In February, Harry said that the family of three had been doing video calls with the Queen and Prince Philip amid the pandemic. "Both my grandparents do Zoom," Harry told James Corden. "They've seen Archie running around."
Because technology exists (I know the Cambridge crowd love to live in the Dark Ages) Harry and Meghan can speak with the queen when they please ❤️ and people just can’t take it.

Prince Harry opens up on why he left royal life
Tumblr media
Prince Harry has said he stepped back from the royal family last year because the British press was “destroying” his mental health.
In a rare one-on-one interview in which he discussed the pressures of royal life and his move away from London, Harry told “The Late Late Show” host James Corden that he decided he needed to “get (his) family out of here” and that he preferred the depiction of royal life seen on Netflix show “The Crown” to the one published in newspapers.
“We all know what the British press can be like, and it was destroying my mental health,” he said during the segment. “I was like, this is toxic. So I did what any husband and what any father would do.”
The prince and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, quit as working members of the royal family in January 2020, a step that caused a crisis within the establishment.
They have since moved to Los Angeles and have begun carving out new lives, increasing their public visibility and engagement with more sympathetic media figures.
The release of Harry’s interview with Corden comes days before he and Meghan sit down for a prime-time interview with Oprah Winfrey.
During the segment with Corden, in which the pair travel round Los Angeles in an open-top bus, Harry revealed he has watched “The Crown” — the popular drama that probes a number of reported fractures within the royal family. “I’m way more comfortable with ‘The Crown’ than I am seeing the stories written about my family or my wife or myself,” he said.
    “They don’t pretend to be news, it’s fictional,” Harry added of the show, about which his fellow royals have generally been tight-lipped.
“But it’s loosely based on the truth. Of course it’s not strictly accurate, but … it gives you a rough idea about what that lifestyle, what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that.”
Harry and Meghan have been mired in a long-running war of words and lawsuits with a large portion of the tabloid media, fighting multiple legal cases against publications and photo agencies that had printed details of their private lives.
Earlier this month, Meghan won a privacy claim against the publishers of the Mail on Sunday after they published a letter she sent her father, and launched a stinging rebuke to “dehumanizing” media organizations after the verdict, saying the “damage they have done and continue to do runs deep.”
    Harry told Corden his life with Meghan in LA will be “a slightly different version, but a continuation, of what we were doing back in the UK anyway.”
“My life is always going to be about public service, and Meghan signed up to that, and the two of us enjoy doing that,” he said, echoing comments the pair made after the Queen announced last week that they would not return as working members of the royal family.
Their statement at the time, which insisted that “service is universal,” was read by many as a rejection of the Queen’s framing of their departure.
“It was never walking away. It was stepping back rather than stepping down. It was a really difficult environment,” Harry said, adding he’ll never “walk away,” regardless of “whatever decisions are made on that side.”
But he told Corden they have video-called the Queen and Prince Philip since their move. “We’ve Zoomed them a few times, they’ve seen Archie running around,” he said.
He joked that Philip, instead of clicking the button to leave a meeting, just shuts the laptop when the conversation is over. The 99-year-old prince is currently in the hospital in London suffering from an infection, though Harry’s interview was likely filmed before his admission and does not comment on it.
Harry also discussed his relationship with Meghan and their son Archie, revealing the child’s first word was “crocodile” and that the Queen sent him a waffle maker for Christmas, at Meghan’s request.
    Turning to the couple’s early romance, he said: “Dating with me, or with any member of the royal family I guess, is kind of flipped upside down. All the dates become dinners or watching the TV or chatting at home. And eventually when you become a couple, then you venture out to dinners, to the cinema and everything else.”
During the segment, the pair visit the house used in the ’90s Will Smith series “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” with Harry revealing — during a bout of somewhat awkward rapping — that he knows the lyrics to the show’s famous theme song, before slipping inside for a bathroom break.
Corden then video-calls Meghan on Harry’s phone to jokingly suggest the pair move in. “I think we’ve done enough moving,” she said, dropping her nickname for her husband — “Haz.”
Interest in the couple’s new lives is likely to intensify after they sit down for a lengthy interview with Winfrey, which is expected to touch on the nature of their departure from royal life.
The couple recently announced they are expecting a second child.

