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.'"

Prince Harry Honors 'Quiet Heroes' Who Fought California's Devastating Wildfires at Beverly Hills Awards Ceremony
Prince Harry is back in California and honoring those who helped combat the wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year. The Duke of Sussex, 40, returned for the second year in a row to the Living Legends of Aviation ceremony, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Friday, April 25. Harry, who was honored at the 2024 event for his work as an Apache helicopter pilot in Afghanistan during his 10 years in the military, joined Morgan Freeman and others in celebrating the aerial firefighters involved with the wildfires that devastated Los Angeles in January. He and his wife, Meghan Markle, previously contributed to relief efforts by handing out food and supplies as well as meeting with firefighters. During his remarks onstage, Harry honored the first responders who battled the recent fires, saying in part: "There are moments in life that reveal a great deal about who we are — not just as individuals, but as a people. Moments that test our courage, compassion and our commitment to one another. And time and again, what I've seen — what the world sees — is that first responders rise to that challenge every single time, yet we rarely get the chance to thank them." "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," he continued.

Tonight, we celebrate aviation legends — the kind forged in smoke, shaped by teamwork, and defined by the courage to fly into danger when others are told to flee," he said. "This community doesn't ask for attention or recognition. They don't ask for praise. But tonight we're gonna give it to them regardless because in my experience, it's the people who don't expect it or ask for it, that need and appreciate it the most," he concluded.

Last year, Prince Harry teased the Grease star in his speech, joking that he was 'dining out' on his infamous dance with his mother, the late Princess Diana, during a 1985 visit to the White House. "I was one year old when you danced with my mom," Harry said. 'But look at us now, it's great! So if we're not going to dance together, we'll fly together.' The 2025 Living Legends inductees included former Navy SEAL and NASA astronaut Christopher Cassidy, former astronaut and Navy fighter pilot Robert 'Hoot' Gibson, and NBC's lead lead aviation and space correspondent Tom Costello. Prince Harry's outing in Beverly Hills came two days after he and Meghan, 43, stepped out in New York City. The Duchess of Sussex spoke on stage at the TIME100 Summit before the couple unveiled an installation honoring children whose lives were cut short due to the harms of social media. The Lost Screen Memorial featured 50 smartphones displaying the lock screen photo of a child whose life was lost due to the harmful effects of social media. The personal images were shared by parents, who are members of the couple's Archewell Foundation's Parents' Network, to promote the need for safer online spaces. The Duke of Sussex said, "These children were not sick. Their deaths were not inevitable—they were exposed to, and in many cases were pushed harmful content online, the kind any child could encounter. No child should be exploited, groomed, or preyed upon in digital spaces. To the platforms, they may be seen as statistics. To their families, they were cherished and irreplaceable."
