Meghan Markle has said her son Archie was denied the big family she wanted for him. The Duchess of Sussex has a stepsister and stepbrother from father Thomas Markle’s first marriage, but Meghan recalled feeling alone a lot during her own childhood.
The Duchess, speaking in episode five of the Sussexes’ Netflix series, said: “When I look back at my own childhood, it was great, but I just remember feeling alone a lot.”
Meghan continued: “I just wanted these cousins and these people. I just wanted all of that. And I didn’t have that big family.
“So when I was pregnant with Archie I was just so excited that we are going to be able to create for him that thing I had always wanted.
“So I did just everything I could to make them proud. And to really be part of the family… And the bubble burst.”
