Meghan Markle subtly made a dig at broadcaster Piers Morgan for not “believing her” when she talked about struggling with her mental health during her time with the Royal Family, in a new interview which was aired last weekend.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared on CBS’s Sunday Morning show to promote their latest project – The Parents Network – which aims to tackle child safety online and connect families who have lost their children to suicide due to a lack of safeguarding online.
During the interview, Meghan revealed why the project is special to her, recalling her own struggles as a member of the Royal Family.
She claimed that she “only scratched the surface” of speaking about her mental health in her now-infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
Meghan added that she hopes “being open” about her own suicidal thoughts and “online bullying” can “save others”.
Meghan Markle opened up about her mental health during her latest interview
CBS host Jane Pauley told the duchess: “I’m dancing around this because I can see you’re uncomfortable with me even going there.”
To which Meghan replied: “I understand why you are though. I wasn’t expecting it, but I understand why you are.”
She said: “When you’ve been through any level of pain or trauma, I believe part of our healing journey, certainly mine, is to be able to be really open about.
“I haven’t really scraped the surface of my experience but I do think that I would never want someone else to feel that way. And I would never want someone else to be making those sorts of plans and I would never want someone else not to be believed.
“So, if me voicing what I have overcome will save someone, or encourage someone in their life to really genuinely check in on them, and not assume that the appearance is good and so everything is okay, then that’s worth it. I’ll take a hit for that.”
During the Sussexes’s explosive Oprah Winfrey interview on March 7 2021, Meghan said that when she worked for the Royal Family, her mental health became so bad she “didn’t want to be alive any more”.

In the in-depth interview, the duchess revealed her mental health became so bad she “didn’t want to be alive any more”, that she did not receive the help she asked for from Buckingham Palace, and that an unnamed member of the Royal Family had queried “how dark” their son Archie’s skin might be.
The next day, Piers Morgan said on ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “I don’t believe a word she says, Meghan Markle. I wouldn’t believe her if she read me a weather report, and the fact she’s fired up this onslaught against our royal family is contemptible.”
Meghan filed complaints to media regulator Ofcom and ITV, while the regulator received 57,793 complaints in total – the highest in its 18-year history.
Morgan was eventually cleared with the regulator stating that restricting his views would be a “chilling restriction” on free expression, however, it criticised his “apparent disregard” for the subject of suicide.
