HandoutGetty Images During a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey on March 7, Meghan Markle opened up about the difficulties of royal life, including the massive toll it took on her mental health. As she suffered constant public scrutiny, which was often rooted in racism, Markle revealed that she was having “clear and real and frightening and constant” thoughts of suicide while pregnant with her son Archie. “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore,” she revealed. After confiding in her husband, Prince Harry, Markle asked palace officials if she could go somewhere to get help. Her request, she said, was denied.
