Meghan Markle Reveals She Has Not ‘Scraped The Surface’ Of Her Past Struggle w/ Suicidal Thoughts

Meghan Markle is opening up about going public with her struggle with suicidal thoughts.

You may remember during her and Prince Harry’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey back in 2021, Meghan Markle spoke about her mental health struggle while in the royal family and revealed,

 “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore.” 

She added that taking her own life was,

“a very clear and real and frightening constant thought. And I remember how he [Harry] just cradled me.”

She and Prince Harry infamously exited their royal family duties in 2020, nearly two years after they got married.

In a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning that aired on Sunday (Aug. 4), Meghan Markle and Prince Harry detailed their Archewell Foundation’s new program, The Parents Network, which aims to help families whose children have suffered online bullying, including children who have sadly take their own lives as a result.

Asked what “connects” them to the families they want to help, Meghan touched Prince Harry’s leg as the host, Jane Pauley, pointed out that the Suits alum appeared “uncomfortable.” Meghan confessed she wasn’t expecting the line of questioning but added that she understood why Jane Pauley asked.

“When you’ve been through any level of pain or trauma, I believe part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is being able to be really open about it.”

She added,

“I haven’t really scraped the surface on my experience. But I do think that I would never want someone else to feel that way. And I would never want someone else to be making those sort of plans. And I would never want someone else to not be believed. So, if me voicing what I have overcome will save someone, or encourage someone in their life to really genuinely check in on them and not assume that the appearance is good, so everything’s okay, then that’s worth it. I’ll take a hit for that.”

Let’s send Meghan Markle some positive thoughts and love!
