A mutual friend set them up on a blind date at Soho House's Dean Street Townhouse.

In their first sit-down interview as a couple, Meghan told the BBC in 2017 that she knew little about the prince or the royal family before the date.

"Because I'm from the States, you don't grow up with the same understanding of the royal family," she said. "I didn't know much about him, so the only thing that I had asked [our mutual friend] when she said that she wanted to set us up, was, 'Well, is he nice?' Cause if he wasn't kind, it just didn't seem like it would make sense."

In an interview with James Corden on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" in February 2021, Prince Harry recalled how serious the pair got within their first two months of dating. 

"The second date I was starting to think: This is pretty special," Prince Harry told the host.

"Dating with me, or with any member of the royal family I guess, is kind of flipped upside down," he said. "All the dates become dinners or watching the TV or chatting at home. And then eventually, once you become a couple you venture out to dinners, to the cinema, and everything else. So, everything was done back to front with us."

"There were no distractions, and that was great, that was an amazing thing. We went from 0 to 60 like in the first two months," the royal added.

The Sunday Express reported that the country's single prince was dating American actor, philanthropist, and blogger Meghan Markle. A source told the publication that he was "happier than he's been for many years." 

While they still had not publicly announced they were dating, Meghan made headlines when she told The Vancouver Sun in a Q&A that "my cup runneth over, and I'm the luckiest girl in the world!"

While The Star reported that the pair attended a Halloween party in the city, Us Weekly reported that Meghan and Harry stayed put in her apartment all weekend.

People reported that Meghan met Harry's dad, Prince Charles — now King Charles — and that an "engagement was a possibility."

Harry released a statement confirming that he was dating Meghan but slammed the press coverage surrounding her and their relationship. He said that much of the coverage had been sexist and racist, as Meghan is a biracial woman.

The statement said, in part, "Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle's safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her. It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm. He knows commentators will say this is 'the price she has to pay' and that 'this is all part of the game'. He strongly disagrees. This is not a game — it is her life and his."

After reports that Prince William was not happy with Harry's decision to go public about his relationship with Meghan, William disputed the claims and said he was supportive of Harry's decision to speak out about Meghan and the abuse she was receiving in the press. 

"The Duke of Cambridge absolutely understands the situation concerning privacy and supports the need for Prince Harry to support those closest to him," the statement read. 

The Sun shared photos of Meghan and Harry ringing in some holiday cheer by picking out a Christmas tree and seeing the Christmas lights in London. Later, they attended the play "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime."

Prince Harry introduced his girlfriend to his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, and her daughter at the beginning of 2017. Meghan apparently "adored" Charlotte.

Prince George was away at nursery school, so she missed meeting him, The Sun reported. 

Norwegian media reports at the time said they stayed at the luxurious Tromvik Lodge, which gives panoramic views of the Norwegian Sea and the northern lights.

A friend reportedly told The Sun, "Harry wanted to make this first holiday something Meg will never forget."

Meghan announced that she was shutting down her lifestyle blog, "The Tig." Her post was sweet yet vague, so many assumed this meant she and Harry would be getting engaged. But People reported that she was just too busy to keep it up. 

Us Weekly reported the pair were spotted kissing in the parking lot after the annual Audi Polo Challenge in Ascot, England. Harry was participating while Meghan cheered from the sidelines. 

Harry took a three-hour, 100-mile round trip to pick up Meghan and bring her to Pippa Middleton's wedding reception.

Meghan did not attend the ceremony because Pippa had a "no ring, no bring" policy, but the break between the ceremony and the reception allowed Harry to pick her up and bring her later for the "less formal" reception. 

"We're a couple," Meghan said in the October issue of Vanity Fair. "We're in love. I'm sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. This is for us. It's part of what makes it so special, that it's just ours. But we're happy."

She added that they had been "very quietly dating" for six months before reports of the relationship emerged.

