Financial stability, never-ending fame and keys to some of the most beautiful palaces in the world. These are just some of the perks that come with being a member of the British royal family. Meghan Markle is one of the latest people to join Queen Elizabeth and all of her royal relatives after tying the knot with Prince Harry. However, the former actress is beginning to learn that marrying into the royal family isn't everything that it's cooked up to be. With each passing day, Meghan Markle seems to be finding more reasons why marrying Prince Harry might be one of the worst decisions she's ever made...

Too Many Differences?

We often read about celebrity couples who end up divorcing due to "irreconcilable differences." Whatever happens between Meghan and Harry, there is no denying that there are plenty of things they don't have in common.

Before marrying Prince William, Kate Middleton enjoyed working as a photographer/web designer, but ultimately had to part ways with those passions. Marrying Prince Harry didn't just mean that Meghan had to rethink her options in terms of pursuing her dreams - her options are now very limited...

Not Following Royal Protocol

Marrying Prince Harry means that Meghan Markle is required to follow many royal traditions that were previously alien to her. One of the most recent indicators that Meghan had made a huge mistake was during the Trooping of the Color event.

When all royal members were expected to face forward and sing the national anthem, Meghan turned back to speak with Harry, who promptly ordered her to turn around. "She eventually turned around and looked like she was going to start crying," one insider said.

What Will They Do With Archie?

One of Meghan Markle's biggest reasons for regretting marrying Prince Harry might be due to the way the royal family treats their baby boy - Archie.

The public was confused as to why Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip didn't attend the newborn's christening. However, Meghan's mind could be put at ease a little knowing that the Queen didn't attend Prince Louis' christening either last year. Meghan and Harry might also struggle to bring up Archie and future children with shared values.
