In the wake of Oprah Winfrey’s explosive interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, intriguing revelations about Meghan’s time within the Royal Family have emerged. The couple described their experience as feeling “trapped,” and it became evident just how isolated Meghan was during her time at Frogmore Cottage. A particularly striking moment came when Meghan shared with her mother, Doria Ragland, that they couldn’t even step outside for a simple coffee run.
Meghan disclosed during the interview that her frequent appearances in the UK tabloids led the Palace to impose strict limitations on her activities, resulting in her not leaving the house for months at a time. She recounted how lunch outings with friends were discouraged, as royal aides insisted she was too visible in the public eye. This narrative was echoed by royal biographer, Miles Thompson, who shared a troubling account of Doria’s surprise during a 2019 visit when neither she nor Meghan could venture out to grab coffees. “You’re stuck in here,” Doria reportedly told her daughter.
This revelation is particularly alarming given that Meghan had previously stated the Palace denied her requests for mental health assistance when she expressed feelings of suicide. It’s evident that even the most mundane pleasures, like enjoying a coffee with her mother, were restricted, adding to the cruelty of her situation. Meghan described this period as experiencing a “death by a thousand cuts.”
Since the interview, the Queen has issued a statement expressing sadness over the challenges faced by Harry and Meghan. However, many viewers perceive this as mere lip service. We truly hope Meghan and Harry continue to cultivate the fulfilling life they deserve.
