Meghan also told Oprah that she felt that she was naïve before she married into the royal family as she did not know much about them. She also admitted that her experiences led her to have thoughts of self-harm and suicide and said that she did not receive any help when she was asking for it.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped down from their roles as senior members of the royal family and are now financially independent.
Prince Harry on the other hand voiced out his concern that history might repeat itself, alluding to the tragedy that happened to his mother Princess Diana.
And while Meghan did not mention specific people, Prince Harry mentioned, "I had three conversations with my grandmother, and two conversations with my father before he stopped taking my calls. And then he said, can you put this all in writing?"
Meghan also told Oprah that when things started to get worse, she came to the understanding that not only was she not being protected but that, "they were willing to lie to protect other members of the family."
Meghan also said that the Queen had been wonderful to her and that it was important for her to remember that there's family and then there are people who run the institution.
