Eugene Levy opens up about ‘avoiding’ Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Eugene Levy has revealed why he steered clear of questions about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during his high-profile sit-down with Prince William at Windsor Castle.
The Canadian actor and comedian joined the Prince of Wales for the October 3 episode of The Reluctant Traveler on Apple TV+.
In a new interview with ITV News released October 2, Levy explained that while he was never instructed to avoid the subject, he chose not to raise it.
“I was not told I couldn’t ask anything, but it wasn’t really up to me to get into that,” Levy said. “I had no interest in asking him about that, because it was a very delicate issue and certainly not up to me to get into it.”
Instead, Levy directed the conversation toward lighter and more meaningful topics. “I think there were other things I could lead the conversation to that might be interesting for him and interesting for the world to hear,” he added.
According to People, the royal brothers’ rift has been widely documented since 2020, when Harry and Meghan stepped back from their senior royal roles.
Tensions have remained visible in the years since.
In the Reluctant Traveler episode, titled Living the Royal Life in the U.K., William spoke candidly about family struggles, including health challenges faced by Kate Middleton and King Charles, as well as his hopes for the future of the monarchy.
As per the outlet, he also opened up about parenting, calling last year “the worst year” of his life but stressing his determination to bring “change for good” when he eventually becomes King.
Speaking separately to CNN, Levy reflected on the conversation’s surprising depth.
“It changes what’s kind of important and he seemed to truly indicate that it did kind of alter his way of thinking,” Levy said.
He added that William’s remarks suggested his reign could take a different direction from previous monarchs: “It might be something the world hasn’t seen.”
