A lot of fans can’t help but wonder why Meghan Markle isn’t speaking about her own mental health issues while her husband Prince Harry is pouring his heart out to the world.
The Duke of Sussex sat down with Oprah Winfrey in the first episode of The Me You Can’t See, in which he talked about the trauma he experienced following the death of his mother, Princess Diana, and how his family did very little to help him with his mental health struggles. Here’s what you need to know.
Even though Meghan had told Oprah in their bombshell interview back in March that she experienced suicidal thoughts while she was pregnant back in 2018, she’s been rather quiet about her own mental health.
Royal Fans Want To See Meghan Markle Speak About Her Mental Health On Apple’s The Me You Can’t See Series
Her husband, meanwhile, has given the world a glimpse of what would normally be a very private therapy session in the Apple Plus series about mental health.
Harry told Oprah that it was Meghan who had encouraged him to go to therapy. He told Oprah, “The moment I started therapy and probably within my second session, my therapist turned around to me, and said, ‘That sounds like you are reverting to 12-year-old Harry.’ I felt somewhat ashamed and defensive. She said, ‘I’m not calling you a child. I’m expressing sympathy and empathy for you for what happened to you when you were a child. You never processed it. You were never allowed to talk about it. And all of a sudden now, it’s coming up in different ways as projection.’ That was the start of a learning journey for me. I became aware that I’d been living in a bubble, within this family, within this institution, I was sort of almost trapped in a thought process or a mindset.”
Harry says that “therapy has equipped me to be able to take on anything. That’s why I’m here now. That’s why my wife is here now. We chose to put our mental health first. That’s what we’re doing. And that’s what we will continue to do.”
But what fans want to know is why Meghan is quiet about her own problems when she could be sitting there right by her husband and talking about her own personal issues, too.
Some comments from disgruntled royal fans have included, “NO ONE should be subjected to this. The people (OW) that are doing it (for money) are the worst. It is absolute exploitation and the fact that H has exposed himself to it speaks to the parlors state of his personal life and isolation, along with, “His blood boils apparently at the cameras and yet here he is, baring his soul and breaching his family members privacy in front of the cameras for the entertainment of the world. Hypocrisy at its worst. Why isn’t Meghan doing the same thing?”
Another critic wrote, “Why isn’t Meghan speaking about her problems with her father? He’s clearly not in a good place still. He needs to get out of the limelight and focus on a happy family life. Soon he won’t be able to look back at his time with his young children with much joy.”