After more than a year of dating, Meghan and Harry attended a tennis event during the Invictus Games in Toronto. They were seen holding hands, whispering to each other, and smiling. 

The couple said the proposal happened quite spontaneously. 

"It happened a few weeks ago, earlier this month, here at our cottage; just a standard typical night for us," Prince Harry later told the BBC.

Meghan added, "[We were] trying to roast a chicken and it just — just an amazing surprise, it was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee."

Harry continued, "She didn't even let me finish; she said, 'Can I say yes, can I say yes?' and then were hugs. I had the ring on my finger, and I was like, 'Can I — can I give you the ring?' She goes — 'Oh, yes the ring.'"

The world was delighted when the couple announced their engagement on November 27. 

The news came via a statement from Kensington Palace and Clarence House, and the couple posed for celebratory photos.

The statement also announced they would be getting married on May 19, 2018.

For their first official public engagement, the pair greeted onlookers in Nottingham, England.

Royal fiancés are not typically included in official royal Christmas activities, but Queen Elizabeth invited Meghan to join the family at her Sandringham estate.

"It was fantastic. She really enjoyed it," Harry told BBC Radio 4 in an interview a few days later. "The family loved having her there."

It was also the first time that Meghan was photographed with Prince William and Kate, now the Prince and Princess of Wales.

They traveled all over the United Kingdom and even made a surprise appearance in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in March.

Celebrities, including Oprah, Serena Williams, and Elton John, were invited to the celebrations, while thousands of well-wishers lined the streets to wave at the couple, who arrived at the reception via a horse-drawn carriage.

Meghan's wedding dress was designed by Givenchy, one of her favorite designers. Her veil featured a motif of different embroidered flowers, including the California state flower. Her bouquet contained forget-me-nots, which were Princess Diana's favorite flower.

In a March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan said she and Harry had actually said their vows to each other three days before the wedding at Windsor Castle.

"No one knows that, but we called the archbishop and we just said, 'This thing, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union between us.' So the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury," she said.

The Archbishop of Canterbury later confirmed the couple wasn't legally married until their ceremony at Windsor Castle.

Rather than live in Apartment 1 at Kensington Palace, the couple decided to move slightly further afield from the royal family and settled at Frogmore House.

The couple spent millions of dollars in taxpayer funds renovating the home for their growing family, which they eventually paid back in full by making a contribution to the Sovereign Grant.

During the jam-packed tour, Meghan performed a traditional greeting, the Hongi, with the governor-general of New Zealand, pictured.

The couple also cuddled with koalas in Sydney, met with youth mental health organizations, took part in traditional ceremonies, met foreign leaders, and laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Wellington, New Zealand. 

The couple's appearance at Christmas services temporarily halted rumors that they were on the outs with the royal family, namely Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Though they looked the picture of happiness from the outside looking in, Meghan would later reveal in her tell-all interview with Oprah in March 2021 that just before attending this event at Royal Albert Hall on January 16, 2019, she had expressed concern to Prince Harry over her mental health and not "[wanting] to be alive anymore."

"We had to go to an official event. We had to go to this event at the Royal Albert Hall, and a friend said, 'I know you don't look at pictures, but, oh, my God, you guys look so great...'" she said. "I zoomed in, and what I saw was the truth of what that moment was, because right before we had to leave for that, I had just had that conversation with Harry that morning, and it was the next day that I talked to the institution."

"It was like, 'These are the thoughts that I'm having in the middle of the night that are very clear ... And I'm scared, because this is very real. This isn't some abstract idea. This is methodical, and this is not who I am.' But we had to go to this event, and I remember him saying, 'I don't think you can go.' And I said, 'I can't be left alone,'" she said. 

"And that picture, if you zoom in, what I see is how tightly his knuckles are gripped around mine. You can see the whites of our knuckles, because we are smiling and doing our job, but we're both just trying to hold on. And every time that those lights went down in that royal box, I was just weeping, and he was gripping my hand."

