Millions of people tuned in to CBS on March 7 to find out if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will eventually score to settle with Buckingham Palace, having given up frontline duties as royals and moving to Southern California. But there was a twisted plot! The interview was both explosive and enlightening, with revelations that Meghan had had suicidal thoughts when she was five months pregnant.
