Interview with Oprah Winfrey: Duchess Meghan: “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore”

HDuchess Meghan said she had suicidal thoughts during her difficult time in the British royal family. “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore,” said Meghan while broadcasting an eagerly awaited interview by American broadcaster CBS with presenter Oprah Winfrey on Sunday evening (local time). “I thought it would solve the situation for everyone”. At that time, she was also afraid of being alone because she could have harmed herself. She turned to her husband, Prince Harry, and the palace to help her.

In an eagerly anticipated interview, Meghan also spoke of racist behavior during her pregnancy with son Archie. There have been concerns and discussions about “how dark his skin could be when he is born,” said Meghan. This was the result of conversations between the “family” and her husband Prince Harry. Meghan did not want to be more precise, however, because this would be “very harmful” for some people. It is clear, however, that a brown baby would have been a problem for the palace.

The conversation broadcast on Sunday evening (local time) by the broadcaster CBS is the first interview by Meghan and Prince Harry since the couple gave up their royal duties a year ago. Meghan’s supporters had repeatedly accused the media and the royal family of campaigning against the Duchess in particular. There were also allegations that the wife of the Queen’s grandson Harry was exposed to racism. The mother of the 39-year-old American is black.

“We were told to be silent”

Meghan said she felt like she was in a gold cage while she was in the British royal family. She was condemned to be silent. “I don’t know the institution (monarchy), so we were told to keep silent.” Clear rules of conduct have been imposed on everyone around her since it was known that she was in a relationship with Harry.

According to her portrayal, Duchess Kate made Meghan cry. A few days before Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry in 2018, Kate was upset about a flower girl’s dress, Meghan said. “And it made me cry. And it really hurt my feelings ”. After that, Prince William’s wife apologized and gave her flowers, Meghan said. Kate is a “good person”.

In the UK, prior to the interview, there were fears that possible allegations against the royal family could lead to an ordeal at the palace. Observer had previously emphasized that any criticism of a member of the Royals should be seen as an attack on the entire royal family.

It’s the couple’s first interview since giving up their royal duties a year ago. Supporters had accused the media and, most recently, the palace of campaigning, in particular against Duchess Meghan.
The conversation with Oprah was announced on February 15, the day after it was announced that Harry and Meghan were expecting a second child.
