"I was ashamed to say it at the time and ashamed to say it to Harry...I just didn't want to be alive anymore. I knew that if I didn't say it, that I would do it. And I just didn't want to be alive anymore. And that was a very clear and real and frightening constant thought," Meghan said.

My wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did
The world is well-versed with Harry and Meghan's rift with the UK tabloid. In 2020, after Megxit, Meghan suffered a miscarriage. However, two years later, Harry said that he feels like Meghan suffered a miscarriage due to tabloid pressure.
"I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did," he said, referring to the British tabloid newspaper. "I watched the whole thing.
"Now do we absolutely know that the miscarriage was caused by that?" Of course we don't, but bearing in mind the stress that that caused, the lack of sleep, and the timing of the pregnancy—how many weeks in she was—I can say from what I saw that the miscarriage was caused by what they were trying to do to her.''
