Fans of her new Netflix show may have spotted\u00a0Meghan\u00a0Markle\u2019s strange \u2018fetish\u2019, but insiders say smitten Prince Harry is fully on-board<\/p>\n

Meghan has shown off some new hobbies in her latest Netflix show<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Perfectly made-up in a palette of neutrals, with her glossy locks cascading down her back, their brunette hue the only contrast to be seen in her perfectly serene surroundings,\u00a0Meghan\u00a0Markle appears in her latest Netflix debut as the lovechild of ASMR videos and Martha Stewart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That is, until, the cameras pan down to her feet which, while still incredibly delicate and well-groomed, are entirely without shoes, even socks,\u00a0even\u00a0when she\u2019s gardening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And even more than her revelations throughout the show that she loves doughnuts and refers to ladybirds as \u2018ladybugs\u2019 signalling some cultural differences between her sunny Californian upbringing and her husband Prince Harry\u2019s buttoned up boyhood, it\u2019s the \u2018barefoot bombshell\u2019 that has made everything (including the time she opened the door to the Princess of Wales sockless) make sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now an insider says that Meghan, 43, is at her happiest when her friends and family bin their Blahniks at the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An insider says, \u2018Meghan\u00a0is obviously a believer that walking around barefoot paves the way for a more sensory experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018She filmed her Netflix show barefoot and her celebrity guests were encouraged to toss off their shoes and join her. She wants everyone to experience the sensation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018She insists that everyone removes their shoes before they step into her house, socks are okay, but bare feet are better and will get her total approval \u2013 and even their staffers must follow\u00a0Meghan\u2019s rules.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Indeed,\u00a0Meghan\u2019s guests, including Mindy Kaling, Abigail Spencer and sweetly, her mum Doria Ragland, didn\u2019t bat an eyelid when behind-the-scenes clips emerged of\u00a0Meghan\u00a0dancing and prancing around her kitchen, carrying hot plates, canap\u00e9s and cocktails all while wearing nothing at all on her feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meghan went barefoot for a recent Instagram video<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
However,\u00a0Meghan\u00a0previously secretly hinted during her 2022 Netflix documentary\u00a0Harry &\u00a0Meghan\u00a0that it was her barefoot brazenness that may have contributed to the entire fallout between Prince Harry and his family, particularly his brother Prince William.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Recalling her first meeting with William and Kate Middleton, the future King and Queen of England \u2013 a country that is notoriously reserved when it comes to bare feet, with \u2018upper-class\u2019 women only showing their \u2018lust-inducing\u2019 ankles in the 1900s \u2013\u00a0Meghan\u00a0said, \u2018Even when Will and Kate came over and I met her for the first time, they came over for dinner and I was in ripped jeans and I was barefoot.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added, \u2018It’s like I was a hugger, I’ve always been a hugger. I didn’t realise that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
But despite the misjudgement in etiquette of \u2018lunging\u2019 at the then Duchess of Cambridge in shredded jeans and no shoes, the source says\u00a0Meghan finds going barefoot a \u2018grounding\u2019 experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So much so, she also gardens without a sock in sight (presumably not in the family\u2019s famous chicken coop).\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Walking around barefoot at home has a calming influence on\u00a0Meghan. She\u2019s been kicking off her shoes the minute she walks in the door for as long as she can remember,\u2019 the source shares.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018But\u00a0Meghan\u00a0is just as comfortable walking around barefoot in her garden as she is in the house. It allows for a deeper connection to the plants and earth.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meghan, whose mum Doria Ragland is a yoga teacher, has long been a fan of spiritual practices \u2013 installing a yoga studio into her and Harry\u2019s former UK home of Frogmore cottage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the insider says her love of the exercise has hugely contributed to her barefoot ritual, despite putting some people off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They add, \u2018No doubt she gets this from her years of practicing yoga. She finds it very grounding and balancing and posture-improving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Meghan\u00a0clearly is a believer that going barefoot improves the strength of her feet, her arches, ankles and calves, that the grounding improves circulation and even sleep.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u2018A lot of people think it\u2019s weird, but it\u2019s all part of her Zen world.\u2019<\/p>\n

Harry is onboard with her new philosophy<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
And now we hear that Harry, 40, has also taken the leap across the cultural chasm from his own previously pomp-ful planet to\u00a0Meghan\u2019s \u2018Zen\u2019 world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2021, when the couple released a series of professional photos showing\u00a0Meghan’s pregnancy with Lilibet, now three (they also share son Archie, five), Harry was very much barefoot. So much so, that the soles of his feet facing the camera almost eclipsed\u00a0Meghan\u2019s pregnancy bump.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sign of a \u2018happily unburdened\u2019 Prince, cried royal reporters, and now our source says Harry is now so happy sans shoes that he\u2019s even going for regular pedicures.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They share, \u2018Of course,\u00a0Meghan\u00a0is very fastidious about foot care and her feet are always clean and well-groomed and now Harry is a follower of her foot fetishes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018He walks around barefoot and has become a devotee of pedicures, too. In fact, one of the first things he noticed about her in their early days was how pretty her feet were.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, like Kim Kardashian\u2019s famous \u2018bum rituals\u2019,\u00a0Meghan\u2019s salubrious soles come at a cost \u2013 in both time and money.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not only does\u00a0Meghan\u00a0visit Montecito\u2019s most upmarket beauty salons (previously revealing that she opts for shellac nails in befitting shades such as \u2018Romantique\u2019 and \u2018Cashmere wrap\u2019), the source says she also follows strict daily rules at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They reveal, \u2018Meghan\u00a0is just as fastidious about foot health. Washing, drying, and moisturising are part of her daily ritual. And anyone who knows\u00a0Meghan\u00a0also knows she has regular pedicures and foot massages and uses special creams for feet.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her rigorous routines also extend to fashion-lover\u00a0Meghan\u2019s red carpet looks, with sources revealing her inside trick to keep her toes free from the bunions and blisters all-too-common with sky-scraping stilettos.<\/p>\n
\u2018The times that\u00a0Meghan\u00a0is required to wear high heels, she always goes for a larger size to avoid blisters and swelling, especially when she\u2019s required to stand for long periods of time,\u2019 the source explains.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018She can wear pumps and stilettos with confidence without any adverse effects now. It\u2019s all down to her devotion to footcare.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
