[♪♪♪]

[sighs]

It's important,

my darling boys,

to reflect on
the world at large

at a time like this.

That's why I brought you
to Africa,

the birthplace of mankind.

A place where we can feel
a greater rhythm--

You're not going to start
quoting The Lion King again,

are you?

There is so much
of your mother in you both.

She'd be very proud of you.

Why did you make us
walk behind the coffin?

You had a duty--

we all did--

to show honor to your mother,

to the country,

to set an example.

I don't want
to set an example!

Harry!

Harry, come back!

[♪♪♪]

Good afternoon.

What are we having today?

Your Highness,

these are for
the Queen's meeting

with the Privy Council.

Oh.

Such a shame.

They look delicious.

Perhaps if you're
feeling peckish,

we could arrange for
something to be brought up?

A hot dog.

[chuckles]
A hot dog?

Yes, please.

With mustard, and...
onions, and relish.

Right away.
Anything else?

No,

thank you.

We wouldn't want to be gluttons,

now, would we?

[♪♪♪]

Mm...

Couldn't we have just asked
for the pastries?

I suppose,

but where's the fun in that?

But isn't it naughty?

It's okay to be naughty
sometimes.

Just as long
as you don't get caught.

[chuckles]

I wish you didn't
have to go.

It's only
for a little while.

And you know
I'm always with you,

no matter where you are.

[Charles calling]
Harry!

It's not safe!

[snarling]

[roars]

[Charles]: Harry...

Back away.

[chambering bullet]

Harry...

[shot blasts]

[roaring]

"Goodbye, dear.

I'll have dinner waiting for you
when you get back from work."

"Thanks, honey.
You're my hero!"

[television playing]
...India, and Laos.

[advertisement jingle begins]

The gloves are coming off.

[♪♪♪]

Women are fighting
greasy pots and pans

all over America--

with Ivory Clear.

It's not right

for kids to grow up
thinking these things,

that just Mom does everything.

They should say "people,"
not "women."

You wash
just as many dishes.

Don't I know it?

Dad, I'm serious.

They're making it seem like
women belong in a kitchen.

You're right.

You should be angry.

The question is,

what are you
going to do about it?

I don't know,
stop watching TV?

Don't go crazy on me.

TV pays the bills around here.

Do you remember

when you came home that day,

all upset

because you didn't want to fill
the ethnicity form at school?

I didn't want to choose
between you and Mom.

And what did I tell you?

You told me
to draw my own box.

Exactly.

Now, honey,

I know you want to make

a huge difference
in the world,

not just for yourself,
but for other people.

So get to it.

Tell them how you really feel.

But they're not
going to listen to me.

I'm just a kid.

I wouldn't be so sure.

You're never too young
to be a badass.

If you think
you're going silence me

with a cheap threat,

you are going to get
the surprise of your life.

And even if you somehow manage
to shut me up,

there are a thousand other women
who will take my place,

so I'm going
to ask you this once.

Do we settle here,

or will I see you in court?

[laughing]
Cut!

Great, Meghan,
that was just great.

Hey, let's go again.

Yeah.

Um, how about,
this time,

maybe try
striking a pose?

You know,
do a little head tilt.

Be kind of coquettish?

Yes, exactly. [laughs]

Yeah, I don't think that
Rachel would be doing that

in this moment.

I mean, she's kind of
an empowered woman

and she just won the scene
with her brains,

and the strength
of her conviction.

Also, I wanted
to talk to you

about the next scene.

Rachel's in a towel.

It's the middle of the day.

She just came from court.

I don't see why she would
go home and take a shower.

It just feels
gratuitous.

How about a bathrobe?

How about...

a suit?

It's the name of the show.

[chuckles]

I'll talk to the producers.

Thanks, dude.

I appreciate you hearing me out.

[♪♪♪]

[nightclub music blasting]

[champagne cork pops]

[camera shutters snap]

[William]: "Someday,
my Prince Harry will come"?

Oh, for God's sake.

Yeah.

And I'm afraid
Pa is not amused.

It was a private club.

I can't even let off steam
like any normal person?

I'm not sure
any of this is normal,

least of all you.

But look, as far as
I'm concerned, you carry on.

Keep making me
smell like a rose.

You do smell
like a rose, you ponce.

Aren't you bored
of being perfect yet?

It's not me that's perfect.

It's Kate.

I just shove her out there
and she makes me look good.

She's the best thing
that ever happened to you.

You'll find someone.

You're just looking
in all the wrong places.

Come on, let's
get you presentable.

We've got to go see Pa
and the powers-that-be.

It was a private club.

I mean...

I'd hoped
after the Nazi uniform,

and stripping down

and showing off
the family jewels in Las Vegas,

we were past all this.

Well, what am I
supposed to do,

never have fun?

[Charles]: All three
of our press offices

had to pull strings
to get this taken down

before the redtops
ran with it.

Thank you for that, Robert.

Of course,
Your Highness.

Thank God, your grandmother
didn't see.

It would have killed her.

I'm a grown man.

I should be able to live my life
outside of this royal bubble.

If he goes on
like this,

there won't be a royal bubble,

or a bloody throne
for either of us to sit on.

Thanks for the support
there, Will.

You knew
what Mum would say.

"It's okay to be naughty..."

"...As long as
you don't get caught."

In that case,

I guess Pa
is not the only parent

I've disappointed today.

Why not give Cressie a call?

I thought you two

were talking about
getting back together.

She's not the one.

But if you settle down,

the press will, too.

They'll find someone
else to focus on.

And marriage isn't so bad.

Is it, Will?

Is it, Will?

