Has another celebrity fallen victim to the Ozempic craze? Meghan Markle has lost least 15 pounds, and a source told In Touch Weekly that the former royal is “not taking care of herself and is looking scary skinny.” While some concerned fans are taking to Reddit to say they’re “worried” about Meghan’s high stress levels being the cause of this sudden weight loss, others are claiming she’s using the diabetic drug Ozempic, saying “she needs to stay off the drugs.”
Meghan Markle and husband Prince Harry are known for championing the importance of mental health through their charity, the Archewell Foundation. But it seems as though the Suits actress has been focusing too much on others’ mental health, and not on her own. A source told In Touch Weekly that Meghan might be “cracking under the pressure.” Keep reading to learn more about Meghan’s weight loss.
What's causing Meghan Markle's 15-lb weight loss?
A source close to the former Duchess of Sussex told Life & Style this past August that Meghan "barely eats" when she's stressed, because "she doesn’t have an appetite when she's juggling a lot." Meghan is reportedly "struggling to balance her time" with her family, including her son Archie, 4, and Lili, 2, and her work with the Archewell Foundation.
In Touch Weekly's source says that much of Meghan's stress may be over money, as the couples’ bills are "piling up," according to a source. "Meghan feels like she's constantly having to hustle to afford her and Harry's lifestyle," the source continued. This comes after Spotify pulled the plug on the $20M deal it had with the ex-royals' audio company, Archewell Audio.
Prince Harry thinks it could be the pressure that comes with living in Hollywood. A source said that because Harry's experiences “have made him hyper-aware of mental health red flags,” he is ready to make drastic changes to help his wife, namely, moving from Los Angeles to New York. LA "isn't the best environment for her right now," sources say, and Harry thinks NY will keep her "happy and healthy."
But, Meghan is reportedly "so happy to finally be back in California—she can't imagine leaving." Perhaps it's because of the easy access to Ozempic…
Fans say Ozempic is to blame for Meghan Markle’s sudden weight loss
In the comment section of In Touch Weekly's article, many readers have claimed that Meghan is "just fine" and that her weight loss is the result of Ozempic. "She has an entire team to take care of her, I’m sure she’s fine," the user commented.
"She has been taking Ozempic," another person said plainly. "Why would she be losing weight due to stress?" one user asked. "She's got a dozen things that are about to come to fruition. She's been on two vacations in the last two months," they continued. "This is called a weight loss drug."
A reddit user thinks the actress is doing it for publicity, posting, "She's skinny because she's on Ozempic. If she's skinny, it guarantees column inches. End of story."
Meghan has yet to comment on any of the Ozempic allegations, and now that possible divorce rumors are spreading, things don’t seem to be looking up for the former royal.
