And now, it appears the Duchess isn’t the only royal “outsider” to experience such feelings, after Harry’s former flame Chelsy Davy admitted she too struggled with the same problem.
According to Express, the 34-year-old called off her royal romance with Harry after it became difficult for them to date with the constant media scrutiny.
Chelsy, who is Harry’s most well-known former girlfriend, started dating him back in 2003, and many believed they would stay together forever – until they called it quits in 2010.
But as the 34-year-old previously told the Daily Mail, she was forced to call off their relationship because it got to the point where she felt as though she “couldn’t cope”.
“It was so full-on: crazy and scary and uncomfortable… I found it very difficult when it was bad. I couldn’t cope,” Chelsy said.
She added: “I was trying to be a normal kid and it was horrible.”
Following the split, Chelsy, who originated from Zimbabwe, said felt like she needed to get away, so she went back to her homeland of Africa.
Despite admitting it was a difficult time, the 34-year-old went on to say that everything is “fine” between herself and Harry.
She even made an appearance at Kate Middleton and Prince William’s 2012 royal wedding, and reportedly helped Harry prepare his best man’s speech.
Chelsy’s candid confession comes after it was revealed Harry and Meghan will join Camilla Parker-Bowles at Westminster Abbey’s Field of Remembrance memorial.
While Harry has previously attended the event, it will be a first for Meghan and his mother-in-law, the Duchess of Cornwall, who is also Patron of the Poppy Factory.
