Prince Harry has claimed that the Royal Family showed "total neglect" for his wife Meghan Markle's mental health.
The Duke of Sussex made the revelation in a series of interviews with Oprah Winfrey on his new AppleTV+ show titled The Me You Can't See.
In the five-part mental health series, Harry opened up about his family's response to Meghan's "struggling" mental state when the pair lived at the palace as senior members of the royal family.
Meghan famously revealed the lack of support she received from not only Harry's family but royal aides who worked at the palace during her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March.
The Duchess of Sussex revealed she was feeling suicidal and after reaching out for help, she claimed she was told that nothing can be done.
Now Harry has spoken out about his wife's experience, saying that his family showed "total neglect" for Meghan's health, per Sky News.
Admitting that he felt abandoned by his relatives, Harry revealed that this was one of their "biggest reasons" for leaving for California last year.
He told Oprah: "Certainly now I will never be bullied into silence. I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met with total silence, total neglect.
"We spent four years trying to make it work. We did everything that we possibly could to stay there and carry on doing the role and doing the job. But Meghan was struggling."
He added: "That feeling of being trapped within the family, there was no option to leave. Eventually, when I made that decision for my family, I was still told, 'You can't do this', And it's like, 'Well how bad does it have to get until I am allowed to do this?'. She [Meghan] was going to end her life. It shouldn't have to get to that."
Harry then mentioned that Meghan even described how she would end her life while pregnant with son Archie in 2019.
He told Oprah: "The thing that stopped her from seeing it through was how unfair it would be on me after everything that had happened to my mum and to be in a position of losing another woman in my life with a baby inside of her, our baby."
Speaking to Oprah in March, Meghan revealed just how much she was struggling mentally during her time at the palace.
During the interview, Meghan - who is currently pregnant with the pair's second child - spoke honestly about her mental health and said she had suicidal thoughts during her time in the royal family.
She told Oprah she "didn't want to be alive anymore" and when asked directly if she was thinking of self-harm and having suicidal thoughts at some stage, Meghan replied "yes". She says Harry "cradled her" when she told him, and he later admitted it sent him to a "dark place".
