HIS KEY QUOTES
On leaving the UK: “So I did what any husband and what any father would do, is like, ‘I need to get my family out of here’. But we never walked away. And as far as I’m concerned, whatever decisions are made on that side, I will never walk away. I will always be contributing. But my life is public service, so wherever I am in the world, it’s gonna be the same thing.
On The Crown: “They don’t pretend to be news. It’s fictional. But it’s loosely based on the truth. Of course, it’s not strictly accurate, of course not, but loosely it gives you a rough idea about what that lifestyle, the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that.” On hysterical, most Archie: amazing he’s “He got is the personality. He’s already putting three, four words together, he’s already singing songs.” Asked what Archie’s first word was, Harry said: “Crocodile, three syllables.”

I can’t get my head around it.”
Harry replies: “I don’t even know how to comment on that.
“Archie wakes up in the morning and literally just goes, ‘Waffle?’”
On how the couple relax:
“Depending on how the day’s been, how busy it’s been, we’ll do Archie’s tea, give him a bath, read him a book, put him down. Go downstairs, Meg might cook a meal, might order a takeaway. Go upstairs, sit in bed, turn the TV on and watch some Jeopardy, maybe watch a little bit of Netflix.”
On dating
The Duke of Sussex admitted dating for him and other members of the Firm is “flipped upside down” to ensure whispers of romance are kept out of the public’s eye.
“We got to spend an enormous amount of time just the two of us. There were no distractions, and that was great, it was an amazing thing. We went from zero to 60 in the first two months.”
On pet names
Meghan began speaking to Harry, asking: “Haz, how’s your tour going?” A shocked James says: “I didn’t know we were using pet names?” Harry responds: “Well, you’re not my wife, so...”
