Meghan Markle’s recent tell-allinterview with Oprah Winfreywas controversial, but not unprecedented.
Like Meghan, Sarah spoke of how marrying into the royal family came with a lot of pressure.
Now it’s not a fairy tale, it’s real life."
In Meghan’s interview, she talked about being unprepared for royal life.
“I didn’t fully understand what the job was,” she admitted to Oprah (viaAP).
It wasn’t something that was part of conversation at home.
It wasn’t something that we followed."
And no, that was wrong."
For Meghan, royal living was a gilded cage.
“I left the house twice in four months,” she confessed (viaRolling Stone).
“I couldn’t feel lonelier.”
Meghan’s battle with the press left her feeling defeated.
“I didn’t want to be alive anymore,” she admitted.
“It was a clear and real and frightening constant thought.”
Both women found themselves, as Sarah put it, unwilling to “play the game.”
The royal repeated the sentiments he had shared in a recent appearance onThe Late Late Show.
“We all know what the British press can be like,” he said, on the show.
Harry added, “I was like, ‘This is toxic.’
So I did what any husband and father would do…
I need to get my family out of here.
