The Duchess of Sussex has often been put in the spotlight, but a lot of these times, it was often due to her shortcoming. Meghan Markle’s struggle in the royal firm was highlighted from the several times the UK tabloid printed something negative about her.

One of the many reasons she and husband of two years, Prince Harry, left the royal firm was the lack of support from other royal members despite the tabloid's clear negative effect on Meghan.

During an interview with the podcast ‘Teenage Therapy,’ Meghan Markle opens up about her mental health struggle.

The Duchess was joined by her husband and the three teenage hosts of the podcast.

One of the Duchess's topics was the months after she gave birth to Archie Harrison, her first child.

Four months after Meghan Markle gave birth to Archie Harrison, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex immediately went back to do their royal duties.

The couple was off to their first official royal tour with Archie Harrison, a South Africa tour. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle opted to take Archie with them despite the tot’s young age at that time.

In the documentary ‘Harry and Meghan: An African Journey,’ which followed the couple in their tour, Meghan Markle was interviewed on their last day touring.

The interviewer asked the obviously exhausted Duchess if she was feeling okay, which she answered by saying that there were not a lot of people who have asked her if she is ‘okay,’ holding back tears.

Meghan Markle explained during the podcast that it was quite funny that the interview happened a year ago. She explained that she was going back and forth between engagements and taking care of Archie Harrison during that time.

The Duchess compared the exhausting experience with ‘running a marathon,’ Prince Harry interjected, saying that Meghan was also breastfeeding at that time.

Meghan continued to say that she was not really thinking about the answer when she answered the interviewer. Instead, she was just honest and vulnerable.

She confessed that she did not expect her answer to be so relatable to a lot of mothers and that she was just presenting her true self, that she was a brand new mum, and was in the process of learning to keep a balance between work and family.  

The ‘Teenage Therapy’ podcast is available on streaming platforms Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Youtube.
