the Oprah interview, where Meghan made personal accusations against Kate, has left tensions high within the royal family.

William's protective nature towards Kate is evident, especially after Meghan's public accusations.

Observers note the visible toll the situation has taken on Harry, with his appearance reflecting the emotional strain he is under.

According to sources in the British media, Meghan's meeting with Prince Harry was not a mere coincidence.

The future Duchess of Sussex, feeling disillusioned with her Hollywood career, had started contemplating a move to the UK as early as 2013.

Her desire for a British boyfriend and a role on an English reality TV show led her to strategically navigate social circles where she eventually crossed paths with Harry.

British TV presenter Lizzie Cundy shared details of her encounter with Meghan at a charity gala in 2013, shortly after Meghan's divorce from producer Trevor Engelson.

Meghan expressed her admiration for English men and her eagerness to explore opportunities in London, away from the competitive Hollywood industry.

She set her sights on joining the cast of “Made in Chelsea,” aiming to integrate into the affluent London social scene.

Through persistent networking efforts, Meghan found herself connected to individuals who were part of Harry's circle.

Their first meeting in 2016 during one of Meghan's trips to London marked the beginning of their modern-day royal love story.

Despite initial excitement from friends like Cundy, Meghan's sudden silence post-confirmation of her relationship with Harry hinted at a shift in her priorities dictated by palace guidelines.

Recent portrayals of Meghan as a social climber who discards relationships when they no longer serve her interests have resurfaced, contrasting with the positive image presented in a recent CBS special hosted by Gayle King.

The special, aired shortly after the birth of Meghan and Harry's son, Archie Harrison, aimed to showcase Meghan's adjustment to royal life and dispel rumors of her being difficult.

Former friend Gina Nelthorpe-Crown shared her experience of being ghosted by Meghan after witnessing her charismatic personality and grand aspirations during their time together.

Meghan's decision to give up her career and terminate their contract following her relationship with Harry further exemplifies her tendency to swiftly move on from past connections.

Meghan's journey from a struggling actress to a prominent figure in the royal family continues to intrigue and captivate audiences worldwide.