“Honestly, lost in the massive drama is the indisputable fact that Harry and Meghan are one of the CUTEST royal couples. The story of how they started dating and how they decided to marry is pretty romantic. I can see how they were really exhausted and sad when the British press went to town with the negative articles, but the new James Corden video made me so happy because that cuteness is back! They're so soft for one another and it makes me swoon.” - Submitted by Anonymous
“This is coming from a Republican so please don't come after me, I'd rather have the whole monarchy abolished. But I loved the little tidbits I read from Harry about his family in the James Corden interview, and Meghan looked very glamorous in that short video call, the hair colour suits her. Now that they have stepped back from the "institution", I hope they remain happy together in US :)” - Submitted by Anonymous
“I thought Harry was hilarious in the James Cordon video and I very much enjoyed watching him. And the Meghan cameo was unexpected but wonderful. She looked AH-mazing” - Submitted by Anonymous

Oprah Winfrey ‘advised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry about ditching Royal family to become US power-couple’ – The Sun
OPRAH Winfrey reportedly advised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to ditch the British Royal family to become US power-couple, sources said on Thursday. Oprah, who attended Meghan, 38, and 35-year-old Harry’s wedding encouraged their “declaration of independence,” according to Page Six. 6 Oprah, who was a guest at Harry and Meghan’s wedding, said she would ‘support whatever decisions [Harry and Meghan] make’Credit: Getty – Contributor6 The couple – who are largely dependent on funding from Harry’s dad – want to pursue ‘financial independence’Credit: Splash NewsOprah – who pals around with Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland – didn’t deny the claims, telling Entertainment Tonight the couple “do not need my help in figuring out what’s best for them.” “I care about them both and support whatever decisions they make for their family,” she said of their unexpected exit which left the world and the royals reeling. A source told the publication: “Oprah was the first person to talk to Harry and Meghan about breaking free and doing their own thing, building on their own brand.” “She made them realize it was really possible,” the insider added after the couple’s plans to “step back” from the Royal Family to pursue financial independence emerged. In response to this report, Oprah Winfrey tells ET, “Meghan and Harry do not need my help in figuring out what’s best for them. I care about them both and support whatever decisions they make for their family.” https://t.co/L2YNGR63Ho— Brendon Geoffrion (@tv_brendon) January 10, 2020
The news comes after the SunOnline exclusively revealed Meghan and Harry’s plans to start a new life in Canada and reconsider their royal roles. Meghan and Harry have reportedly already trademarked “Sussex Royal” as a brand on more than 100 properties in the UK with an estimated $500 million revenue, says Page Six. The publication revealed they made their royal mark on everything from clothing, stationery, and photographs after their shocking plans to leave the country emerged. But it’s not Harry’s first rodeo with the American powerhouse that is Oprah: she previously interviewed the prince for an Apple TV+ serious about the Sussexes’ struggle with the spotlight. 6 The couple’s shock announcement left the world – and the royals – reelingCredit: Instagram6 Meghan plans to pursue lucrative deals in North America, where they can build a powerful brand, reports sayCredit: Splash NewsThe couple have also reportedly gathered an array of other powerful celeb friends, which include the Obamas, Clooneys, Serena Williams, James Corden and designer Misha Nonoo. Nonoo’s new husband Michael Hess even offered Harry and Meghan one of their gated Malibu Colony homes called “Billionaire’s Beach,” according to PageSix. SunOnline reached out to Oprah about Meghan and Harry’s shock decision to leave the UK on Friday. While Harry held crisis talks with the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William, Meghan jetted off to Canada, leaving baby Archie with his dad. She flew back after just three days in the UK and the former actress will rejoin eight-month-old Archie in Vancouver. It is thought the couple didn’t want their son to suffer jet lag flying ten hours to and from Canada inside five days Meghan is expected to stay there for the foreseeable future while Harry will stay in Britain to host the Rugby League World Cup 2021 draw next week. The move could also make a dent in their pockets as Prince Charles threatened to cut off their £2 million funding if they abandon their royal duties completely. But Harry and Meghan want to keep their Frogmore cottage which was refurbished with £2.4m of taxpayers’ cash as their London second home. ‘STRING HIM UP’ Drifter hauled from court after ‘starting blaze in fire-ravaged Australia’ LUNCH POISONER Man, 26, dies four years after colleague poisoned his sandwich with mercury SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES Chilling video shows ‘Iranian missile’ bringing down passenger jet HOUSE OF HORRORS Two starving kids rescued from stepdad who burnt them with cigarettes ON A KNIFEEDGE WW3 fears allayed as US says it is ready for ‘serious talks’ with Iran In their extraordinary statement the couple said they would use the five-bedroom pad “as their official residence as they continue to support the Monarchy.” The couple’s bombshell statement was released on January 8 apparently without the knowledge of other members of the Royal family.

