Meghan is struggling with life in the spotlight

The 38-year-old revealed how she tried to adopt the Royal Familys stiff upper lip but found it really damaging.

The Duchess of Sussex said her attempt to ignore the media spotlight in the traditional royal manner only caused more unhappiness.

She said: Youve got to thrive, youve got to feel happy. And I think I really tried to adopt the British sensibility of a stiff upper lip.

Ive tried but I think that what that does internally is probably really damaging.

I never thought this would be easy. But I thought it would be fair and thats the part thats really hard to reconcile.

But I do just take each day as it comes.

Harry fears Meghan will face Diana like pressure

Harry was asked if he worried whether Meghan may face the same pressures as his mum, Princess Diana, who died in 1997 in a car crash in Paris.

He said: “I will always protect my family, and now I have a family to protect.

“So everything that she [Diana] went through, and what happened to her, is incredibly important every single day, and that is not me being paranoid, that is just me not wanting a repeat of the past.”

Harry describes staying mentally healthy as a matter of ‘constant management’

The prince described his mental health and the way he deals with the pressures of his life as a matter of “constant management”.

He said: “I thought I was out of the woods and then suddenly it all came back, and this is something that I have to manage.

“Part of this job is putting on a brave face but, for me and my wife, there is a lot of stuff that hurts, especially when the majority of it is untrue.”
