The award-winning star urged his followers never to worry alone and seek help until they find it. In the discussion with Oprah, the duchess opened up about her mental health struggles.

Meghan confessed that she felt suicidal during her time as part of the royal family and had constant thoughts of taking her life. She recalled feeling ashamed to admit her mental struggle to Harry.

Meghan mentioned that before the couple’s January 2019 outing to Royal Albert Hall, she told Harry about her thoughts, and he was skeptical about her joining him on the engagement. However, she told him she couldn’t be alone out of fear.

The soon-to-be mother-of-two said that at the theatre, she found herself weeping whenever the lights went off, advising people always to be kind as no one knows what is happening behind closed doors.
