Asked directly by Oprah whether she was considering self-harm and if she had experienced any suicidal thoughts, Meghan replied: "Yes. This was very, very clear.
"Very clear and very scary. I didn't know who to turn to in that."
Nick challenged the caller, asking if she was surprised that Prince Harry wouldn't have sought expert help after seeing his wife in turmoil.
"Am I surprised? No, I'm not surprised," she said Prince Harry "knows the way people are going to react."
