The new documentary also included an interview with Harry’s wife Meghan Markle, who spoke candidly about the pressure of being the newest member of the royal family. Speaking with Bradby, Meghan said that her British friends warned her against becoming involved with Prince Harry knowing the aggressive nature of their country’s media. "In all fairness, I had no idea, which probably sounds difficult to understand and hear,” said Meghan remembering when she and Harry began dating in 2016. “But when I first met my now-husband, my friends were really happy because I was so happy but my British friends said to me, ‘I’m sure he’s great but you shouldn’t do it because the British tabloids will destroy your life.'"Meghan said that at the time she didn’t understand their concern. "And I very naively — I’m American. We don’t have that there — [I said,] ‘What are you talking about? That doesn’t make any sense. I’m not in any tabloids. I didn’t get it. So it’s been, yeah, it’s been complicated."'As brothers you have good days, you have bad days'

Markle added that since becoming a royal she’s attempted to employ the ‘stiff upper lip’ coping mechanism but thinks it has damaging results, admitting that she’s not okay.
