Prince Harry and Meghan Set the Record Straight

During a CBS interview tonight, Harry and Meghan dispel the myths and rumours of the tabloid coverage surrounding their lives. Meghan told her side of the bridesmaid dress fiasco by saying that the British press reversed the story. It was Meghan that cried and not the Duchess of Cambridge over the issue of the bridesmaid dress, and that Kate apologized for her behavior whilst sending Meghan flowers. Meghan truly believed that she would be protected by the British Monarchy from the British press. In hindsight, Prince Harry saw history repeating itself by referencing his mother's experience with the British press, and he wanted to protect his family from the onslaught.

In essence, Prince Harry and Meghan initially did not have a plan to fully exit the British Monarchy. Rather, Harry saw it as an opportunity to step back and reevaluate his role as a prince, husband, and father. He and Meghan were still willing to work for the British Monarchy, but they wanted the protection and support of the British Monarchy from the British press.

Meghan made an analogy of her time with British Royal Family by referencing the Disney version of The Little Mermaid. When she met her prince, she lost her voice, but in the end gained it back.

Meghan also disclosed that she and Harry had a private wedding ceremony with the Archbishop of Canterbury three days before the royal wedding. On a joint engagement with Queen Elizabeth, Meghan said she received a pearl necklace and earrings from the monarch.

Harry has no regrets about his decision to leave the British Monarchy, and Meghan's only regret is that she believed the British Monarchy would protect her from the British press.
