Meghan Markle makes candid admission about famous Oprah Winfrey interview

Meghan Markle has admitted she didn't mind 'taking a hit' after the bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview she did with husband Prince Harry.

Back in 2021 when she was pregnant with her second child, Meghan opened up to Oprah Winfrey about her treatment whilst being a member of the Royal Family following her fairytale wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.

She and Harry famously stepped down as senior royals in 2020, with them going on to relocate to the United States and completely step away from public life in the UK.

With her husband by her side, she told Oprah that she 'didn't want to be alive anymore' during the peak of the crisis, but that her plea for help was ignored by senior royals.

Now, in a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Meghan claimed that she hadn't even 'scraped the surface' of what she went through during her chat with Oprah, but went on to say that opening up was worth it if it helped others going through similar issues.

She said: "I think when you've been through any level of pain or trauma, I believe part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is being able to be really open about it.

"And I haven't really scraped the surface on 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 to not 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 so everything's okay, then that's worth it.

"I'll take a hit for that."

The Sussexes also revealed their concerns for their two children - Archie and Lilibet - and how difficult it is to spot the signs of someone who is struggling with their mental health.

Meghan said: "Our kids are young; they're three and five. They're amazing. But all you want to do as parents is protect them."

Harry added: "At this point, we've got to the stage where almost every parent needs to be a first responder.

"And even the best first responders in the world wouldn't be able to tell the signs of possible suicide. Like, that is the terrifying piece of this."

The interview was to promote their new initiative, which they have named The Parents' Network.

The free service open to people in the US, UK and Canada, and aims offer 'crucial' support to parents whose children have suffered from the negative effects of social media.
