PRINCE Harry, 36, spoke about Meghan’s struggles with mental health as well as his own in the documentary The Me You Can’t See.
And Meghan gave her side of the story in another earlier interview with Oprah Winfrey, but what exactly did she say? Here’s all you need to know…
Did Meghan Markle attempt suicide?
Meghan revealed during a high-profile interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year that she had struggled with suicidal thoughts.
The duke of Sussex told Oprah in a new doc, The Me You Can’t See, that what stopped his wife from giving in to suicidal was how “unfair” it would be to him after the death of his mum Princess Diana in 1997.
“The thing that stopped her from seeing it through was how unfair it would be on me after everything that had happened to my mum and to now be put in a position of losing another woman in my life, with a baby inside of her, our baby,” he said.
“The scariest thing for her was her clarity of thought. She hadn’t ‘lost it.’ … She was completely sane. Yet in the quiet of night, these thoughts woke her up.”
Harry also spoke about trying to get help from his family during this difficult time when his wife was “struggling” while she was pregnant with their son Archie.
“I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever, it is just got met with total silence, total neglect,” he said.
What did Meghan Markle say?
Meghan Markle broke down in tears as she revealed she told Prince Harry she “didn’t want to be alive anymore” and had suicidal thoughts in a shocking tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The Duchess of Sussex said she begged for help from the Firm after struggling with her mental health – saying it was her husband who “saved” her.
But in the explosive interview, the 39-year-old said she had been told she would not be able to seek help as it “wouldn’t be good for the institution.”
Breaking down in tears, pregnant Meghan said: “I just didn’t see a solution.
“I didn’t want to be alive anymore.”
And she said when she reached out for help with the Palace’s Human Resources team, she was told because she was not a paid employee, she could not be supported.
One night, while suffering suicidal thoughts, Meghan claimed that she forced herself to go to an event with Harry, 36, – because she felt she couldn’t be left alone, for fear of what she might do.
And she said while the lights were down during the Cirque du Soleil premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in January 2019, she was “weeping” while clutching Harry’s hand until his knuckles were white.
The Duchess of Sussex, who was six months pregnant at the time, said she would cry while the lights were down in the royal box before she would compose herself for the cameras and smile during the intervals.
Meghan revealed: “I was ashamed to say it at the time and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry because of how much loss he suffered.
“But I knew that if I didn’t say it I would do it – because I just didn’t want to be alive anymore.
“I didn’t want to be alive anymore. That was a very clear and real and frightening, constant thought.
“And I remember, I remember how he just cradled me.”
She later said Harry, 36, “saved” her by ultimately quitting the Royal Family.
In the candid chat, Meghan said: “I think he saved all of us.
“He ultimately called it – we’ve got to find a way for us, for Archie and you made a decision that certainly saved my life and saved all of us.
“You need to want to be saved.”
