Prince Harry Shares Devastating Details About The Night Meghan Markle Wanted To Commit Suicide
As we previously reported, during Meghan Markle’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year, the Duchess of Sussex opened up about her mental health and revealed that she was not given the help she needed by the royals when she reportedly felt suicidal.
During the premiere of the new Apple TV documentary “The Me You Can’t See,” the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, gave further details about his wife’s struggles.
He said: “Meghan decided to share with me the suicidal thoughts and the practicalities of how she was going to end her life. The scariest thing for her was her clarity of thought. She hadn’t ‘lost it.’ She wasn’t crazy. She wasn’t self-medicating, be it through pills or through alcohol.” He went on to say, “She was absolutely sober. She was completely sane. Yet in the quiet of night, these thoughts woke her up. I’m somewhat ashamed of the way that I dealt with them.” Harry went on to share that what stopped his wife from taking her own life was how “unfair” it would be to him after the death of his mom 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 mom 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.
Harry then admitted, “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.
Meghan told Oprah back in March that she did, in fact, go to a royal but was sadly turned away. “I went to the institution and said that I needed to go somewhere to get help, said that I’ve never felt this way before and I need to go somewhere, and they said I couldn’t, that it wouldn’t be good for the institution.”
“I share this because there’s so many people who are afraid to voice that they need help,” she said. “And I know personally how hard it is to—not just hard it is but when your voice is silenced, to be told no… This was emails, begging for help, saying very specifically I am concerned for my mental welfare… Nothing was ever done. So we had to find a solution.”
