Princess Diana, at just 19, was reportedly ordered by Queen Elizabeth to undergo gynecological exams to confirm her ability to bear children. And according to a recent report, decades later, Meghan Markle faced a similar ordeal. According to Radar Online, before her engagement to Prince Harry was made public, Markle was quietly subjected to invasive testing—an experience she found deeply unsettling. At 37, she also allegedly chose to freeze her eggs, a precaution driven by concerns about age and future fertility with Prince Harry.

Meghan Markle ultimately agreed to undergo the tests, the source explained, saying she quietly endured many royal protocols she had to follow. Markle adapted to strict rules and chose not to challenge them because, as the source put it, “she values her luxury life too much.” While that was before her pregnancy, Markle recently opened up about the struggles she faced post-pregnancy.
On her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, Meghan Markle bravely shared her postpartum health struggles, shining a light on challenges many new mothers quietly face.
