00:00 Being a member of the royal family isn't easy.
00:02 As soon as Meghan Markle got engaged to Prince Harry, the public scrutiny of her outfits
00:06 increased.
00:18 Getting embarrassed regularly is considered normal for normal people, but not so much
00:23 when you are trying to impress royals.
00:25 Back in 2018, as the royal tour was concluding, with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry finishing
00:31 their 16 day journey across New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and Tonga.
00:36 On her final day, Meghan Markle wore a custom Givenchy skirt that appeared slightly see
00:42 through in some of the photos.
00:48 However this wasn't a straight up wardrobe malfunction, but it was because of the fabric.
00:52 Depending on the lighting, it looks like it's see through as well as the pattern on her
00:56 skirt.
00:57 How it's stitched and the lighting, it gave an illusion like you were literally seeing
01:02 her underwear.
01:03 There was another incident during her 37th birthday where Meghan Markle attended the
01:09 wedding of Prince Harry's friend, Charlie Van Strabenzee, and he was getting married
01:13 to Daisy Jenks.
01:15 And Meghan's outfit, which was a colour block pleated shirt dress from Club Monaco,
01:21 revealed a black lace camisole underneath due to an undone top button while she waves
01:28 to the crowd.
01:36 That incident made headlines all over the world and people were even accusing her of
01:41 doing the wardrobe malfunction on purpose just so that she can have all of the attention
01:45 on herself.
01:46 Going back to October 25th, 2018, Meghan Markle arrived in Tonga and she was wearing a gorgeous
01:53 red self-portrait dress worth about $600 and it was paired with navy pumps.
01:59 While stepping off the plane hand in hand with Prince Harry, her husband, royal fans
02:04 noticed a wardrobe malfunction.
02:08 The tag of Meghan's dress was still attached and it was swinging in the wind at the back.
02:15 But despite this, the couple was warmly welcomed by the airport staff, carrying a sign that
02:20 read "Welcome Harry and Meghan" and the crowd sang traditional songs and danced while
02:25 waving Union Jacks.
02:34 The next Meghan Markle wardrobe malfunction happened during the Festival of Remembrance
02:38 on November 10th, 2018.
02:41 Meghan Markle, along with other royals, experienced a wardrobe malfunction and that stole the
02:47 show.
02:48 At that time, she was a mom-to-be and she spilled something on her pantyhose, resulting
02:54 in visible splotches and it raised concerns.
03:02 It was from her foot all the way to her shin.
03:05 Despite her black pumps and the baby bump hidden beneath her matching coat dress, that
03:11 random wet mark on her leg on the right was completely noticeable, making it seem like
03:18 she had been out in the rain or had something spill on her.
03:23 This next incident has to do with Meghan Markle and she was wearing a navy jacket with white
03:29 edging.
03:30 However, people looked closely and they observed an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction from behind.
03:37 A temporary stitch was left holding together the flap at the back of the coat.
03:43 These tacking stitches are typically meant to be removed before the garment is worn.
03:49 They're used by seamstresses to hold elements of the clothing in place while they work on
03:54 the rest of them.
03:56 Her stylist definitely overlooked that one.
04:07 Meghan Markle's popularity keeps on dropping and this is according to new polls.
04:18 So what's going on here because we last heard that Meghan is working to rebuild her
04:23 image and increase her popularity, but nothing seems to be working for her at all.
04:29 The transition from British Royals to American media icons has been far from smooth and it's
04:35 been a challenging year for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, especially regarding their
04:41 careers.
04:42 According to multiple reports, Harry and Meghan are said to be clashing with Netflix bosses
04:46 over their upcoming docuseries.
04:48 While they faced criticism when announcing their step down as working Royals in 2020,
04:59 this period held hope and excitement.
05:06 However more than three years later, they have had very few regrets about their decision,
05:12 but their transition hasn't been as seamless as they expected.
05:16 As well as their popularity dropping.
05:24 In early 2023, a Newsweek poll revealed that Harry and Meghan's popularity had plummeted
05:31 and the reasons for this decline varied from mixed responses to Harry's memoir to just
05:38 general tiredness of hearing about the couple and their frequent headlines.
05:49 This shift in public sentiment had immediate financial repercussions, leading to the cancellation
05:56 of Meghan's Spotify podcast after just one season.
06:00 While there's more bad news for Harry and Meghan today, their £18 million deal with
06:06 Spotify has been binned.
06:08 And Meghan and Harry, with the assistance of Meghan's new agents WME Management, launched
06:15 a big effort to rebrand themselves and reshape their public image.
06:19 They've participated in the Invictus Games, spoken out about mental health, given to charities
06:26 and done a lot of charitable work.
06:29 Despite these events and instances, they engaged the media, interacted with the public, and
06:35 allowed people to photograph them.
06:38 However, it appears that these instances, especially for Meghan, did not yield the desired
06:45 result.
06:46 Newsweek, then, recently conducted another poll and it suggests that Meghan, who still
06:54 has the title of Duchess of Sussex, has reached a new low in public approval.
06:59 In the third quarter of 2023, 32% of respondents expressed a positive opinion of Meghan, while
07:07 22% had a negative view, resulting in a net approval rating of just +10.
