Some of the extra privacy Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry have been building into their lives may be the product of Meghan’s discomfort with the kind of status joining the royal family has ushered into her life. “Meghan has struggled with the intensity of the spotlight,” a royal source tells People. “Although she is a former actress, this is on a different level.” The scrutiny has also grown stronger since Meghan and Harry welcomed their son Archie on May 6. People reports the royals’ decision to have a private christening for Archie, to limit the release of photos of the baby and not to go public with the names of his godparents may all be tied to the new pressures Meghan is enduring. In the meantime, she has Duchess Kate, who has spoken publicly about how “lonely” motherhood can be, to lean on. The two appeared closer than usual when they attended Wimbledon together last weekend. Kate was even spotted consoling Meghan after her close friend, Serena Williams lost in the finals.
