Prince Harry caught off guard in rare interview as he makes admission about Meghan
At his third public appearance since returning to the UK last month, Prince Harry appeared to be caught off guard by an interviewer as he made an admission about his wife, Meghan
Prince Harry made an admission about his wife, Meghan Markle, in a rare interview with Magic Radio station. Prince Harry, Meghan, and their two children Archie and Lilibet moved back to the UK almost one month ago after deciding to enrol their children in school.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the UK and stepped back from their royal duties in early 2020, before settling in California in March that year. King Charles was told of the move to a private residence in The Cotswolds at the start of August, before they officially moved in at the end of the same month.
The family visited the King at his Highgrove home in July this year, but it is understood the move was not discussed. Before that visit, Prince Harry and Meghan had not been in the UK together since they attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 , with Meghan often choosing the stay at home with her children.
Since being back, The Sussexes have kept a low profile since being back in the UK with Prince Harry only making three public appearances so far. the couple did, however, find themselves in the headlines after the Sussex children switched schools due to security and logistical concerns regarding their commute.
Meghan Markle was also spotted for the first time since her return to the UK this week, with onlookers snapping photos of the Duchess of Sussex as she spent the afternoon at a pub.
What admission did Prince Harry make about Meghan at the WellChild Awards?
Following an appearance at the WellChild Awards in London on Monday, September 21, Harry was spotted on camera in a rare interview with Magic Radio.
He appeared to be caught off guard as he was asked a question about his wife, Meghan. Magic Radio presenter Gaby Roslin offered The Duchess of Sussex a radio show on the station, after Harry admitted she "loves" the station.
Gaby said: "Do you want a show on Magic? Your wife could do a show on Magic? She loves Magic!" Prince Harry replied: Do I want a show on Magic? She does love Magic, that's true. We haven't talked about it. I can take this back to her."
Gaby then encouraged the prince to think about doing a Christmas show with his wife, to which Harry replied that he would "have a word" with her boss while smirking at the camera.
A clip of the interview was shared on social media, with hundreds of people commenting on the post about about Prince Harry's sense of humour.
One person said: "I think he likes it when people are being funny and not being over-polite. In fairness he’s probably alright."
A second said: "Harry has his mothers sense of humour." A third added: "Seriously, I could listen to him talk for hours. He is so odd in the best way."
The story behind Archie and Lilibet changing schools
What was planned as a 35 minute journey to the Sussex children's school ended up much longer than anticipated, with narrow roads and heavy rush hour traffic creating "pinch points" that made it impossible for the family’s private security team to keep their two-car convoy together. Bodyguards had vetted the route over the summer, but obviously a full operational assessment couldn't be carried out until the school's returned.
While senior royals historically travel separately for protocol reasons, splitting Archie and Lilibet into separate vehicles left their protection team concerned they were "sitting ducks." As a result, the couple were forced to pull their children out and enrol them at another school.
Harry and Meghan were seen arriving at the new school yesterday in a convoy of two blacked out 4x4 cars, dropping the children off for their first day. The couple has already been added to the new parents WhatsApp groups.
Parents at the new school were given just 24 hours' notice of the high-profile arrivals. One mum told the Mirror : "The parents' WhatsApp groups have been buzzing. It's all been very sudden and lots of people are talking about it.
"The school is very academic with a lovely close knit village feel. All the parents talk to each other, so as long as they are friendly they'll fit right in."
Another parent added: "It's all caused quite a commotion. This is a small community school and we are not used to anything like it and certainly not famous parents rocking up in blacked-out cars to drop their children off.
"Once the excitement dampens down for some, I am sure they (Harry and Meghan) will be invited to school events like any other parent. It's a wonderful atmosphere here and I hope they will want to get involved in everything from school fundraisers to cheering on all our sports teams."
Addressing the sudden move, a spokesman for the Sussexes told Hello! : "The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family’s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements.
"The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family. This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there."