07:14 This marks a significant decline from her previous rating in earlier 2023 of +17, indicating
07:21 a drop of 7 points despite her efforts and those of her new advisors to improve her public
07:28 image.
07:29 Harry's approval rating, on the other hand, stayed pretty steady at a net +24 rating,
07:35 indicating that he has managed to weather the recent controversies pretty well for himself.
07:47 Despite this, this popularity is notably lower than in previous years.
07:52 Surprisingly, Harry is slightly more popular than Prince William among Americans, although
07:58 the dynamics might differ in the UK.
08:03 In contrast, Kate Middleton remains the most popular member of the four, with an approval
08:09 rating of +34.
08:12 One thing to mention is that those close to Meghan have noticed signs of strain and fatigue
08:17 in the recent months, and this is potentially due to her recent career challenges.
08:23 One insider who spoke with InTouch Publication commented saying this, "Something's seriously
08:29 wrong.
08:30 She's obviously not taking care of herself and is looking scary skinny.
08:34 Meghan is cracking under all the pressure and it shows."
08:38 So guys, everything they've been through has likely taken an emotional toll on them,
08:43 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and regardless of what they're trying to do, on Harry's part,
08:50 again, it's not so much that he's declining in popularity, it's just kind of stayed the
08:55 same.
08:56 It's not going up, it's not going down.
08:58 Meghan, however, her popularity continues to decrease, and people are saying that this
09:04 could really be affecting her health.
09:07 And I guess only time will tell if what she's doing actually begins to boost her public
09:13 image, or is it going to keep on declining.
09:32 As Meghan Markle deals with the pressure to improve her finances and her marriage, the
09:37 stress is actually starting to show up in her physical looks, and this is according
09:41 to a new report.
09:45 Meghan Markle, who is a former actress, she's reportedly losing weight very rapidly, and
09:51 people close to her are becoming really concerned about this.
09:54 They're starting to notice this.
09:59 Rumours about Meghan's health started when she was seen in Montecito, California on August
10:04 11th, 2023, which was a day that was very warm.
10:08 However, Meghan was wearing a wool coat and a scarf, which seemed out of place, and she
10:13 also had on a NuComb biosignal process disc, which is a device that claims to help reduce
10:19 stress and improve sleep quality and enhance your focus.
10:30 With Meghan wearing this coat and a scarf in hot weather like this, as well as wearing
10:38 an anti-stress disc, something's really going on here, guys.
10:49 Now there was one source that said that Meghan's recent appearance can actually be attributed
10:54 to the enormous stress that she's facing and how it's affecting her body.
11:00 And this is what they had to say.
11:01 Meghan's anxiety kicks in when she's not in control.
11:04 It seems that the pressure of making her mark in Hollywood is finally getting to Meghan.
11:10 Trying to re-establish herself, constant money problems, Harry traveling and leaving her
11:14 alone a lot, it all adds up.
11:18 She's stressed and friends are afraid she could be spiraling.
11:24 But that's not all, guys.
11:25 The source also went on to say this, "When Meghan is stressed, she barely eats.
11:31 Friends say she's dropped at least 15 pounds.
11:33 She doesn't have an appetite when she's juggling a lot."
11:41 So reports suggest that Meghan is actually dealing with a lot right now, and that has
11:46 to do with a lot of the uncertainty, both in her work life and her personal life.
11:51 And this seems to be impacting their finances as well as affecting their marriage, her and
11:57 Harry on a whole.
11:58 After producing just one 13-episode podcast series for the firm before separating, Prince
12:03 Harry and Meghan Markle have been dubbed.
12:05 The same source also commented on this.
12:09 They said, "Being millions in debt is extremely stressful.
12:13 Sometimes she's not able to sleep at night because of it.
12:15 Keeping up the lavish lifestyle they led isn't easy.
12:19 Of course, things cost money, and if you want to live big, you gotta be earning big as well."
12:24 Also in addition to that, there's a report according to Radar Online that had this to
12:29 say, "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been worn down after public backlash, failed
12:35 business deals, and public spats with their loved ones, Palace Insiders revealed.
12:40 They're trying to figure out what hit them.
12:43 Harry doesn't fit in Meghan's tacky, tinsel-town world."
12:47 So this is an interesting perspective guys because Meghan Markle, she's used to the actress
12:52 lifestyle, the Hollywood sort of being around celebrities.
12:55 Harry, yes to some degree because Harry has always been well known, he's always been famous,
13:01 but he's never been in Hollywood and in that circle.
13:04 So it's definitely difficult for him to be navigating that world as well.
13:08 On top of that, trouble in the marriage and at the same time, the public doesn't like
13:14 you.
13:15 And on top of that, not just the public that doesn't like you, but your own family don't
13:19 like you as well.
13:20 Yeah, so all of these mounting pressures and all these problems that the Duke and Duchess
13:25 of Sussex, Harry and Meghan have found themselves dealing with right now is really impacting
13:31 Meghan Markle's health.
13:33 And she before was a relatively thin woman.
13:37 So if she's losing 15 pounds and just how much more is she going to lose?
13:42 could this be something that would could be very detrimental to her health?
