Why Meghan Markle is the ‘happiest’ she has ever been

Despite the widespread public criticism that has followed Meghan Markle since stepping away from the Royal Family, the Duchess of Sussex recently confessed that she is the “happiest” she has ever been.

Meghan made the comments during an appearance at the TIME100 Summit in New York while chatting with Jessica Sibley, the Chief Executive Officer of Time, the Confessions of a Female Founder podcast.

“A confession for you today that I can very comfortably say is that I’m the happiest I’ve ever been,” Meghan revealed, as per People.

“To have a partner and a husband who is so supportive and have healthy kids who are so joyful…I never would have imagined at this point I would feel so happy and grateful, and I really do.”

Meghan’s comments come as she launches a slew of new projects, something her husband Prince Harry could not be prouder of.

After Meghan launched projects including a Netflix series and a lifestyle brand, Harry recently told People magazine he fully supports his wife.

“I am so happy for my wife and fully support absolutely everything she’s done and continues to do,” Harry said.

“I’m incredibly proud,” he added.

Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever debuted in March and sold out its first product line in under an hour. That same month, her new Netflix series With Love, Meghan premiered, featuring a brief appearance by Harry in the final episode.

Adding to her growing portfolio, Meghan also launched a new podcast on Lemonada Media, Confessions of a Female Founder, which premiered on April 8.

While Meghan and Harry appear to be content with the lives they have carved out for themselves, it has not been an easy road.

Since stepping away from their royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have remained estranged from their family across the pond.

Adding to the tensions were revelations made in a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, where Harry and Meghan candidly discussed their struggles within the royal institution. This was followed by the release of Harry’s candid memoir and a series of interviews in which he continued to criticise The Firm.

The decision marked a major shift in the traditional dynamics of the Monarchy.
