"A friend said: 'I know that you don't look at pictures, but oh my god, you guys look so great' and sent it to me." Meghan then told Oprah that after zooming in to see the picture she saw "the truth of what that moment was," which was that just before the event, she had told Prince Harry that she "didn't want to be alive anymore." She then went on to explain that even though Harry suggested not going to the event she didn't want to "be alone". "Every time those lights went down in that royal box, I was just weeping. "He (Harry) was gripping my hand and it was 'Okay an intermission's coming, the lights are about to come on, everyone's looking at us again' … and you had to just be 'on' again.

"You have no idea what’s going on for someone behind closed doors. You've no idea. "Even the people that smile the biggest smiles and shine the brightest lights, it seems," she told Oprah.– Anyone who needs support should call Samaritans for free on 116 123 (UK and ROI), email jo@samaritans.org or visit the Samaritans website.
