Meghan Markle says Prince Harry 'slayed the dragon and saved the Princess'
Meghan opened up on her happiness in her first ever podcast interview as well as the challenges she has faced since joining the Royal Family.
Meghan Markle has opened up on her love for love Prince Harry and says he 'Slayed the Dragon, saved the Princess' for Their Marriage adding, 'That Man Loves Me So Much'.
Speaking of her happiness in her first ever podcast interview as well as the challenges she has faced since joining the Royal Family, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, said: "That man loves me so much. Look what we've built? We have a beautiful life, we have two healthy children.'
Appeared on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, a podcast hosted by the founder of IT Cosmetics, Meghan gave a tearful summary of her life in the public eye.
The mother of Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, said: 'It's not something to be taken for granted when you have a partner, a spouse, who is just so behind you. H, that man loves me so much. Look what we've built? We have a beautiful life, we have two healthy, beautiful children."
She went on to make an analogy of their relationship, adding: "I always think about it like the end of Super Mario Bros. When you get to the final, final level and they go, 'Slay the dragon, save the princess.' I'm like, that's my husband.
"He's constantly going to do whatever he can to make sure that our family is safe and protected, and we're uplifted and still make time for date nights.
'I feel like it's more of a honeymoon period for us now. He's also a fox. If you haven't noticed my husband is very very handsome. His heart is even more beautiful.
Meghan's comparison of their relationship to the Nintendo game comes five years after the couple stepped back from Royal duties in 2020 and moved to Meghan's native California.
She said: 'We spend so much of our life trying to prove something, to prove that you're enough, to prove that you're pretty enough, to prove that you're smart enough, to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend. I was like, I am so done with the prove it game. I know that I'm a great friend, I know the kind of mom I am. I know the kind of human being I am and I know how I show up and I love being that sort of person with the people I love. So, you know, maybe part of worthiness starts when you stop trying to be part of the 'prove it' game..'
Since then, Prince Harry has focused on his philanthropic efforts, including meeting with California firefighters fighting the Pacific Palisades and Altadena wildfires in January 2025.
He returned for a second year in a row to the Living Legends of Aviation ceremony, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Friday, April 25, to honour the fire department in California.
'This past January, when fires swept through over 50 square miles of Los Angeles County — threatening homes, businesses, communities — we saw that spirit in action. We saw courage. We saw commitment. And we saw an extraordinary group of men and women take to the skies, also risking their lives to protect people they would never meet," the Duke of Sussex said.
Yesterday, we told how Meghan revealed the facial feature that prevented her from being offered deals from beauty brands. The Duchess of Sussex has admitted beauty brands were reluctant to hire her even after she found fame in the TV show Suits.
She claims one aspect of her complexion was the cause of their decision to avoid offering her deals. Meghan, 43, starred as Rachel Zane for seven years on the legal series Suits, but prior to hitting it big in entertainment, her commercial agent hit major roadblocks.
The As Ever lifestyle brand founder, who went makeup-free to record the chat, discussed challenges in the beauty industry during an episode of The Jamie Kern Lima Show.
She says companies were not keen because of her natural, freckled complexion.
"That would have been when I was an actor auditioning for commercials," Markle said. "And I remember my commercial agent could not submit me for beauty or skincare ads because I had freckles."
She added, "They're like, 'No, no, no, no. It's just never going to work because freckles aren't a sign of beauty.'"

Gaming fans rush to buy new Nintendo Switch 2 before stock runs out
The console has been highly anticipated by gamers following the release of the original Switch more than eight years ago in March 2017. Dozens of people, some dressed as characters from the Mario games, queued outside Currys in Oxford Street, central London, which opened at midnight for shoppers to claim their console, which the retailer is selling for £395. Zac Young, from Kingston, was the first in the queue to get his hands on the device. It comes as Game cancelled pre-orders just days before release, while several other retailers sold out on launch day following the high demand for the product. Nintendo has reportedly upgraded its expectation of sales by the end of the financial year from 15 million consoles to 20 million. Fans in London hit the shops early on Thursday morning to be able to claim their console on release day. Ray Reyes, 36, a nurse from Lincoln, said: 'I tried to pre-order and it was impossible to actually buy one. 'It just wasn't available online at all. Most of the sites said we had to pop into the store to actually get one. 'I think it's to discourage scalping, where people buy one online and then sell it on for a much higher price of like £600 because there's so much demand.' Mr Reyes is visiting London to see Beyonce in concert with his boyfriend, Joseph Agra, 31, and the couple used the opportunity of being in the capital to buy the console. Mr Agra, who works for a bank in Lincoln, said: 'There's that feeling when you're buying the console on the day of release. It hits a bit different. 'We're going back to the hotel to play it now, I'm quite excited. 'It should be a better overall performance. Although the graphics won't be the same as on a proper console, it should be a massive improvement on the original Switch. 'I'm also excited to see what other developers can do with it now it's out.' Tony Gu, 25, a computer science student who lives in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was another who purchased the console early. He said: 'I've spent almost 2,000 hours playing Splatoon on the original Switch, so I'm excited to buy the Switch 2. 'There was no stock online for pre-orders either in Saudi Arabia or the UK, so I've had to come here in person and buy it here. 'I bought Zelda, but I never played it on the original Switch as the performance was just terrible, so I hope it has improved. 'I also hope the graphics have gotten better. It's a bit frustrating because, in Japan, there's a Japanese-only version which can be as much as 70% cheaper. 'But given that I played Switch for thousands of hours I think it's worth it, but I still wish I didn't have to pay a lot.' Simon Hudson, 44, a software designer from Perth, Australia, who has lived in London for 15 years said he bought two to play with his husband. He said: 'I don't think it's hype bubble. I'm only picking it up today mainly because my husband's got a couple of games he's wanted to play that are coming out today, along with the release, like the new Mario Kart and Rune Factory. 'So he wants to be among the first ones on there. We've been playing that (Rune Factory) for 20 years, but the new version has come out alongside the Switch. So that's the main reason I'm here.' Others have taken to social media to air their frustration. Asked to post a comment about their favourite Nintendo character in order to enter a Currys giveaway for the console on X, one gamer replied: 'Dry Bowser as he is probably as rare as getting hold of a Switch 2 on release day.' Another fan who managed to get hold of their console said: 'My Switch 2 pre-order is arriving right now. I survived the cancellation apocalypse.'
