Meghan Markle & Prince Harry 'Weren't In Great Shape' During Africa Tour, ITV Journalist Tom Bradby Admits
In 2019, ITV journalist Tom Bradby interviewed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and the couple seemingly admitted that they were not in a good place.
Bradby, who followed the couple and their son, Archie, throughout their African tour, asked Meghan if she had been struggling as a new mom and royal. "Yes," she replied.
"Look, any woman especially when they are pregnant you’re really vulnerable and so that was made really challenging, and then when you have a newborn – you know … And especially as a woman, it’s a lot. So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed it’s, well…And, also thank you for asking, because not many people have asked if I’m OK. But it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes," she added.
After that important interview, Bradby said Harry and Meghan's mental health issues affected his own.
I “was clearly influenced by my own experience and I didn’t think they were in great shape, and so I altered the way I was planning to do the documentary," he said in an interview with The Times. “I don’t regret doing that. There may be other times in the future in a whole range of subjects that I will alter my approach if I sense something similar.”
When he was asked why he asked the former actress that candid question, he said, “I felt like there was an untold story there. And I decided to try to bring that side out."
During the interview, Bradby also shared how long Prince William and Prince Harry have been fighting for.
"It used to be quite a straightforward thing, right, because they weren't arguing and life was simple," he said "And then it just slowly descended into something that was difficult — personally and publicly — really over the past year and a half."
