GMB’s resident GP Dr Hilary Jones has spoken of his shock at the interview where Meghan Markle told of her mental health problems within the Royal Family.
Dr Hilary said the couple clearly sought comfort from each other as they were isolated within the family.
But he said the couple supporting each other could have created more of a barrier between them and the family.
Responding to host Piers Morgan’s claims that some of what Meghan said wasn’t true, Dr Hilary said: “Whether her criticisms are justified or not it was real for her.
“She felt that she could not approach anybody in total confidence without the press getting hold of it and talk about the issues that were inside her heart.”
“Whether we believe her or not, it doesn’t matter it was real for her.
“And to express the fact that she had suicidal thoughts and was prevented from getting for help for that it is extraordinary to hear that.”
Piers was responding to claims that Archie doesn’t have a title because of his skin colour – while there are claims the reason is because of standing Royal protocol.
Dr Hilary added: “They probably cried in each other’s arms, they probably felt very marginalised, very isolated.
“What was needed was conciliation.”
He said Oprah listened, and gave the couple the opportunity to explain what had happened.
