Insights from Meghan Markle's Oprah interview

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently had a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. Meghan Markle told in the interview that all the toxicity of the British tabloids lead her to have suicidal thoughts and disturbed her mental health. She also claimed that a senior member of the institution told her that if she received help for her mental health, it would reflect poorly on the family.

Markle also revealed that a family member asked Prince Harry how dark their son Archie's skin could be. Prince Harry in the interview said that he felt 'trapped' in his life as a senior member of the royal family and said that he had to step down from his duties to protect his family from the toxic scenario that the British press was creating. Prince Harry also admitted that he also "went to a very dark place" when his wife felt suicidal and was reluctant to speak up to his family about the matter. When Prince Harry began seeing the similarity in the media’s treatment of his wife Meghan to its treatment of his late mother Princess Diana, he decided to step down from his duties.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry also revealed they got married in a private ceremony 3 days before their public royal wedding that was to be broadcast live. The couple also announced that they will be having a baby girl. They are already parents to their son Archie Mountbatten Windsor.