Meghan and Prince Harry broke from royal tradition by skipping the post-birth photo call on the hospital steps. But outside Windsor Castle, Harry gushed to the media about his newborn son and how proud he was of his wife.

"It's been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined," he told the media. "How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension. But we're both absolutely thrilled and so grateful [for] all the love and support from everybody out there. It's been amazing."

They appeared for their photo call with Archie three days later. Archie also did not receive a royal title, and details about his christening or godparents were not released publicly.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted their son to be as normal as possible to begin with, hence no use of the title Earl of Dumbarton," royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said at the time.

However, Meghan told Oprah Winfrey in March 2021 that the decision not to give Archie a royal title was not their own and that he was also refused security upon his birth.

"Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences — a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son," the prince wrote in a statement.

It added, "Though we have continued to put on a brave face—as so many of you can relate to — I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been."

While touring South Africa, the royal couple met with Nelson Mandela's widow, Graca Machel.

Archie accompanied the royal couple on the trip, which took them to Auwal Mosque, the oldest mosque in South Africa, and other famous sites. At the time, Archie was only 6 months old, which made him one of the youngest royals to ever go on a royal tour.

"It was three, maybe four weeks later that I managed to persuade her to come join me in Botswana, and we camped out with each other under the stars," Prince Harry said in the couple's engagement interview. "She came and joined me for five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic."

Meghan's engagement ring features two diamonds from Princess Diana's collection and a center jewel from a conflict-free diamond supplier in Botswana.

When the reports were published, a royal source told CNN that the couple was planning to split their time between the UK and Canada.

Though the royals themselves didn't confirm this report, Markle did speak about how the pressure of constantly being in the public eye was affecting her. 

"Not many people have asked if I'm OK, but it's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes," she told ITV reporter Tom Bradby, CNN reported.

"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen," the statement read. "We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honor our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.

"This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity." 

In the couple's tell-all interview with Oprah, Prince Harry revealed that the primary reasons for their leaving their royal roles were a "lack of support and lack of understanding" from both the media and the royal family.

"It brings me great sadness that it has come to this," the duke said during a private dinner for his charity Sentebale. "I know I haven't always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option."

In an iconic photo taken by photographer Samir Hussein, the pair wore coordinating blue outfits while looking happier than ever. The romantic snap, taken at the 2020 Endeavour Fund Awards in London on March 5, was quickly shared by fans across the internet.

"I've taken many photos I'm really proud of, but in terms of the huge interest in the subjects and the response I've had, this is probably the most iconic photo I've taken," Hussein said in a statement.

It was the first and final official engagement the "Fab Four" — the nickname given to the two royal couples — participated in after Meghan and Harry announced they would be stepping back from their royal duties.

Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator, told Business Insider that the interactions between the couples, or lack thereof, were visibly "frosty." The couples acted noticeably cold to one another, barely making eye contact or speaking to one another, despite being seated just one row apart.

On April 20, Prince Harry and Meghan announced they would no longer engage with or respond to inquiries from journalists from the Sun, the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror, and the Daily Express, explaining they no longer wished to "offer themselves up as currency for an economy of clickbait and distortion."

That same month, they also announced their plans to launch a non-profit, Archewell, named after their son.

Vogue reported that the pair settled in the private and exclusive neighborhood of Montecito. The publication also reported that, according to property records, the royal couple bought their 14,500-square-foot home for $14.65 million.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into their family home in July of this year," a spokesperson for the couple confirmed to Business Insider in August 2020.

"They have settled into the quiet privacy of their community since their arrival and hope that this will be respected for their neighbors, as well as for them as a family."

Harry and Meghan planted forget-me-nots, which is widely known as Princess Diana's favorite flower, alongside children at the Preschool Learning Center in Los Angeles, which provides support to local low-income families.

