Markle continued, “So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed. It’s um… yeah. I guess, also thank you for asking because not many people have asked if I’m OK. But it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes.”

As previously reported, the Duke of Sussex has called out “British tabloid media” for the “ruthless campaign” against his wife “that has escalated over the past year.”
“Unfortunately, my wife [Duchess of Sussex] has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences – a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son,” Prince Harry explained in a statement shared on the SussexOfficial website.
