The former Suits actor also stated that at her “lowest moment,” Prince Harry referred her to a doctor.
Meghan also utilised a number of lines, including one from the American comedy How I Met Your Mother, in which one of the characters, Barney, says, “If she’s this crazy, she has to be this hot.”

The Duchess then discusses tennis player Serena Williams’ “medical gaslighting” experience soon after giving birth. When the former world number one complained of discomfort caused by a blood clot, a nurse allegedly informed her that the medication “might be making her crazy”
She elaborated, “Now Serena has a history of blood clots and she was feeling awful after her C-section. She demanded a CT scan to look for clots and instead a nurse said, I think all this medicine is making you talk crazy. Now of course, Serena Williams knew her body. And she was right.”
