Meghan Markle Reveals Why She Spoke Out On Suicide
Meghan Markle revealed she spoke out about her suicidal thoughts because “I don’t want anyone to feel alone” — adding that when you are that low it can be hard “you don’t see a way out.”
The Duchess of Sussex, 41, was asked about her decision to detail the moment she considered ending her life while living inside palace walls and admitted that “it wasn’t an easy decision to make, as you can imagine.”
Asked why she chose to reveal this during her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, Markle told a crowd at the Ripple of Hope Awards Tuesday night: “I don’t want anyone to feel alone.
“And when you’ve been through anything that’s challenging, and everyone, especially in the past few years with lockdown and COVID, that spike in numbers of people having an experience they might not be voicing.
“We all need to, when we can, if we feel brave enough, to just speak honestly about your own experience,” she said: “It gives other people space and the courage to do the same, but more than that to really feel like you’re not alone, because I think that is often what can be the largest hindrance when you feel that way, you don’t see a way out.”
