The Duchess of Sussex spoke to ITV News at Ten anchor Tom Bradby about the ‘true pressures’ of royal life in the spotlight.
When asked about the ‘toll’ of being in the public eye during her pregnancy, 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…
She continued: “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.”
Bradby then directly asked her whether it was fair to say it had ‘really been a struggle’, to which the Duchess simply replied: “Yes”.
The one-hour documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey airs on ITV at 9pm Sunday .
