Meghan Markle had lost the will to live due to excessive media attacks against her.
Writing in his memoir ‘Spare’, Prince Harry admits he came home one day to find his wife sobbing.
He wrote: “She was sobbing. Uncontrollably. My love, what happened? I thought we had lost the baby. I went to her on my knees. What? To live. I did not understand this what she meant at first. I didn’t understand, maybe I didn’t want to understand.
The Duke adds: “My mind just wouldn’t process the words. Everything is so painful, she would say. What is it? To be hated like this – for what? What had she done? she asked. She really wanted What sin had she committed to deserve this kind of treatment?”
Harry continues: “She just wanted the pain to stop, she says. Not just for her, for everyone. For me, for her mother. But she couldn’t make it stop, so she decided to disappear.”
Harry and Meghan therefore stepped down as senior members of the Royal Family in 2020.
