Signs of Meghan’s turmoil on night she told Harry she wanted to end her life

Prince Harry has revealed the moment his wife Meghan Markle told him she was suicidal, saying she did not go through with killing herself while pregnant because of her concerns about him ‘losing another woman’.

The Duke of Sussex spoke during his new Apple TV docuseries The Me You Can’t See about an occasion two years ago when Meghan told him she was suicidal, before a charity event at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

He told Oprah Winfrey that Meghan cried at the show, while pregnant with their son Archie, while he also accused the Royal Family during an interview of ‘total neglect’ and said he will not be bullied.

Harry also addressed traumatic memories from his childhood – including the death of his mother Princess Diana, the resulting mental distress and, in more recent years, harassment on social media he has faced.

He said: ‘Meghan was struggling, and people have seen the photograph of us squeezing each other’s hands as we walked into the Royal Albert Hall in London for a charity event – she was six months pregnant at the time.

‘What perhaps people don’t understand is earlier that evening, Meghan decided to share with me the suicidal thoughts and the practicalities of how she was going to end her life.’

Today, a body language expert said Meghan put on a brave face to mask her pain while Harry gave away tell-tale signs of anxiety during their appearance at the Royal Albert Hall on January 16, 2019.

 

Resurfaced footage of the couple at the concert in January 2019 featured in episode two of Harry’s new Apple TV series with Oprah Winfrey, entitled The Me You Can’t See.

The footage appeared as the Duke of Sussex, 36, opened up about what happened prior to their arrival, when his wife told him she was suicidal.

 

Judi said Harry’s body language during this discussion suggested Meghan ‘really was the one who ‘save’ him at this low point’.

‘He begins to fiddle with his wedding ring,’ she says. ‘Harry slows and becomes calmer when he speaks about Meghan and he appears to mime her side of their conversations, throwing his hands out palms-up to repeat her suggestion that ‘I think you need to see someone’.

‘Harry uses his body language to role-play both sides in the argument they had, using the open hands and calm of Meghan versus the self-protective fist-shapes as he first thinks ‘How dare you’ about the thought he needed help.
