Wow the comments here. The lack of empathy is real.

[clairerocks]

She seems so sad. The media are too mean.

[ekaterinacox]

Ask first how the british people are feeling when you being a royal are impossing your political views on them, ask how the poor of the poorest in the UK are feeling, the disabled, the downtrodden, the outcast, people who struggle to feed their

I feel that she wants to say more but she can't, kinda like scream for help. She
"It's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes" hmmm what could that be?
She should have done her research on princess Diana before getting married to prince Harry.

[kevinosterman]

Excuse me? She was a C class actress, divorced that married a British prince and moved to the palace. She doesn’t have to file taxes. Has a beautiful baby, whats so hard for you?

[yelena]

She was a coddled child, a wealthy American actress, world traveler, divorcée, ... Now pushing 40, married to a Prince w child. She’s given as much free help.. medical, housing, travel and guidance as needed. Get over it. First world Royal problems. 🎻

[deborahw]

She doesn't really know what to say.. don't know why she doesn't just say they had a surrogate.. there's no shame in it..

[justcece]

This kind of constant scrutiny and backlash would be tough for anyone to go through. Just horrible!

[inamina]

The way she looked when she said "Not many people asked if I'm okay." It had a bit of a "in your face, royal family"-moment like "I say what I want to say regardless of the consequences. That serves them right."

In my opinion, the documentary is the exact opposite thing to do, when seeking for privacy and a calm life.

If a 93 year old woman can be queen. She can do it. Enough of her complaining. Feeling a victim. Hell the queen served in WW2.

[jessinagray]

When Thomas Markle and the half siblings decided to launch a campaign with the media to attack her, it opened all the flood gates of the media!

[sunnyangel]

listen I understand where she is coming from and I feel for her. However, everything comes at a price. This constant spotlight is the price you pay for a life of extreme comfort (that, in my opinion, is not hard earned). If it's too much, they could always step back from public life. But you can't have the jet set life, glamorous dresses, hundreds of people waiting on you without giving up something. You can't just constantly blame the media and the public. A doctor gets paid hundreds of thousands because they sacrificed years for their studies, a firefighter is highly paid because they risk their life. You are highly paid because you are a figurehead and yes, dealing with the press is a pain and you are risking your privacy. Without them, there would be no reason for your position and titles. Accept the privilege you are given and use your position to really benefit humanity. More than a royal tour every now and then. If not, abdicate, live a life in the countryside without all the trappings. I can sympathize but it is hard to pity you. I doubt this is how the Queen feels, she lived through ww2 and knows exactly how lucky she is to have her position.

I hope she doesn't let the vile, nasty people get to her. Take refuge in your husband Meghan.

Where has all the make-up gone? The darker foundation, the terribly applied blush, the false eyelashes that she wore everywhere else on her SA trip. Trying not to look glamorous? All of this is so scripted. It's a struggle being a newly wed? She's been married before, twice, she should know what to expect in a new marriage. She's closer to 40 than 20, but playing the 'woe me' card. Let's not forget MM is an actress who can no doubt cry 'on demand'. Kate had her fair share of bullying from the Press being labelled 'Waity Katie', she didn't go crying to the media. She held her head high and got on with the job. And that was even before marrying into this family. M & H have bought it on themselves. Marry in haste, repent in leisure. This SA trip was not about SA, it was to produce a documentary on these two, at least now we know why it wasn't an Official Royal Tour. An absolute disgrace.

[Alenaholcakova]

Oh, poor girl. Best acting performance in her career. God, is this someone eating her? She should think about how she treats her surroundings.

[voteyourconscience]

She's realizing she'll never have a regular mom life. Taking your kids to school, play dates, shopping for your family, she's American for God's sakes she's missing her old life. And this on top of being with that God forsaken family..I'm pretty sure they never ask if she is ok

[finch]

Hell im a female was in the military had 2 children while serving and never once bitched or griped! Be a human being not a celebrity attempting to gain sympathy from those who pay YOUR bills!

[huehue]

That's part of life and motherhood. She is very fortunate than most moms and single moms out there struggling to get by. She should concluded with a message on how greatful she is having a loving and emotionally supportive husband like Harry and a healthy baby. She should embrace all the goods and the bads that are happening around her. Be a role model for all the struggling moms out there trying to put food on the table and a roof over their head. No one ask those moms and their family that are suffering from domestic violence in house if they are ok. Just be greatful!!

[andreasavanna]

Look up some of her scenes where she’s trying to stop crying. I felt bad for her at first and then I remembered that she was an actress and I didn’t feel bad any longer.

Why in all the world should anyone care how Megan is "feeling" when she has everything and everyone at her disposal; for God's sake, woman, save the whining and crying for those who truly deserve the public's sympathy & pity - the poor, the down-trodden, the homeless, the infirm - WHERE in this lot, Megan, are YOU???
