• In the first episode of his new show The Me You Can’t See, Prince Harry says his family tried to prevent him and Megan from leaving when she was suicidal
• In the candid interview with Oprah, he said he felt trapped at the palace and went through a drinking and drug phase in his 30s
• He said he had to go to therapy and felt like history was repeating itself 

In his new show, The Me You Can’t See, Prince Harry says his family tried to prevent him and Megan from leaving when she was suicidal and admits to drinking and doing drugs in his 30s. 

‘Eventually when I made that decision for my family, I was still told, ‘You can’t do this,’ Harry recounted to Oprah. ‘And it’s like, ‘Well how bad does it have to get until I am allowed to do this?’ She [Markle] was going to end her life. It shouldn’t have to get to that.’

In the candid interview with Oprah, the prince discusses his failure to process the grief from the death of his mother; the helplessness he felt to protect her; his dependence on drugs and alcohol to numb the pain; his anxiety and sense of being trapped in the palace; his family’s refusal to help when Megan felt suicidal and how therapy helped him ‘break the cycle.’ 

‘For me, therapy has equipped me to be able to take on anything,’ he said. 

When asked if he has any regrets, he says it is not taking a stand earlier in his relationship with Markle. 

‘History was repeating itself,’ he said. ‘My mother was chased to her death while she was in a relationship with someone who wasn’t white. And now look what’s happened.

‘It’s incredibly triggering to potentially lose another woman in my life. Like, the list is growing. And it all comes back to the same people, the same business model, the same industry,’ he said.
