Prince Harry has often blamed the tabloids for deepening the rift between him and the Royal Family. However, it’s widely acknowledged that the real strain began with the explosive revelations he and Meghan Markle made during their 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview. This interview unveiled troubling secrets about the Royal Family and intensified the existing tensions, particularly those stemming from Prince William’s reported disapproval of Meghan.
Meghan’s New Project and Its Impact
Now, while efforts to mend the relationship with the Royal Family might seem like a priority, Meghan has announced she will further expose sensitive issues related to the palace. Her new initiative, The Parents Network, under their Archewell Foundation, is aimed at supporting parents who have lost children to suicide related to social media issues such as cyberbullying and mental health struggles.
In the upcoming CBS interview, Meghan plans to delve deeper into her own mental health struggles, including the suicidal thoughts she experienced while living at the Royal Palace and pregnant with Prince Archie. She had previously shared these experiences during her 2021 Oprah interview, revealing how negative media coverage and the palace’s refusal to address false stories exacerbated her depression. She had also asked for mental health support, which was denied by the Royal Family.
Meghan’s Plans and Harry’s Reaction
According to Meghan, she only began to scratch the surface of her mental health struggles during her Oprah interview. She now intends to be more open about her past to help others. This transparency is seen as a brave step to bring attention to mental health issues and their impact.
However, royal author Angela Levin, during an appearance on the Dan Wooton Outspoken program, observed that Harry appeared uncomfortable and distant during the interview. Levin noted that Harry seemed detached, and Meghan’s gesture of placing her hand on his knee without a supportive reaction from him was telling. This body language suggests that Harry might be feeling conflicted about Meghan’s approach to promoting their project.
While Meghan’s willingness to share her personal struggles is commendable and aimed at helping others, it may also lead to further revelations about the Royal Family’s treatment of her. The continuation of this public scrutiny could potentially deepen the divide between the Sussexes and the Royals.
