Duchess Meghan has been open about the fact that she suffered from suicidal thoughts in the palace for some time. In a speech she now explains her motives in more detail.
Duchess Meghan had already spoken about her suicidal thoughts in the big unveiling interview in March 2021 with Oprah Winfrey. She called herself a “victim of character assassination” and said the pressure drove her “to the point of self-harm.”
Now Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry have been honored at the “Ripple of Hope Award” in New York for their commitment against racism and for mental health. In her speech, she also spoke about why she went public with her story: “I don’t want anyone to feel alone.” She stressed that it can be difficult when you’ve sunk so low “that you can’t see a way out,” as reported by Page Six.
“We all need, if we can and feel brave enough, to just speak honestly about our own experiences. It gives other people the space and courage to do the same, but most importantly, the feeling of not being alone,” he said meghan
Duchess Meghan: That’s why she went public with her suicidal thoughts
She cautioned that during the coronavirus pandemic and global lockdowns, there may have been more people struggling with such thoughts but not wanting to share their experiences.
“And that’s why I made the decision,” Meghan says, “to just say, ‘If my experience can help someone not feel the same way or know that there is hope, then it’s worth every second, which is also always comes with it.”
She wants to be an example of resilience and show that there can be “a happy ending”. “I think that’s what most people are looking for in moments like this.”
Meghan’s time in the palace will probably also be a topic in the Netflix documentary “Harry & Meghan”, which will be released on December 8th.
