Meghan Markle’s revelation about the lack of support from Buckingham Palace during her mental health crisis has captured widespread attention on TikTok. The Duchess of Sussex detailed this moment in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021. She shared her struggles with media scrutiny while pregnant, saying she was willing to “do anything they told me to” for protection from the royal family.
The clip shows the mother of two revealing the abandonment by “the institution.” Why, you might ask? It was because she was not a “paid member” of the royal family. The video seems to have resonated with many, amassing more than thousands of likes and comments on TikTok.
Prince Harry would later corroborate Meghan Markle’s experiences in his bombshell memoir “Spare.” Recounting his efforts to stop the media frenzy, he contacted people nicknamed “The Bee” and “The Wasp.” Despite initial promises from these courtiers to intervene and organize the situation, the Sussex couple was ultimately ghosted and their protection pleas were unanswered.
