Speaking on Australia’s The Sunday Project last weekend, the 39-year-old was questioned on her thoughts surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and whether she could empathise with the couple.
“I think everyone has their own journey. I think their journey is extremely personal, with what [ Harry’s] mother experienced and how her life was so affected by the spotlight and by paparazzi,” Kim responded.
“I don’t think anyone can really understand what that’s like except for them. But I think as I’m older and as I have kids, and what I would want for them is just the safest place.
“I can definitely empathise with their need for having a secure, safe place and taking time for themselves and having privacy when they need it.”
During last month’s documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, Meghan opened up about the private struggles she’s been facing since becoming a mother to the couple’s son, Archie, six months.
“Look, any woman especially when they are pregnant you’re really vulnerable and so that was made really challenging, and then when you have a new born – you know… And especially as a woman, it’s a lot.
“So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mum or trying to be a newlywed it’s, well…
“Also, thank you for asking, because not many people have asked if I’m OK. But it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes.”