Princess Diana died more than 23 years ago, on August 31, 1997, from injuries sustained after a car crash in Paris. Prince Harry has been vocal about the impact his mother's death had on him and receiving therapy to help process his grief.

The New York Times reported that the couple plans to produce documentaries, docuseries, feature films, scripted television shows, and children's programming under their new business. 

"Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope," Harry and Meghan told the outlet. "As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us."

In a New York Times essay titled "The Losses We Share," Meghan opened up about the "unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few" she had after having a miscarriage over the summer. 

"I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second," she wrote. "Hours later, I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband's hand. I felt the clamminess of his palm and kissed his knuckles, wet from both our tears. Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over. I tried to imagine how we'd heal."

In the same month the couple sent out their family Christmas card — which was not shared publicly — they also won one of their first legal battles over paparazzi pics of their son, Archie.

"As explained in today's hearing, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have successfully settled a legal claim brought at the beginning of this year against the paparazzi agency Splash UK," a spokesperson for Schillings, the legal representation for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, said in a statement to Town & Country.

"After two long years of pursuing litigation, I am grateful to the courts for holding Associated Newspapers and the Mail on Sunday to account for their illegal and dehumanizing practiced," she wrote in a statement.

"These tactics (and those of their sister publications MailOnline and the Daily Mail) are not new; in fact, they've been going on for far too long without consequence. For these outlets, it's a game. For me and so many others, it's real life, real relationships, and very real sadness. The damage they have done and continue to do runs deep," she continued.

In the statement, she thanked Harry and others for their support.

At the time, a newspaper spokesperson told Business Insider, "We are very surprised by today's summary judgment and disappointed at being denied the chance to have all the evidence heard and tested in open court at a full trial."

"We are carefully considering the judgment's contents and will decide in due course whether to lodge an appeal," the spokesperson added.

The news that Meghan and Harry were expecting their second child was first reported by People and later confirmed in a statement to Business Insider. 

"We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child," a spokesperson for the couple said.

In Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah, the couple revealed they were expecting a girl, due in the summer.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed to Her Majesty The Queen that they will not be returning as working members of The Royal Family," Buckingham Palace said in a statement. "While all are saddened by their decision, The Duke and Duchess remain much-loved members of the family."

In addition to losing their involvement with numerous UK charities and patronages, Prince Harry will lose his honorary military appointments with The Royal Marines, the RAF Honington, and the Royal Navy Small Ships and Diving.

People reported that the couple will retain their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles and will still be referred to as His/Her Royal Highness, though they do not actively use either of their titles.

In a statement released by Prince Harry and Meghan, the couple said they "remain committed to their duty and service to the UK and around the world, and have offered their continued support to the organizations they have represented regardless of official role."

"We can all live a life of service. Service is universal," they concluded.

On March 7, Prince Harry and Meghan's first sit-down interview since leaving the royal family, titled "Oprah with Meghan And Harry: A Primetime Special," aired on CBS in the US. The next day, the special interview aired in the UK.

The couple talked about everything from parenthood to life after leaving the royal family and the pressure they faced prior to doing so. 

In one part of the interview, Prince Harry compared himself to his mother, Princess Diana, and discussed the struggles they both faced as members of the royal family.

"For me, I'm just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side because I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like for [Diana] going through this process by herself all those years ago," he said in the interview. "Because it has been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we have each other."

Markle also opened up about how she was "naive" before entering the royal family, her struggle with mental health while serving as a senior royal, and "concerns" from the royal family about "how dark [Archie's] skin might be."

In response to the interview, Buckingham Palace in a statement on behalf of the Queen that "the whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan."

"The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately," it continued.

Meghan had intended to travel to the UK with her husband to attend Prince Philip's funeral but was not given clearance to fly because of her pregnancy.

Prince Philip died, age 99, on April 9.

"My grandfather was a man of service, honor and great humor," Prince Harry said in a statement sent to Business Insider. "He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit, and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm—and also because you never knew what he might say next."

