In a remarkably personal and rare interview, Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, has opened up about her profound connection with Prince Harry, describing his love as a life-changing force. The 44-year-old former actress spoke with Harper’s Bazaar, offering a candid glimpse into her marriage and the qualities that first drew her to the Duke.
A Bold and Playful Love
Meghan revealed she was deeply attracted to Prince Harry's 'childlike sense of wonder and playfulness.' She explained that this characteristic, which she found so compelling, has now infused every aspect of their life together. 'He loves me so boldly, fully,' she stated, reportedly placing a hand on her heart during the conversation. She added with conviction, '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.'
The Duchess elaborated that Harry's playful perspective encourages creativity in their business ventures and personal life. 'I want us to play and have fun and explore and be creative,' she shared, highlighting how her husband's outlook continues to inspire her.
Expert Analysis: A Statement of 'Royal Power'
Body language and communications expert Judi James provided a striking analysis of the interview, describing Meghan's words as a 'breathtaking statement.' James noted that it is highly unusual for someone to focus so intently on how much they are loved, rather than expressing their own love for another.
'This has to be the ultimate status symbol, especially in Hollywood,' James commented, contrasting Meghan's assuredness with the 'state of paranoia' common among many A-list celebrities. She interpreted this confidence as Meghan channelling her 'inner royal power,' a trait reminiscent of the aristocracy's self-assuredness.
James also drew a parallel to a comment made by Prince Charles to the now-Queen Camilla, noting a similar tone of confident adoration. Furthermore, she analysed the magazine photoshoot, pointing out that Meghan's nearly bare-faced look and simple styling project an effortless, classy beauty that aligns with traditional royal preferences for natural aesthetics.
Life as a Mother and Entrepreneur
Beyond her relationship, Meghan discussed her role as a mother to Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four. She expressed her hope that her children see 'the value of being brave' through her work. Reflecting on the early days of her luxury brand, American Riviera Orchard, she recalled her children seeing 'the jam was just a pot on the stove, bubbling.'
She also touched on the importance of allowing oneself to make mistakes, applying the same grace she offers her children to her own endeavours as a founder. 'There's no such thing as perfect. I, too, get to make mistakes,' she admitted.
The interview took place in a grand New York brownstone, where the Duchess was formally announced by her full title, 'Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,' to the journalist, a moment the expert interpreted as a deliberate signal of her unique and special status.
