Meghan Markle has admitted she is struggling with the pressures of royal life, in a tearful interview during her African tour.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex took their baby son Archie on their recent Royal tour of southern Africa, with the cameras yet again focused on Meghan.
A behind the scenes documentary about their tour is set to air this weekend and in a preview clip Meghan admits she has struggled with becoming a new mum and a newly wed.
The programme - Harry & Meghan: An African Journey - follows the royal couple as they focused on the causes and issues they care about most during their recent visit.
ITV's Tom Brady asked Megan about the "pressures of life in the spotlight and the toll it has taken".
Meghan said: "Look, any woman especially when they are pregnant you’re really vulnerable and so that was made really challenging, and then when you have a new born – you know…"
"And especially as a woman, it’s a lot. So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed it’s, well...
"And, also thank you for asking, because not many people have asked if I’m OK.
"But it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes."
Tom said: "And the answer is, would it be fair to say, not really OK, as in it’s really been a struggle?"
With Meghan simply replying "Yes."
Tom asked how Meghan had found meeting some of the women at a project working against violence.
she said: "Oh my goodness, it’s the most inspiring, we just got here and to see everything that they are doing but also that it’s not just the girls that are feeling empowered, it’s all the roles of the men and the young boys who are also helping them."
