The Duchess of Sussex has revealed she has struggled privately to cope through pregnancy and the early stages of motherhood amid the pressures of press interest in her public life as a member of the Royal Family.

In an emotional admission to ITV's Tom Bradby on her and Prince Harry's recent 10-day tour of Africa, she said the glare of the intense spotlight - and with it incessant and often negative press coverage from some sections of the media - had made things harder at a time when she was already “really vulnerable”.

Meghan told Bradby it’s a “very real thing to be going through behind the scenes” and replied “yes” when asked if it’s “really been a struggle” and she’s “not really ok”.

News at Ten anchor Bradby was travelling with the royal couple and their son Archie on the recent 10-day tour of Africa for an ITV documentary, Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, which airs on Sunday at 9pm on ITV.

The tour, which ran from the end of September to early October, was notable for the unprecedented statement issued by Prince Harry in which he accused sections of the British tabloid press of pursuing a "ruthless campaign" against his wife.

1. Sometimes the media needs to back off, and remember these are real people

I feel for Prince Harry. I think he has what happened to his mother in the back of his mind. Pursued relentlessly by paparazzi - ultimately leading to her death, and fearful it could repeat itself with his wife.

2. They should stay in Botswana.

They will be respected and left to live in peace.

4. The American Press hounded JFK jr's wife

and made her depressed and miserable and did NOT help the new marriage.
