Meghan Markle left her fans crying after she made a heartbreaking admission about her parents’ divorce.
In a resurfaced clip from the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry’s Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, the former Suits star speaks of her parents’ separation.
Meghan got candid about how she experienced her parents’ divorce at the age of 12 and revealed her childhood dream of growing up in a “nuclear family” with a “happy dad and his loving wife.”
“Even though my parents co-parented well, you think about how that informs what you grow up to be and what you want,” the mother-of-two says in the docuseries.
She adds, “It’s so funny when I was 12, I was at Immaculate Heart [a school in Los Angeles], and one of the assignments was to write a poem about your life. And I remember this poem to this day.”
Reading a poem, she continued: “Two houses, two homes, two kitchens, two phones, two couches where I lay, two places that I stay. Moving, moving here and there, from Monday to Friday I’m everywhere.
“Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that bad, but oftentimes it makes me sad. I want to live that nuclear life, with a happy dad and his loving wife.
“A picket fence, a shaggy dog, a fireplace with a burning log, but it’s not real, it’s just a dream, I cannot cry or even scream. So here I sit with cat number three, Life would be easy if there were two of me.”
As per The Express, the clip left many of Meghan’s fans heartbroken as they expressed their sorrow in the comment section of the viral video.
“I started crying because I know how real this was for me when I was a child,” one user wrote while another penned, “This made me cry ’cause this is me.”
Another added, “When I saw this for the first time í cried so hard.”
