Meghan Markle is her own worst enemy, an insider has claimed, after letting fear and guardedness block her path to Hollywood success. The Duchess of Sussex has failed to forge genuine connections with audiences through her carefully controlled on-screen image, according to the source. Speaking to Closer, the insider said: “Meghan is too guarded and too self-controlled to succeed in the podcasting world, and she’s afraid to go on other people’s shows where she’ll get asked tough questions in a long-form setting.”

Although she has given multiple interviews and podcast appearances since quitting royal duties, fans have been left missing any authentic version of herself, the source suggested. They added: “Unfortunately, that’s really the only effective avenue to grow a show, and Meghan isn’t willing to go to those lengths.” After her troubled return to America and efforts to build a media empire, the same insider concluded she remains “her own worst enemy”, too wary of daily backlash and the ammunition any vulnerability would hand her critics.
