The Duchess of Sussex, exiled in the United States with her husband Harry, the youngest son of King Charles III, confided this Sunday, August 4, about her dark thoughts, in a televised interview intended to promote the “Parents Network” campaign, aimed at parents of children who are cyberbullied.

The American channel CBS broadcast a joint interview on Sunday, August 4, between Meghan Markle and her husband Harry, the youngest son of King Charles III of England. On the occasion of the launch of a campaign to support the “Parents Network” program of their foundation, intended for parents of cyberbullied children, the Duchess of Sussex confides that she has been overcome by suicidal thoughts.

“If sharing what I've overcome can save someone or encourage them to care about them, and not assume that because they look okay, everything is okay, it's worth it,” said the mother of Archie, 5, and Lilibeth, 3 years.

For her, talking is the only therapy possible: “When you've dealt with any level of pain or trauma, I think part of the healing journey, and certainly part of mine, is being able to talk about it openly,”, the former actress continued.

Meghan Markle first spoke about her suicidal thoughts in a shocking interview with American TV star interviewer Oprah Winfrey in 2021, the year of her break with the British royal family.

Archewell, Meghan and Harry's foundation, was singled out in the spring by Californian authorities for failing to comply with the rules that apply to charities, BFMTV reported last May.
