After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle talked about their time as Royals and made shocking revelations in an interview with Oprah, the internet was split in two. Now we’ve spoken exclusively with TV stars and here’s how they responded.
The Duchess of Sussex and Hollywood star Meghan Markle recently spoke up about her troubles when she was an active member of the British royal family. As soon as she revealed her agony, the explosive statements against the British Royal Family took the internet by storm. Meghan shared how she faced serious racism during her first pregnancy and that the royal monarchy was also denied any kind of security to her and her husband, Prince Harry.
She also added that all the low living conditions pushed her to a pivotal point in her life where she faced serious mental health problems and was also thinking about suicide. Markle had further added that despite repeated requests, the royal family refused to allow her any kind of assistance to support her mental health, stating that this would sabotage the family’s elite reputation.
This entire saga has split the internet in two. Some of the internet users supported Meghan and praised her common sense, the rest left no stone unturned by labeling her allegations as an act to garner her fame for just two minutes.
We came into contact with some television stars, who resolutely expressed their views on the most heated fiasco of 2021.

‘I don’t think it’s against the royal family, but it’s against racism and then the whole stigma surrounding suicidal ideation. To get to the second point first, why do we say that the person who committed suicide was weak, he / she should have fought and if not. Why don’t we prefer to tackle the problem? It is not that only human fingerprints are unique, but also the human mentality is unique. Each of us is different, we think differently, we react differently. We have recently seen so many colleagues in our industry alone have succumbed to such thoughts. With members of the royal family speaking openly about suicidal thoughts, I think it will go a long way in destigmatizing mental health issues, especially in cases where it pushes individuals to the brink of suicidal thoughts. Now that we get to the first point, racism is something the Royals have been wearing under their royal capes for centuries. We have first-hand experience of it from the 16th century when the East India Company first set foot on the subcontinental territory. Remember, we used to watch TV shows and movies with the adage ‘Dogs and Indians are not allowed’. I was shocked when Meghan revealed on the show that the Royal Family discussed the color of the unborn baby’s skin. This just shows the level of hypocrisy that reigns in the otherwise splendor and glamorous royal family. Imagine pushing them so far that the couple had to leave the UK. Personally, I think that racism has no place in the world. I am happy that in India we worship Goddess Kali, Lord Ram and Lord Krishna. We celebrate every color. Maybe it is time for the English to learn some lessons from Indian culture. This interview reminded me of Princess Diana’s interview, which was equally shocking in nature. Things like this help us the common people to understand that the royal family is just as prone to human prejudice as we are all. At the same time, I think this will usher in a new era in the still-Victorian mindset of the UK Royals. “

“Modernity and scientific progress have nothing to do with the decline in racism or psychological abuse. We humans have and will always function in a way that aims to prove ourselves superior. More prestige also always means that the fear of losing everything is at its peak. When fear becomes the basis of functioning, everything is a possibility. Modernization and advancement in technology has nothing to do with the basic conditioning of the human mind. These things will always prevail, especially when it comes to the privileged and the prestigious destiny, because the fear of losing everything makes them operate out of basic fear and less out of human compassion. “

“Such issues are more prevalent in the world’s prestigious families. There are greater stakes and the media controlled around them, so most of the problems are pushed under the rug and eventually it turns into a chronic disease. Such issues should be addressed from the outset and status in society should not be given as much importance as compared to the living people in the royal family. “

“Well when it comes to mental health it’s the most important thing for everyone and when we talk about mental health I don’t think it’s about rich or poor, if something goes wrong it can affect anyone regardless of his or her financial status, because if you are not happy in any place or with whatever issue in life, if you are not mentally stable then even one thing will not be good for you. Mental health is a very important aspect in everyone’s life, so I feel “mentally thik rehna, mentally khush rehna important hai. I think agar ape mentally thik ho toh aapke paas paisa ho ya nahi ho, koi bhi cheez ho ya nahi ho, you can adapt “So I think it has nothing to do with the royal family or nothing to do with it with all opinions surrounding it. Mental health problems can affect anyone and it is very important to take care of them. When it comes to people around us, it is very important that we support and assist our loved ones. If someone has turned to you for help, I think you should do your part and be there for him instead of judging him Over the years I have realized that the most important thing is to be mentally happy and mentally stable and once that is taken care of then you have all settled. “

“Well, I feel Meghan made a bold choice to openly express what she saw as a member of the Royal Family and it is my deep desire to see the change this can bring about. It is also extremely unfair of people to call her as a modern working woman a home breaker, I strongly believe that the responsibility of keeping it together does not lie solely with a woman. “
