Author Claims Meghan 'Screamed' at Producers and 'Couldn't Stand' Harry During Interview: 'Her Fury...'

Trigger Warning: This article contains themes of suicide that some readers may find distressing.

Meghan Markle had a tough time adjusting to royal life, hence, it’s no surprise that she allegedly had a meltdown when discussing her painful past. Royal author Angela Levin claims Markle once screamed at TV producers after a journalist questioned her about her previously disclosed suicidal thoughts. The incident reportedly occurred following her interview on CBS Sunday Morning in America.

After Harry and Markle left the UK, the couple criticized the royal family in various interviews. One such sit-down was with CBS's Jane Pauley. As reported by OK! magazine, Levin revealed, “After the interview was over, she was apparently screaming to the producers, very, very annoyed at what they had asked her.” She added, “You mustn't do that with Meghan because she's in control. But you could see she couldn't contain her anger, her fury.” The author claimed that although Markle had previously opened up about her suicidal thoughts to Oprah Winfrey, she ‘wasn’t expecting’ to be questioned on it again.

Levin shared that the Duchess also ‘couldn’t stand’ being with her husband, Harry, during the interview. “She would look at him with such harsh eyes and such a terrible expression on her face because she didn't want him to talk, I imagine. He is really lost at the moment...I think that he's in a very, very bad way.” The pair’s emotional conversation with Pauley marked their first shared appearance since 2021. In the interview, they also promoted The Parents' Network, an initiative aiming to support families who lost children to cyberbullying-related suicide.

Markle’s bombshell interview with CBS lifted the lid on her painful past with the royal family. Reflecting on the same, body language expert Judi James revealed to The Mirror that three gestures betrayed her inner feelings. She told the outlet, “She performs several hair-preen rituals and a wry, mirthless smile that suggests she is being politely brave. Her hand goes out to hold Harry's leg as though seeking his support although he sits relatively still with his head cocked, watching her face with what looks like concern.” James also shared her observations on Harry’s reactions, stating, “When he looks down, his fingers rub together in what looks like anxiety as Meghan describes what she has 'overcome' after 'not being believed.’”

The Duchess of Sussex has candidly admitted to contemplating suicide while she was part of the royal family. As per ITV News, when Markle was explicitly asked by Winfrey if she had ever thought of self-harm, she replied, “Yes. This was very, very clear.” She added, “I went to the institution, and I said that I needed to go somewhere to get help…And I was told that I couldn’t, that it wouldn’t be good for the institution.” She also revealed that the royal family offered no support, leading her to seek help from one of Princess Diana’s best friends.