White House, Facebook, Georgia: Your Tuesday Evening Briefing
(Want to get this briefing by email? Here’s the sign-up.)
Good evening. Here’s the latest.
1. “There’s a very substantial chance that it won’t work out.”
President Trump cast doubt on his planned meeting next month with North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, in Singapore. His comments came as he met with President Moon Jae-in of South Korea at the White House, above.
Mr. Moon has acted as a go-between in the proposed talks, and South Korea had insisted on Monday that there was a “99.9 percent” chance that the meeting would be held.
If the North maintains its nuclear arsenal, can Mr. Trump still claim diplomatic victory? It will depend on how he redefines success — and if he meets with Mr. Kim, our correspondent noted.
2. The House voted to roll back a key provision of the Dodd-Frank Act, the law passed after the Great Recession of 2008 to prevent another financial meltdown.
The new bill removes restrictions on small and medium-sized banks like BB&T, above, that they complain are burdensome and unnecessary. But it doesn’t change much for big banks.
The Senate approved the legislation in March, and the next step is President Trump’s signature.
____
That means he could be used as leverage against Mr. Cohen, President Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer, in the special counsel investigation.
The potential witness is Evgeny Freidman, above, a Russian immigrant who was once known as the Taxi King. Mr. Freidman was facing a possible sentence of more than 100 years, but he got five years’ probation instead.
____
4. We visited Marshall County High School in Benton, Ky., where two students were killed in a shooting in January.
A new wave of student activism for gun control there is clashing with bedrock support for gun rights. A small group of students participated in a March for Our Lives rally, and immediately faced a backlash.
“When people started talking about me, it knocked me down a few pegs,” said Lily Dunn, above right.
State lawmakers did not pass any gun restrictions after the shooting. But the school has added armed guards, locked doors and backpack searches.
5. Mark Zuckerberg faced a barrage of questions at the European Parliament in Brussels, the latest stop on his Facebook apology tour.
One member asked if Mr. Zuckerberg wanted to be remembered in the same high regard as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, or for destroying democracy. Another asked whether it was time to consider breaking up Facebook because the company had “too much power.”
Mr. Zuckerberg kept to the conciliatory script he used in Washington last month. His appearance comes ahead of the region’s introduction this Friday of a strict new data privacy law called the General Data Protection Regulation.
And it came amid growing calls, in Europe and elsewhere, to treat Facebook as a publisher, not just a platform.
____
6. Voters went to the polls for primaries in Georgia, Arkansas and Kentucky. Above, voting in Clarkston, Ga.
Stacey Abrams and Stacey Evans are facing off in the Democratic primary for governor in Georgia. Ms. Abrams leads in polls and fund-raising, and if elected in November, she would be the first black woman to be governor of any state.
She’s an outspoken progressive, and she’s making a bet that Georgia’s electorate is shifting. We’ll have live results for that race, and others worth watching, as they come in.
____
7. A Tibetan businessman in China who campaigned to preserve his native language is headed to prison — because of interviews he gave to The New York Times.
Tashi Wangchuk, above, says the Tibetan language is threatened by official policies declaring Mandarin the language of schooling and government.
Mr. Tashi, 33, was arrested in early 2016, two months after he was featured in a Times video and article. He was charged with “inciting separatism” and sentenced to five years.
____
8. It looks as if Hollywood is starting to make good on its promise to broaden the #MeToo movement and focus on women outside the limelight.
The Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, started by female stars and producers, is helping Gina Pitre, above, sue her former employer, Walmart, over sexual harassment. She says a manager touched her inappropriately and made suggestive comments.
The suit is one of the first to arise from the Time’s Up fund, which has raised $22 million — and gotten reports of harassment from almost 3,000 employees.
____
9. “We’re all our own worst critics.”
Our Smarter Living columnist says that the old saying isn’t just self-help fluff.
Evolutionary psychologists have studied our natural “negativity bias,” which makes negative experiences seem more significant than they really are.
The solution? It’s called self-compassion: the practice of being kind and understanding to ourselves when confronted with a personal flaw or failure.
10. Finally, the host of “The Late Late Show,” James Corden, was among the guests at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over the weekend. He said the “picture-perfect day” showed Britain as its finest.
“Imagine having such a beautiful ceremony that the entire planet actually wants to watch your wedding video,” he marveled.
And if you missed it, you can find all our royal wedding coverage here.
Have a great night.
