Meghan spoke about her mental health concerns

She said: "It was a very real and frightening constant thought.

Harry also claimed that he was cut off from his money, and that his father, Prince Charles, stopped taking his calls at one point.

But they had nothing but warmth and affection for the Queen, whom Meghan said she had called to ask after Prince Phillip, and Harry claimed he spoke to more now than when he lived in the UK.
