Meghan spoke of the misunderstanding with her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who placed her as the villain for allegedly attacking little Carlota.
Meghan Markle spoke about her suicidal thoughts, Prince Harry revealed a painful break with his father, and the two settled some accounts with the British royal family during an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The couple recounted their dramatic departure from England, alleging racism in the royal family and a campaign of lies against Meghan.
Meghan also spoke of the misunderstanding with her sister-in-law Kate Middleton who placed her as her villain. Her crude statements undoubtedly lacerated the good image of the Duchess of Cambridge.
Here are the most shocking statements from the controversial interview:
"Kate Middleton"
Meghan flatly denied having made Prince William's wife Kate Middleton cry before her marriage to Harry, claiming it was all a fabrication.
"Everyone at the institution knew it was not true," Meghan said of the incident, which has been closely studied by the gossip press.
"The opposite happened," she added, saying that Kate "was upset about something, but she kept it to herself and apologized."
"A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something (...), about the flower girl dresses, and that made me cry and really hurt my feelings."
For Meghan, the incident was "a turning point" in her relationship with the royal family.
“They knew it was not true. And I thought, well, if they are going to kill things like that, then what can we do? "
"I understood not only was she not being protected but they were willing to lie to protect other family members."
"I no longer wanted to live"
Meghan revealed that negative coverage of her in the British press had led her to a point where she "no longer wanted to live."
“I knew if she didn't say it, she would. And I ... I just didn't want to live anymore. And that was a very clear, real and terrifying constant thought, ”she pointed out.
Meghan, who married Prince Harry in 2018, claimed to have informed the royal family that she was struggling and that she needed professional help, but was told that she "couldn't, that it wouldn't be good for the institution."
Eventually, she reached out to one of the late Princess Diana's best friends for support.
"Who else could understand what it is like ... what it really is like inside?"
"How dark" will your skin be
Meghan, daughter of a white father and a black mother, revealed her family's concerns about the skin tone that hers would have, her son Archie hers, as well as the security to which she would be entitled, before the birth of her on May 6, 2019.
"In those months when she was pregnant (...) we had a series of conversations about 'she would not be given security, she would not be given a title' and also concerns and conversations about how dark her skin would be when she was born," she said.
"Those were conversations that the family had" with Enrique.
"Really disappointed"
Prince Henry spoke of his relationship with his father. He said that he was "really disappointed" by the attitude of Prince Charles during the whole situation, but now they were talking.
“We have a lot of work to do, you know? I'm really disappointed, because he went through something similar. He knows what pain feels like, ”Enrique said, recalling the crisis that led to the divorce of his parents.
"I will always love" Prince Charles - heir to the throne - and Prince William, his brother, who are "trapped" by the conventions of the monarchy.
“My father and my brother are trapped. They cannot leave. And I have great compassion for that, "he said.
He also said that he and Meghan did "everything possible" to remain in the royal family.
"I'm sad that what happened happened, but I feel comfortable knowing that we did everything we could to make it work," he said.
"Happy ending"
But not all were reproaches.
They talked about his current happiness and revealed that his second child will be a girl.
"She's a girl!" They said in unison, adding that they expect her to be born in the northern summer.
"To have a boy and then a girl, what more can we ask for?" Prince Henry rejoiced, after stating that they did not expect to have more children.
"Two is enough," Meghan added.
The couple gave viewers a glimpse into their present "fairy tale" life in Montecito, California, a beachside celebrity enclave.
Meghan closed the interview with a hopeful look to the future, saying that Harry had made a decision that "saved my life."
"And now, as we are on the other side, we have not only survived, but we are thriving," she added.
Asked if her story "has a happy ending," Meghan replied, "He does. Better than any fairy tale you've ever read. "
