Thoughts of suicide and a secret wedding

The Duchess of Sussex herself said that after her marriage to Prince Harry, she often felt lonely. She admitted that she felt like she was being held captive after her driver's license, passport and bank cards were taken away from her immediately after the wedding ceremony.

And before the marriage, she “constantly” had thoughts of suicide.

"These were very clear, real, and very scary thoughts... I couldn't be left alone," she clarified.

Meghan Markle even wanted to go to the hospital. But she was dissuaded from doing so, because it could cause a bad reaction.

The Duchess also said that she married Prince Harry three days before the public ceremony of their wedding, which could be watched by everyone. The official ceremony took place on May 18, 2018.

The private ceremony, according to Markle, was not attended by the families of the newlyweds, only the Archbishop of Canterbury (the spiritual head of the Church of England in the UK).

– We wanted to form an alliance between us, " the Duchess of Sussex explained.
