In a sneak peek of the show London-born businesswoman Emma, responsible for the brand Good American, sits down to have a chat with Meghan where they touch on the recording, as reported by the Mirror.

Emma, founding partner of Kim Kardashian's Skims label, shared her excitement: "We maybe watched it like 20 times yesterday, and I was like, is that, is that her? Is that Prince Harry there with the fingers...I was like, okay...good on Harry, let's go. But that's you, right? Like that's you in a way that we kind of haven't been able to see you before.
"And I did like a little secret cheer, cause I was like, well, that's what I kind of want to see from you. Like I wanna see that happiness and that honesty and that 'I don't give a f***' kind of thing."
Breaking her silence, Meghan spoke about the footage, stating: "That was four years ago. So it's also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life - a real, authentic, fun life - that's happening behind the scenes.
"I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms."

Alongside Jason Mraz's song Have It All, the Instagram video showcased Harry in a sweet family moment. Meghan expressed her adoration for her husband with a simple but powerful caption: "The best," alongside, "Happy Father's Day to our favourite guy."
The montage featured snapshots and clips of Harry laughing and dancing as he enjoying precious moments with his children over the years. The post came as somewhat of a u-turn for the couple, who have previously chosen to keep their kids faces out of the public spotlight.
The Duchess made her comeback to social media earlier this year, and frequently posts about personal achievements and professional news on her Instagram account.

Bec Judd offers to sell her luxe Melbourne mansion for a staggering $70m
Bec Judd has named the price it would take to sell her family home in Melbourne's Brighton. The AFL WAG took to social media on Sunday to share an image from the lavish property she shares with husband Chris, and their four children. In the accompanying caption, the 42-year-old revealed the eye-watering amount it would take her family to relocate from the desirable bayside property. 'No, we are not selling. But if somebody wants to pay 10 times market rates, then sure, it's all yours,' she wrote. Bec and Chris moved into the $7.3million mansion in December 2019. They have since conducted extensive renovation work on the property, increasing its value, including installing an extra bedroom and rumpus room. The power couple originally purchased the sprawling house in March 2018, and commenced a complete makeover before moving in. A gallery of photos shared to Instagram showed the backyard pool area under construction. After building was completed, the space was transformed into an entertainment oasis, with rendered rock, a magnesium pool and an outdoor kitchen. Other improvements on the lavish property include replacing the mansion's aesthetic and apricot colour palette with stylish greys and blacks, adding modern touches like gold brass fittings, marble and steel doors. The couple kept the home's defining architectural feature, its arches, and used this shape as a theme throughout the interior. Also inside the home is a gym, and a wet bar complete with a snooker table. Highlights include an ensuite bathroom featuring a giant arch-shaped mirror that reflects the Spanish colonial architecture. The influencer's fondness for gold brass fittings, black frames and marble continues in the bathrooms. 'No, we are not selling. But if somebody wants to pay 10 times market rates, then sure, it's all yours,' she wrote Bec and Chris share four children; daughter Billie, 11, son Oscar, 14, and twins Darcy and Tom, nine. It follows reports the pair sold their beautiful renovated Mornington Peninsula property, which was listed on the market for $2.85million to $3million. In May, Bec and Chris finalised the sale of the stunning property for an undisclosed sum. Marshall White Stonnington director Ben Veith oversaw the sale and told the Judds were happy with the process, labelling it a 'good result'. He added Bec had had significant input into the renovation process of the beloved property: 'This was genuinely designed by Bec, and it speaks for itself.' They first purchased the Arthur's Seat property in 2016 and spent several years turning the 1970s-built brick house into a family retreat, with the help of The Melbourne Builder & Co.
