Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are enjoying a happy life together in Frogmore Cottage with their son Archie.
Since the pair met, the Duke of Sussex has reportedly made a number of changes to his grooming methods, and one, in particular, is incredibly painful.
According to a report from The Sun, Meghan was the reason why Prince Harry began waxing his chest.

Before beginning his romance with the future Duchess of Sussex, the 34-year-old was often spotted with large amounts of hair on his upper body.
A source told The Sun:
“Harry’s been seen as a ‘man’s man’ all his adult life, so this has come as a shock to his close friends.
“They all think his new grooming methods are down to his desire to look his shiny best for Meghan.
“His chest is now like something you’d see from guys in Baywatch – but without the tan.”
Aside from encouraging him to begin waxing his chest, the former-actress also reportedly pushed Harry to cut out some of his close friends.
The Daily Express reported that this included Kate Middleton’s friend Astrid Harbord (who was once romantically linked to the Duke) and Tom Inskip – the friend that accompanied Harry when he was pictured naked in a Las Vegas hotel suite in 2012.
A source told the publication:
“Like several others who were considered a questionable influence on Harry during his bad old bachelor days, Tom has been dropped.
“Even though he himself now has a lovely wife, Lara.”
Another source said the snubbing of Harbord was “all part of Meghan’s quiet airbrushing out of Harry’s old posse.”
“She doesn’t want temptation – of any sort – being put in his way while they concentrate on starting a family.”

According to Vanity Fair, the Duke’s close friends were “a bit surprised” to not be invited to the royal wedding.
While George Clooney was at the celebration, some of the Duke’s oldest friends weren’t on the guestlist.
