Meghan Markle is expected to deliver her first child in April after the Duchess broke with Royal tradition and publicly confirmed she was six months pregnant during an official visit in January. The former actress flew to New York last week to celebrate the upcoming arrival with her long-time pals in a lavish Upper East Side hotel before hitching a ride with Human Rights lawyer Amal Clooney back to the UK. After her unannounced US trip, Meghan has been warned to prepare to face "issues" as she settles into motherhood in her newly refurbished home in Windsor with Prince Harry.
Royal expert Rupert Bell told talkRADIO: "I think where the problem could be for her is cooped up in the royal palace.
"She is going to be cooped up in a lavished, upholstered cottage in Windsor Park but it’s still going to feel lonely.
"Once the fairy dust settles, once you are no longer the star turn, that’s when the issue for her could surface."
Meghan and Harry announced they would relocate to Frogmore Cottage, on the Windsor Estate, from their apartments in Kensington Palace ahead of the arrival of the royal tot – leaving neighbours William and Kate in the London palace with their three children and neighbours Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank.
