There had been reports that it was Meghan who made Kate Middleton cry, but Meghan added: "That was a turning point. That was when everything changed. "It was the beginning of the character assassination and they knew it wasn’t true."
- "Their justification was a change in status. I pushed back and said is there a change of threat or risk? Eventually, I got the confirmation that no, the risk hasn’t changed but due to our change of status — we would no longer be ‘official’ members of the royal family." — Prince Harry on how their security detail was removed when they stepped back from being senior members of the royal family.

Even the people that smile the biggest smiles and shine the brightest lights, it seems." — the Duchess on being "haunted" by a photograph from an official event with her husband at the Royal Albert Hall while she was pregnant.
- "Just grateful. To have any child, any one or any two, would have been amazing. But to have a boy and then a girl, I mean what more can you ask for? Now we’ve got our family, we got the four of us and our two dogs." — Prince Harry after revealing the couple are having a girl this summer.