"He will be remembered as the longest reigning consort to the Monarch, a decorated serviceman, a Prince and a Duke. But to me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa," Prince Harry continued.

He also called the late royal a "master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right 'til the end."

"Meghan, Archie, and I (as well as your future great-granddaughter) will always hold a special place for you in our hearts," he added.

Prince William and Kate Middleton wed on April 29, 2011.

People reported that Meghan and Harry privately congratulated the couple on the milestone. Queen Elizabeth also publicly congratulated the couple on social media.

Three years after their Windsor Castle royal wedding, Prince Harry and Meghan celebrated the milestone at their new home in Santa Barbara, California.

The couple released an official statement announcing that Lilibet "Lili" Diana was born on Friday, June 4, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California. 

"She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home," the statement read. 

The name "Lilibet" is the royal family's longtime nickname for Queen Elizabeth, but the couple will call their daughter Lili for short. 

"Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet," the couple said. "Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales."

It's traditional for most royal births to have an announcement posted outside Buckingham Palace (pictured). However, the birth of Lilibet Diana was much more subdued, with the couple releasing a statement on their Archewell website.

"It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world," the statement read.

"She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we've felt from across the globe," the couple said. "Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family."

Unlike when Markle gave birth to Archie, there was no official photo call with the press.

The children's book spoke about the relationship between a father and son from the perspective of a mother. The book featured illustrations by Christian Robinson and became a New York Times bestseller within a week of its release.

Prince Harry could be seen placing his hand on Markle's leg during a volleyball game. Meghan also wore jeans, a far cry from the more dressed-up style she had as a working royal.

"Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are excited and honored to attend The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June with their children," the spokesperson said in a statement shared with Business Insider.

However, while the couple and their two children planned to attend the 70th-anniversary celebration of the Queen's reign, Prince Harry and Meghan announced they would not join the Queen on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the Trooping the Colour parade alongside other members of the royal family.

Prince Harry and Meghan were married four years ago on May 19, 2018. Here are some photos of what other royal couples looked like when they first started dating versus now.

The royal couple was spotted at the Trooping the Colour parade, which celebrated Queen Elizabeth's historic 70-year reign. However, they did not appear alongside other members of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. 

Following a thanksgiving service at St. Paul's Cathedral, which they attended along with Prince William and Kate Middleton, the couple could be seen being booed by fans as they exited. They did not attend a royal luncheon following the service, The Mirror reported.

Prince Harry and Meghan celebrated their daughter Lilibet's first birthday during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in London.

A spokesperson for the royal couple told Page Six that Lilibet's birthday party was a "casual, intimate backyard picnic" for "close friends and family" at Frogmore Cottage, the couple's previous residence.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were reportedly invited to the family affair but didn't attend due to a planned trip to Wales. Lilibet was introduced to her namesake, Queen Elizabeth, following the Trooping the Colour parade.

"It's simply a coincidence they fell on the same day," a source told Entertainment Tonight. "There was no intended slight."

Representatives for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince William, and Middleton did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.

Meghan said she was teaching her son, Archie, that the polite way to pass salt and pepper shakers across a table is by holding them together. She then told the outlet that this reminded her of the way she and Prince Harry are navigating their new life together in Montecito, California. 

"'You never move one without the other,'" she told The Cut. "That's me and Harry. We're like salt and pepper. We always move together."

Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully at Balmoral Castle on September 8, 2022. Her eldest son, King Charles, immediately ascended to the throne following her death.

Prince Harry, Meghan, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other members of the royal family attended her funeral on September 19. Some 2,000 people also gathered at Westminster Abbey to pay their respects to the Queen.

The couple's new documentary series, "Harry & Meghan," consisted of six episodes and was released on Netflix on December 8. The trailer for the series featured interviews with the couple and behind-the-scenes photos from their royal life. It promised to give an in-depth, personal look at their decision to "step back" from royal life.

"When the stakes are this high, doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?" Markle asks in the trailer.

