Behind-The-Scenes Wedding Drama
In the weeks before Meghan and Harry’s wedding, the couple was drowning in press coverage about Meghan’s father not attending the wedding. Additionally, Meghan recently opened up about an incident in which Kate made her cry. “A few days before the wedding, she was upset about … flower girl dresses, and it made me cry, and it really hurt my feelings,” she said. Princess Diana also spoke about the time before her and Prince Charles’s wedding. She said, “This ridiculous [reporter] said, ‘Are you in love?’ I thought, ‘What a thick question.’ So I said, ‘Yes, of course, we are,’ and Charles turned around and said, ‘Whatever love means.’ And that threw me completely. I thought, ‘What a strange answer.’ It traumatized me”.

Both Meghan and Diana suffered from depression while in the public eye. “I was unwell with post-natal depression, which no one ever discusses,” Princess Diana said. “I never had depression in my life. But then when I analyzed it I could see that the changes I’d made in the last year had all caught up with me, and my body had said: ‘We want a rest.’ I received a great deal of treatment, but I knew in myself that actually what I needed was space and time to adapt to all the different roles that had come my way.” Additionally, Princess Diana struggled with “bulimia for a number of years”. In her interview with Oprah, Meghan opened up about her mental health struggles while pregnant with Archie: “I knew that if I didn’t say it, that I would do it. And I just didn’t want to be alive anymore. And that was a very clear and real and frightening constant thought. … I went to the institution, and I said that I needed to go somewhere to get help. I said, ‘I’ve never felt this way before.'”
