Comparing Megan to Diana
A friend of Meghan’s is sure that the palace was “threatened” by her popularity: “The residents of the palace felt an incredible threat to the popularity of the Duke and Duchess.” It reminds us of something… Harry said: “The problem is when someone who is part of the family and supposed to be a ‘support actor’ gets everyone’s attention and becomes its center or does a better job than one person. born for it, then it makes people sad. It changes the balance.” His words were accompanied by shots of Princess Diana and Charles III.
Meghan’s comparison with Princess Diana continues in the second half of the series. Harry remembered Princess Diana “breaking into tears” on her way to royal events until Charles announced her arrival. “And at this point, you have 30 seconds to wipe your tears, put on some makeup, the door will open and she’ll smile, that’s fine.” Next, a black and white photo of Diana crying sitting next to Charles III at the event is shown, followed by an image of Meghan looking desperate on Memorial Day.
Harry also noted that the announcement that the Duchess of Sussex is pregnant with Lilibet came on Valentine’s Day – the same day Princess Diana and King Henry III met. Charles announced that they were expecting Harry decades ago.
When Harry realized this, he was “shocked. We had no idea, it was just a coincidence… Or maybe it wasn’t a coincidence.”
About suicidal thoughts
Megan said she was haunted by suicidal thoughts: “If I’m not here, all this will stop. And that was the scariest part of them all. It was a very clear thought.” Harry also commented: “I was devastated. I knew she was struggling, we both struggled, but I never thought she’d get to this stage.” Meghan said she wanted to ask for help but was “not allowed”: “They were worried about what it would look like.”

“I did everything I could to make them proud of me and truly be a part of the family. And then the bubble burst,” Megan added.
On the departure of senior members of the royal family
The couple continued to talk about their new thoughts on stepping down as senior members of the royal family. Harry shared that the couple had previously discussed moving to Canada, New Zealand and South Africa.
Harry talked about discussing everything that happened with Elizabeth II: “He knew it was difficult for us. I’ve talked to her about it many times.” She also remembered how she flew to London to meet her grandmother on January 6 when the queen invited her and Meghan to stay. At the time, she had no plans for the whole week. But when the couple landed in Heathrow, They were not allowed to see the Queen because she had “plans for the whole week”, although the Queen told her the opposite. Then she called her grandmother to clarify the situation and allegedly at that moment the queen said to her: “I was told I had been busy all week.” Harry, ” I was like wow.
Meghan commented on the situation: “This is when family and family business clash directly because they don’t let you see the Queen. But what they’re doing is keeping their grandchildren from seeing their grandmother.”

Meghan said: “Imagine a roundtable discussion about your future, when the stakes are very high and you are not invited to sit at the table as a mother, wife and in many ways a target.” Harry added, “I realized they planned this so you wouldn’t be in the room.” Megan nodded at that. Harry claims he was given “five choices” for how involved he and Meghan would be in the family, with the first being “totally no change” and the fifth being “nothing”. He chose the third option – “half in, half out.”
Relationship between Prince Harry and William
Harry recalled the “terrible” moment when Prince William “screamed and got angry” during a family reunion, right after the couple announced they would be leaving the royal family in January 2020: “It was horrible when my brother yelled at me and my dad was saying things that weren’t true and my grandma just sat there silently. And he was accepting of everything.”
Harry also thought about his relationship with his brother and how it affected him: “The saddest part of all this was that there was a gap between me and my brother, so he’s on the side of the organization now. I partially understand. I understand that, right? It’s his legacy. So it’s the responsibility of this organization it is ingrained in it to some extent where it lies in its survival and continuation.
about the turning point
Confronting William’s claims that he had “taken” Meghan from the royal family, he claims the palace’s official statement was made without her consent: “I couldn’t believe it. No one asked me. No one asked my permission to put my name in such a statement.” Harry explained that he had told Meghan about the allegation and that it had “burdened him in tears”.
“For four hours they were happy to lie to protect my brother, but for three years they were never ready to tell the truth to protect us.”
The couple describes this as a turning point where they decided “there is no other way”. Harry remembers saying, “We have to get out of here.”
On whether Prince Harry misses his past life
Prince Harry admitted he misses England and “weird family gatherings”.
She shared her feelings: “I miss the weird family get-togethers where we all get together under the same roof at certain times of the year. Being part of this structure meant I was in the UK. That’s why I miss England, I miss my friends.” The Duke admitted that he “lost a few friends as well.”
On Prince Philip’s death and funeral
The Duke of Sussex spoke touchingly and lovingly about his late grandfather in the last episode of the series. Prince Philip passed away at the age of 99 during the coronavirus pandemic on April 9, 2021. His death shocked the royal family.
Speaking about Prince Philip’s death, Prince Harry said: “I was actually very happy for my grandfather. He left quietly. He left peacefully. He left happy.”
Prince Harry also described his grandfather as “totally arrogant”: “My grandfather was a man of service, honor and a great sense of humor,” said the Duke. “She will be remembered as the longest reigning consort of a monarch, betrothed soldier, prince, and duke. But for me, she was my grandfather. Barbecue master, a legend of banter and arrogance to the end.”
Harry said it was also difficult for him to return to England for his grandfather’s funeral to engage in dialogue with his father and brother. I had to.
“My wife and I are on our way. We’re focused on what’s next.”
