A source told New! that Caroline isn’t in a good place.

They said: “Caroline is home and friends fear she’s not in a good place. It’s a major struggle for her and she’s feeling the pressure of the public judging her. As much as she’s trying to put on a brave face, she’s privately, and understandably, feeling very stressed.”
