Meghan Markle has shared her top tips for a happy and successful marriage in a touching moment with a royal fan.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, appeared to reflect on her own relationship with Prince Harry in a video filmed by a fan during their joint trip to Australia last week.
Meghan kindly filmed a video for a fan's daughter during their trip to the Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club on 17 April, congratulating her on her upcoming nuptials. Her top words of advice were to "enjoy the wedding" but to remember that it's "more about the marriage" itself.
In the video, she said: "Ellie, I'm here with your dad. I just wanted to say congratulations on your wedding. Enjoy the wedding, but it's more about the marriage.
"Have a wonderful, beautiful marriage and a lifetime of love. Sending you love all over the world. Your dad is awesome."
A big milestone
Prince Harry and Meghan have a big milestone coming up as they celebrate their eighth wedding anniversary on 19 May.
The couple married in a lavish royal wedding at St George's Chapel in Windsor in 2018, attended by the late Queen Elizabeth, who granted them the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Meghan was walked down the aisle by the then-Prince Charles.
The couple left the royal family in 2020 and moved to the US, where they have raised their two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.
Meghan previously opened up about her marriage to Harry in November, telling Harper's Bazaar: "He loves me so boldly, fully, and he also has a different perspective because he sees media that I wouldn’t. 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."
Suits actress Meghan was previously married to film producer Trevor Engelson from 2011 to 2014, before she met Harry.
Bombshell interview
It comes as Prince Harry gave a rare face-to-face interview to ITV News on Friday. The Duke said he still considers himself part of the royal family, despite stepping down as a senior royal six years ago.
He only responded "I don't think so" when asked if his words could affect King Charles and Queen Camilla's state visit to the US next week.
Speaking from Ukraine, Harry said: "I will always be part of the royal family and I'm here working, doing the very thing I was born to do and I enjoy doing it. I enjoy being able to do these trips and support the people that I've met before and the friends that I've made."
