“I held her, we talked, she cried, and she cried, and she cried,” Prince Harry recalled in his new docuseries The Me You Can’t See
Prince Harry is opening about Meghan Markle’s “heartbreaking” reaction to the bullying allegations made against her just days before their sit-down with Oprah Winfrey aired in March.
In his new docuseries The Me You Can’t See, which he co-created with Winfrey, the Duke of Sussex, 36, talked about how their interview with Winfrey “was about being real, being authentic and hopefully sharing an experience that we know is incredibly relatable to a lot of people around the world despite our unique privileged position.”
Days before the interview was set to air, The Times in the U.K. claimed that the Duchess of Sussex faced a bullying complaint made by one of her close advisers during her time as a working royal at Kensington Palace — something her office has strongly refuted.
“The Duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma,” a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE at the time.

Recalling the ordeal and the headlines about Meghan before the airing of the Winfrey interview, Harry said in The Me You Can’t See that his wife actually broke down crying one night due to the “combined effort of the firm and the media to smear her.”
