Duchess Revisits Mental Health Struggles as a Royal
Meghan Markle appeared to issue a veiled warning to the royal family during her latest interview, following the couple's exclusion from the Balmoral celebration.
The Duchess of Sussex, alongside Prince Harry, made a significant appearance on CBS News to discuss the growing issue of cyberbullying and its impact on mental health.
During the conversation with host Jane Pauley, Meghan, a former Suits actress, reflected on her past statement about battling suicidal thoughts, which she first revealed in Oprah Winfrey's explosive interview.
Discussing Meghan’s remarks, royal expert and historian Dr. Tessa Dunlop told The Mirror, "She talked of the need to be 'really open about it' before Meghan admitted she 'hadn't really scraped the surface' of her own pain.”
Dunlop added, "Wow. There it was, out in the open once more. The extremity of Meghan’s dark thoughts when working as a British princess."
The expert speculates that the mother-of-three might be hinting at future projects where she will further explore her mental health struggles during her time in the UK.
Tessa explained, "Breakdown what Meghan said and her healing journey (one she believes is so important), remains incomplete. Clearly, a session on Oprah was insufficient when it came to being 'really open' about her suicidal plight inside the Royal Family."
It's notable that Meghan and Harry left the royal family in 2020. The Montecito couple later accused key royal figures and the British media of complicating their lives as working royals.
Meghan's comments come after King Charles reportedly did not invite the Sussexes to the Balmoral celebration, marking another setback for the couple.
