Meghan Markle opens up on suicidal thoughts in CBS interview
Meghan Markle gave away a “clue” that revealed “what she was thinking” in her new interview with Prince Harry, a body language expert has claimed.
Today, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex launched a campaign aimed at tackling child safety online, with Meghan revealing she “only scratched the surface” of speaking about her mental health in her now infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
Speaking to CBS's Jane Pauley, the Sussexes announced the Parents' Network with mothers and fathers who have lost their children to suicide due to a lack of safeguarding online.
Meghan said that she hoped discussing her own mental health in 2021 would help others suffering with suicidal thoughts and put her hand on Harry's knee.
Speaking to the Mail, body language expert Judi James explained that this shows how the Duchess is “seeking support” from her husband.

She said: “Their key tactile moment is made more dramatic by their previous 'hands-off' behaviour throughout the interview.
“When the interview focuses on Meghan's own suffering we see her right arm extend as her hand is placed on Harry's leg.
“This gesture could serve more than one purpose. It looks like a seeking for support and strength from Harry as she shares her own experience of 'suicidal ideas'.
“But there is a wariness about Harry's head tilt and the way he watches his wife's face that could mean she uses the touch as a reassuring tie-sign to let him know she's ok here discussing her 'healing journey', despite telling Pauley that 'I wasn't expecting it' but that she would 'take the hit' to help others.”
