 Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son (and soon-to-be big brother!) Archie is enjoying life is California. Archie, who turned 2 earlier this month, made a quick cameo in dad Harry's new AppleTV+ docuseries The Me You Can't See, which the Duke of Sussex co-created with Oprah Winfrey. In the never-before-seen footage, Archie takes a ride in a swing that's hung from a tree branch as Harry swings beside him.  Prince Harry, 36, opened up about his childhood in the series, revealing that his father Prince Charles would tell him to just "play the game" when it came to the difficulties of life in the royal spotlight. "My father used to say to me when I was younger, 'Well, it was like that for me, so it's going to be like that for you,'" Harry said in the mental health series. "That doesn't make sense — just because you suffered, that doesn't mean that your kids have to suffer, in fact quite the opposite. If you suffered, do everything you can to make sure that whatever negative experiences that you had, you can make it right for your kids."  "Isn't this all about breaking the cycle?' he asked. "Isn't this all about making sure that history doesn't repeat itself?" |

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shocked the world last year as they dramatically quit the Royal Family to seek a new independence life in the US. They have recently started opening up about their struggles with being working royals, with Harry recently claiming his brother William and father Prince Charles were "trapped" within the Royal Family, but that he managed to leave. Royal author Penny Junor, who wrote Prince William: The Man Who Will Be King, has since disputed Harry's claims, as she said William is unlikely to feel "trapped" as he is "embracing" his role as future king. She told The Sun: “Harry is absolutely wrong. I don’t think William feels trapped at all. “I think he absolutely gets what his destiny is and he is embracing it. "He is modelling himself on his grandmother the Queen.”  Harry also opened up on feeling "trapped" within the Firm during his interview with Oprah in March, before adding he felt unable to get Meghan help when she felt suicidal. He added he felt "compassion" for his brother William and father Prince Charles being unable to leave their roles, while he could. Harry said: "My father and my brother, they are trapped. They don't get to leave. And I have huge compassion for that." Harry also told Oprah that he felt let down by his father for cutting him off financially and that "there's a lot of hurt that's happened" between them. Harry also told Oprah in his new The Me You Can't See programme that his family did not speak about Diana's death and expected him to handle the press attention and mental distress that came with it. He said: "My father used to say to me when I was younger, he used to say to both William and I, 'Well it was like that for me so it's going to be like that for you'. "That doesn't make sense. Just because you suffered doesn't mean that your kids have to suffer, in fact quite the opposite - if you suffered, do everything you can to make sure that whatever negative experiences you had, that you can make it right for your kids." |

Oprah Winfrey? Never heard of her, claimed Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, in a new interview with The Telegraph. Prince Edward, the son of Queen Elizabeth II and the late Prince Philip, spoke to the outlet about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's very candid interview with Oprah, in which the couple claimed that the royal family did not support Meghan after she asked for mental health help. In the interview, the Duchess of Sussex also alleged that a member of the family made a comment about how "dark" their son, Archie Harrison, would be before his birth. In response to the interview, the royal family said in a statement, "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. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members." When asked about the much-discussed interview by The Telegraph, Prince Edward simply said, "Oprah, who?" Sophie said with a laugh, "What interview?"  Sophie also came to the defense of Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who famously asked Oprah what she did for a living at Harry and Meghan's wedding. "You know, if you're not into chat shows, there's no reason why you should know who she is," Sophie explained. "Certainly not in this country, anyway." Harry and Meghan took a step back from their duties with the royal family in January 2020. They officially exited their roles as senior royals earlier this year. The couple now lives in California and is preparing for the birth of their baby girl. Harry recently reunited with his family at Prince Philip's funeral, which included Prince Edward and Sophie. Sophie said she and Harry had a "lengthy conversation" upon reuniting. Of the couple stepping up their royal duties in the wake of Harry and Meghan's exit, the Countess told The Telegraph, "Inevitably the spotlight and the focus falls on younger members as time goes on. We've plodded along doing what we're doing, hopefully doing it well. And then all of a sudden there's a bit of a hiatus and things have changed a bit. Naturally, the media are looking for people to fill the so-called void. But you know, we have been doing this for what feels like a pretty long time!" Despite the recent drama in the family, Sophie made sure to stress, "We are still a family no matter what happens, we always will be." |
