The mother of Meghan Markle broke down in tears as she said she felt she ‘couldn’t protect her’ when the Duchess of Sussex experienced suicidal thoughts.
Doria Ragland, who lives close to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in California, wiped up tears as she said it had been hard for her to tear that her daughter was suffering from low mental health while she lived in the UK.
She made the heartfelt revelations in the fourth episode of the couple’s explosive Netflix docuseries, which was released today.
The first three episodes of Harry & Meghan – part of the Sussexes’ multi-million-dollar deal with Netflix – were streamed last week, with the final three hour-long episodes streaming from today.
Looking somber, Doria said: ‘That she would actually think of not wanting to be here, that… that;’s not an easy one for a mum to hear.. You know,’ Doria said, fighting tears.
‘And I can’t protect her. H can’t protect her, she’s.. sniffing,’ she added.
Speaking in a later episode, Doria also revealed she knew ‘the stress they were under. It felt like they were running.’
The Sussexes’ six-part show – which forms part of their multimillion-pound deal with Netflix – has become the streaming giant’s most-watched documentary in a premier week, debuting with 81.55 million hours viewed.
