Meghan’s revelation to Oprah showed the barriers to getting help for mental health. Here’s how to manage
In Oprah Winfrey’s bombshell interview Sunday with Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, one takeaway was that help for mental health is still hard to get — even if you’re part of the British royal family.
In Meghan’s first public comments since she and her husband, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, stepped down as senior royals, she described herself as a victim of a Buckingham Palace that suppressed her personal freedom and worried about how dark the skin of her son Archie would be. She said these experiences severely impacted her mental health, resulting in suicidal thoughts that made the Duchess feel she couldn’t be left without supervision.
