“Since she shut down her public Instagram, she’d had a fake account to follow her friends. There was some really vile stuff written by social media trolls and <\/em>obviously<\/em> she also saw the headlines about her.<\/em>\n\n“It really got to her and, in the end, she had to shut down that account just before Christmas, too, to protect her mental health. She felt very isolated and alone.”<\/em>\n\n“She doesn’t feel safe enough to go out on her own without protection.”<\/em><\/blockquote>\nThe majority of the royal family don’t have social media accounts, however, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are the exception to that rule. \n\nAnother source told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> Meghan is finding it “frustrating and stressful<\/em>” having “no voice<\/em>” and is finding the constraints of royal life “debilitating<\/em>“. \n\nSince becoming engaged to Prince Harry, Meghan has been unable to voice her opinion on certain topics and feels “miserable<\/em>” in her new role.\n\nBeing royal certainly doesn’t seem as fun as we once thought!\n\nImage: Max Mumby\/Indigo\/Getty Images<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
