Meghan Markle quit ‘toxic’ royal life ‘for baby Archie so he didn’t pick up stress and anxiety’
MEGHAN Markle quit the "toxic" royal life for her son - because she didn't want him "picking up on her stress and anxiety".
A pal has claimed the 38-year-old decided to step back with Prince Harry for the sake of baby Archie.
They : “She also felt like she couldn’t be the best mother to Archie if she wasn’t being her true, authentic self. Something she felt she couldn’t be in the royal family confines.
“She said she didn’t want Archie picking up on her stress and anxiety.
"She felt like it was a toxic environment for him because there was too much tension and pent-up frustrations.
“Everything pretty much revolves around Archie right now and Meghan getting back into shape.
“They have a daily routine of doing yoga and taking long hikes.”
The Sun Online has gone to Buckingham Palace for comment.
The pal also revealed the Duchess of Sussex has "no regrets" over quitting senior royal life, as she whips up food for baby Archie and does yoga.
On her plans for future work, they added: "Meghan said her work with Disney is far from over. The voice over is just the beginning and that there’s more collaborations to come.
“Meghan has no regrets and the sky’s the limit. She said (she and Harry) feel like a huge weight has been lifted."
ALL FOR ARCHIE
It comes as Kate Middleton and Prince William put on a show of unity and strength today as they took on multiple engagements with Charles and Camilla.
Meghan and Harry, 35, have been holed up in a £11million mansion – owned by a mystery billionaire – on Vancouver Island, in Canada, since leaving the UK.
They took on their first gig since stepping down last week - speaking at a money summit for an investment bank in Florida.
The pair posted on Instagram their plans to split their time between Britain and North America - with Canada as their second home.
The couple said they will be "financially independent" as they "carve out a progressive new role", but will still support the Queen.
The Duke, 35, and Duchess, 38, said in their surprise statement: “After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.
The Queen was reportedly rocked after her grandson Peter Phillip's announced he and his wife are divorcing.
The couple are in the process of separating, and Phillip will be the first of the Queen's grandchildren to legally split.
They wed at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle in 2008, and decided to split last year.
The revelation comes just two weeks after Peter sparked international controversy for advertising milk in China while being promoted as a “British royal”.
