Throughout the interview, Meghan and Harry talked about their decision to step back as senior members of the royal family. At one point, Meghan recalled how there was a time when she “didn’t want to be alive anymore.”
“I went to the institution, and I said that I needed to go somewhere to get help,” she told Oprah. “I said that, ‘I’ve never felt this way before, and I need to go somewhere.’ And I was told that I couldn’t, that it wouldn’t be good for the institution.”
The Duchess of Sussex, who is expecting a baby girl, also shared conversations someone allegedly had with Harry while she was pregnant with their firstborn, Archie Harrison.
“In those months when I was pregnant,” she said, “all around this same time—so we have in tandem the conversation of ‘He won’t be given security, he’s not going to be given a title,’ and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.”
Oprah said Harry later confirmed the Queen and Prince Philip were not the ones involved in these alleged discussions.
