In a new interview that Prince Harry has been in, he drops a “truth bomb” for accusing them of “total silence” and “neglect” when his wife, Meghan Markle, had been suicidal.
His father, Prince Charles, was one of the factors that made him suffer and traumatized as a kid. Revealing the truth now, he promised that he would not be “bullied into silence,” because he had felt trapped before.
He tells Oprah as a part of his new AppleTV+ show, The Me You Can’t See, that he felt abandoned and they contributed to being one of the biggest reasons he had broken off and left for California in the first place.
He says, “Certainly now I will never be bullied into silence. I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met with total silence, total neglect. We spent four years trying to make it work. We did everything that we could possibly could to stay there and carry on doing the role and doing the job. But Meghan was struggling.”
He added that they felt trapped and there was no option to leave. He also mentions that she was going to end her life, and that they shouldn’t have felt that way in the first place.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said that it is clear that there is a “huge gulf between the Royal Family and the Sussexes.” Harry says that Meghan had not taken her life away because she thought it was unfair that everything was on Harry, and that he would be losing another woman in his life with their baby inside of her.
Harry accused the family of smearing them to the press, recalling heartbreaking moments of his wife crying non-stop into her pillow.
The series had been released just hours after Prince William attacked BBC for ruining Princess Diana’s life by having a rogue reporter touch up on it.
Despite the attack, Harry sends back another, insisting that he wanted “reconciliation and healing” even after the trauma that they have caused. The list includes Markle’s suicidal thoughts, smearing Megan’s name before their interview with Oprah, drinking the pain away, criticizing his father’s parenting, and so forth.
The Duke says that history was “repeating itself.” But asks rhetorically, “Isn’t it about breaking the cycle? My mother was chased to death while she was in a relationship… And now look what’s happened. They’re not going to stop until she [Megan] dies.”
