Meghan also said the couple’s departure “never needed to be this way. We talked about this over and over again, sitting up late in the kitchen after these late-night engagements, saying we’re going to carry on doing this for the rest of our lives.”
She continued, “I thought the public … they’ve been fed these lies for two years, what do they think of me? They must hate us. No. The people were just so embracing. They were sad that we were leaving. We were sad that we were leaving.”
The segment concluded with a selfie video of Harry, saying, “I’m going to miss the British public. I’m not going to miss the British press and their followers and the trolls they create. I’m going to miss this country. So is Meghan.”
