As you may already know, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently stepped down for their royal duties and moved to Los Angeles.
After being mercilessly bullied and torn apart by the British press for two years, it came as no surprise that Meghan longed for some normalcy.
In hindsight, she reportedly felt convinced that there was a "conspiracy against her".
She went from being a commoner to a famous TV actress, to literal royalty. On paper, that's the dream!
But things went awry rather quickly.
At the start of the year, the couple announced in a statement that they would be stepping down from their royal duties.
"I want you to hear the truth from me. As much as I can share, not as a Prince or a Duke but as Harry," he said.
"The same person that many of you have watched grow up over the last 35 years but now with a clearer perspective."
"For those reasons, it brings me great sadness that it has come to this."
"And I know I haven’t always gotten it right but as far as this goes, there really was no other option."
"Our hope was to continue serving the queen, the commonwealth and my military associations but without public funding," he said.
He, Meghan, and their son Archie, initially moved to Canada after stepping down.
But not long after, they moved to Los Angeles instead — likely to aid the reconstruction of Meghan's acting career.
According to royal reporter, Katie Nicholl, in The Times, Meghan expressed feeling alienated from the royal family from the moment she married Harry.
They explained that she always felt divided from the rest of the royal family.
One thing, in particular, that was a point of stress for her was her lack of financial independence.
Before uprooting her entire life, sacrificing her career, and moving to England to be with Harry, Meghan had a relatively successful career as an actress.
So, it's totally warranted that she felt uneasy about not being able to pursue her own dreams and make her own money.
Upon leaving the royal family, Meghan was able to quickly pick up where she left off, landing a narrating role for Disney's nature documentary Elephants.
I can only imagine that moving to another continent and being estranged from his family after an entire lifetime of being a royal would not be an easy thing to adjust to.
They added that he is likely now feeling exactly how Meghan felt when she abandonned her American life to move to England.
