Prince Harry and Meghan who are rumored to be moving to Canada, however, they are yet to confirm the exact country they will be moving to.
This comes after Harry stood up for Meghan and shunned British media for treating her they way he saw his mother, Princess Diana be treated.
If you remember, they said in a news special that they feel strained under the pressure the tabloids keep putting them under, and it was even more challenging for Meghan.
“Any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable, and so that was made really challenging,” Meghan said to ITV’s Tom Brady regarding being in the spotlight after becoming a new mother to their son Archie.
“When you have a newborn, you know. And especially as a woman, it’s a lot. So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed –thank you for asking because not many people have asked if I’m okay.”
Meghan then continued to say that it would be fair to say she wasn’t okay.
