The Duchess of Sussex has shared exactly what attracted her to Prince Harry in a candid new interview.
In her first magazine cover since joining the Royal Family, Meghan has taken part in a huge Harper’s Bazaar photoshoot, plumping for a powerful bare-faced look for the glossy snaps.
In the sit-down chat, Meghan gave rare insight into the dynamic of her marriage, the realities of running her lifestyle business, As Ever, and parenting Archie and Lilibet in sunny Monecito. She even explores the “mistakes” she’s made since self-exiling from royal life and moving back to the States with her family.
But it’s her revelations about Harry that really set tongues wagging. In her most personal admission about her husband yet, Meghan revealed she was captivated by the Duke’s “childlike wonder and playfulness” when they first met.

“He loves me so boldly, fully, and he also has a different perspective because he sees media that I wouldn’t,” Meghan said. “No one in the world loves me more than him, so I know he’s always going to make sure that he has my back… you have someone who just has this childlike wonder and playfulness. I was so drawn to that, and he brought that out in me. That’s translated into every part of our life.”
The former Suits actress, who also unveiled the trailer for the festive episode of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, this week, also provided a glimpse into motherhood with young kids, the Express reports.
Meghan and Harry, who quit their roles as senior royals and relocated to California in 2020, share two youngsters, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four. The Duchess shared: “My office is right by the kitchen, and I love that I can work from home. It’s a great luxury. (Lilibet) comes and sits on my lap when I’m in the middle of the meeting, whether it’s about profit and loss for my brand or it’s about something creative.”
Meghan also revealed her boundaries became more robust when she entered the public eye. “You find different ways to protect yourself, whether that’s self-preservation or it’s just growing up,” she told the magazine.
She also admitted that she allows herself some grace when she makes business mistakes, although she didn’t go into detail about what these might have been.
Meghan added: “I’m a mum with kids at that age where they are constantly learning something new. I watch them face things that feel completely insurmountable every day. But you can remember and say, ‘I know it seems really hard right now, but trust me, that’s going to come so easily soon.'”.
“I can give myself the same grace as a founder. There’s no such thing as perfect. I, too, get to make mistakes.”