"I had to do everything I could to protect my family," Harry says during an interview. 

The title of the book reflects Harry's position as the "spare" in relation to his older brother, William, the heir to the throne, and his unlikely path to kingship. In the book, Harry discussed his complex relationship with William, describing him as both a "beloved brother" and an "arch nemesis."

The tell-all memoir also detailed his relationship with Markle, including concerns that his sister-in-law Kate Middleton was "going to be compared to, and forced to compete with, Meg." 

Reports emerged in June 2023 that Markle and Harry had ended their partnership with Spotify and would no longer produce content on the platform.

Reports also said that Meghan and Harry would not receive the full $20 million payout from their Spotify deal. 

"The podcast will no longer be produced at Spotify as we are mutually parting ways," a spokesperson for Archewell Audio, the couple's production company, told Business Insider.

In February 2024, Meghan announced that she had signed a new partnership with Lemonada Media, Deadline reported.

The tabloid Radar Online originally reported that the couple was facing "tremendous financial pressure" and a "trial separation" after the end of their Spotify deal, citing an unnamed source who said "that stress coupled with their emotional issues has likely made life a living hell. Taking time apart on different continents will hopefully help them find whatever they need to move on."

However, Page Six disputed the rumors, citing a source close to the couple who said, "It's not true. It's literally made up."

The pair attended a basketball game during the Invictus Games and a Beyoncé concert at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, dispelling speculation that the couple had separated.

The couple, wearing matching silver outfits, was spotted dancing together and kissing in a private box at the concert. 

The New York Post reported that, according to a trademark application filed by Meghan's lawyers and reviewed by the outlet, Meghan's new brand will sell tableware, drinkware, kitchen linens, jams, marmalade, cookbooks, and other products. 

Tatler also reported in June 2024 that the first product available for purchase by the public will be rosé wine. Meghan joins a long list of celebrities who have their own alcohol brands. 

"These trips are about us being able to go out and go and focus on the things that mean so much to us," Meghan, who recently found out she is part-Nigerian, told People. "And being able to be on the ground, to us, is what it's all about."

People reported that Nigeria's chief of defense staff, General Christopher Musa, invited the couple to visit the country. The trip was not meant to compensate for other royal family members stepping back from public duties — both King Charles and Kate Middleton were battling cancer. Kate is now cancer-free and plans to resume public work next year.

People reported that the couple had not received invitations from Harry's family to attend the annual event, which celebrated King Charles' second birthday as monarch. 

"I was thinking about, in the past few years of having Thanksgiving here, like many of us, I think you always make sure there's room at the table for your friends who don't have family, which is really key," Meghan told Marie Claire in a recent interview.

"We're always making sure we have something fun to do," she said. "Like any other family, you spend time having a great meal, and then what do you do? Play games, all the same stuff, someone brings a guitar — fun."

In a conversation with New York Times columnist and DealBook founder Andrew Ross Sorkin during a panel at the 2024 DealBook Summit hosted by The New York Times, Harry joked about the constant reports and attention he and his wife receive from the press — positive and negative. 

"Apparently we've bought or moved house 10, 12 times. We've apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well," he said, laughing, People reported. "So it's just like, 'what?'"

"It's hard to keep up with, but that's why you just sort of ignore it. The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls," he continued. "Their hopes are just built and built, and it's like, 'Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,' and then it doesn't happen. So I feel sorry for them. Genuinely, I do."

Harry also said that he enjoys his life in the US and doesn't regret leaving the UK, adding it's what he believes his mother, Princess Diana, would have wanted for him. 

 "I very much enjoy living here and bringing up my kids here. It's a part of my life that I never thought that I was gonna live," he told Sorkin. 

"I feel as though it's the life that my mom wanted for me," he continued. "To be able to do the things I'm able to do with my kids that I undoubtedly wouldn't be able to do in the UK — it's huge. I'm hugely grateful for that."
