Prince Harry reveals his requests were met with 'total silence' when he asked royal family to help Meghan Markle, says 'I felt completely helpless'

In a new documentary series The Me You Can't See alongside Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry has said that he was met with 'total silence' when he asked his family to help his wife, Meghan Markle after she made him aware of her struggles. The new documentary series is about mental health and released on Apple TV+.

Speaking about the racist articles that were being written about her, Harry said, "Within the first eight days of our relationship being made public was when they said, 'Harry's girl is (almost) straight outta Compton' and that her 'exotic DNA will be thickening the royal blood'." He said that he couldn't bear to lose another woman in his life, and decided to seek help from the royal family because how Meghan was being treated reminded him of the way the press treated his mother, Princess Diana.

"I felt completely helpless," Harry said. "I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met with total silence or total neglect. We spent four years trying to make it work, we did everything we possibly could to stay there doing the role and doing the job. But Meghan was struggling."

After their official split from the British Royal Family and its duties over unbearable media scrutiny and strictures of their roles, the Sussexs - Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, finally got an opportunity to speak their truth. In March, the couple, who is expecting their second child, sat down for a joint interview with Oprah Winfrey since their much-talked-about royal exit.
