They have since moved to Los Angeles and started creating a new life, increasing their public visibility and engagement with more lovable media figures.
During the Corden segment, in which the couple travels through Los Angeles in an open-top bus, Harry revealed that he has seen “The Crown” – the popular drama that explores a number of reported fractures within the royal family. “I feel much more comfortable with ‘The Crown’ than seeing the stories written about my family, my wife or myself,” he said.
“They’re not pretending to be news, it’s fictional,” Harry added on the show, which his fellow royals generally gag about. “But it’s loosely based on the truth. It’s not quite right, of course, but … it gives you an idea of what that lifestyle is, what the pressure is to put duty and service above family and everything else, what? can come out of that. “
Harry and Meghan are engaged in a long-running war of words and lawsuits involving much of the tabloid media, fighting multiple lawsuits against publications and photo agencies that printed details of their private lives.
Harry: We zoomed in on the queen a few times
Harry told Corden that his life with Meghan in LA will be “a slightly different version, but a continuation of what we were doing in the UK anyway.”
Their statement at the time, which insisted that ‘service is universal’, was read by many as a rejection of the Queen’s rejection of their departure.
“It never walked away. It was stepping back instead of stepping down. It was a very difficult environment,” said Harry, adding that he will never “walk away”, regardless of “any decisions on that side. be taken. “

Harry also discussed his relationship with Meghan and their son Archie, revealing that the child’s first word was “crocodile” and that the Queen sent him a waffle iron for Christmas at Meghan’s request.
As for the couple’s early romance, he said, “Dating me, or any other member of the royal family, I think, is kind of turned upside down. All dates become dinner parties or watching TV or chatting at home. eventually when you become a couple, you venture to dinners, to the cinema and everything else. ”
During the segment, the couple visits the house used in the ’90s Will Smith series’ The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’, where Harry revealed – during a bout of somewhat awkward rapping – that he was the lyrics of the famous show. theme song, before sliding in for a bathroom break.
Corden video calls Meghan on Harry’s phone to jokingly suggest the couple move in. “I think we’ve done enough moving,” she said, dropping her nickname for her husband – “Haz.”
Interest in the couple’s new life is likely to grow after they sit down for a lengthy interview with Winfrey, which is expected to elaborate on the nature of their departure from royal life.