Of course not,
my love.

I'm just saying

Peter Pan can't stay
in Neverland forever.

Someday,
he's got to grow up.

So, would you rather be 42,
divorced, no kids,

42, divorced, with kids,

or 42, never married, no kids?

Divorced with kids,
no question.

Divorced with kids,

but why can't I just be
happily married with kids?

Because that's not an option
in this game.

Or life.

Personally,
I have no interest

in bringing children
into this horrible world,

so I vote for single, no kids.

Or if I have kids,
I'll adopt.

So are you and your fancy chef
going to tie the knot

and make babies?

[scoffs]

Oh, no.

I'm so sorry.

Wasn't meant to be.

But, hey, I'm single again.

And not getting any younger.

It's fine.

Having a man doesn't define me.

I just want to fulfill
my potential.

Whatever it is.

[quietly] Nice job.

Darling...

I swear to God,

every damn dress looks
better than the last.

Aw...

Oh, this is the one.

Ralph will be thrilled.

I'll have it waiting for you
before the event in London.

Thanks, Violet.

Oh, I can't wait.

I just really need
to get out of town.

Do you have plans
while you're there?

Yeah, I'm going to
see Serena at Wimbledon.

I have an extra ticket.

If you're interested.

What about
your plus one?

No plus one, just me.

Really?

Yeah.

Interesting.

Why?

I think you might get on well
with a friend of mine.

Too soon for a blind date?

A little.

Of course, I understand--

But then again,

as I was just
painfully reminded,

I'm not getting any younger.

[chuckles]

Well, neither is this one,

but he's handsome, rich,
well connected,

and unlike his older brother,
he still has his hair.

I don't care
about any of that.

Just tell me one thing,

is he nice?

[reporters talking excitedly]

Hi.

[Violet]: I have a lovely friend
I'd really like you to meet.

[Harry]: How's it going?

She's an actress.

She does loads
of charity work.

Is she hot?

[scoffs]

Put it this way,
Ginger Boy,

if you weren't a prince,
you'd never have a shot.

[chuckles]

[♪♪♪]

Thank you.

[sighs]

[clears throat nervously]

Looks like someone

got out of the wrong side
of bed this morning.

It was this afternoon.

Reynolds, have you ever had
a blind date work out?

No, sir.

Well, then.

Well,
Violet von Westenholtz

is known for
her impeccable taste.

This girl is
an American actress.

Never as attractive in person.

[chuckles]

So shall I just do the usual?

Give us a minute

so she can tell her friends
she met a prince, then...

yeah,

come in with my usual out.

Very good, sir.

Hi, there.

Hi.

I'm Meghan.

Hello. Yeah.
I'm-I'm Harry.

Uh, you look--

Thank you.

I'm going to actually need you
to hold off on the compliments

until you have apologized

for being 40 minutes late.

Was I?

Uh, sorry, I didn't realize.

Uh, really?

Can I just...

show you how this works?

Um, you see here?

This short hand,
that one is the hours,

and the long one
is the minutes.

Hmm, I've always
wondered about that.

Have you?

An English
boarding school education,

it's highly overrated.

I do apologize.

Oh, no,

that's okay.

I mean, I feel like
I can let it go,

considering you've
agreed to meet me

in such a, uh...

a lively setting.

[chuckles]

I'm sorry about that, too.

It's just best if we're not
seen together publicly,

for your sake.

Of course.
I know, I mean,

it would really
hurt my street cred

to be seen with a guy
who can't tell time.

I mean, I'm kind of
a well-known actress after all.

Uh, what is it you do?

I'm, uh...

kind of the Prince of England.

Right.

Violet did mention that.

Yeah, how's that going for you?

Yeah, you know,

it's ups and downs.

Mm, wow.

Appreciate that level of detail.

[Reynolds]: Sir!

I'm terribly sorry
to interrupt,

but there's an emergency.

Uh...um...

[in mock surprise]
Really?

What kind of emergency?

London...

Bridge is, um--

Falling down?

Well, it's... it's...

rather an ugly bridge.

Very good, sir.

Sorry about that.

I-I told him to come in--

I know exactly
what you told him.

I practically
invented that move.

Yeah, I've been
on a lot of blind dates,

pretty much all of them bad.

Well...

let's see if we can
break that streak.

[glasses clink]

[♪♪♪]

Okay, okay, my turn.

Mm-hmm...

Uh, movie you put on
to cheer yourself up,

one, two, three--

- Love, Actually .
- The Lion King .

-Ooh!
-Oh, okay.

I actually love
Love, Actually .

[imitating Scar]:
"I'm surrounded by idiots."

Not a bad
English accent.

Thank you.

Do you like being an actress?

Well, you know, ups and downs.

Ooh,

appreciate
that level of detail.

[laughs]

Mm, okay,

what is your favorite song

that you would never
admit to anyone

that you like?

One, two, three--

-"Sail Away" by Enya.
-"Good Vibrations" Marky Mark.

Ooh, that really
is embarrassing.

What?

I mean, even Marky Mark
is embarrassed by that.

But "Sail Away"?

I know, it's really cheesy,

but I'd get stuck

in the back
of my mum's car,

singing at the top of her lungs,
going, ♪ Sail away! ♪

Oh, God, it's awful...

[laughing]

Did you always want
to be in show business?

Um, no.

I actually wanted to be--

thank you--

the first biracial

female President

of the United States of America.

But then I ended up
a briefcase girl

on Deal or No Deal .

Mm-hmm.

[winces] Ooh.

You know,
it paid the rent,

and it kept me alive
long enough

to get a great job

that lets me do
really great things

that I want to do.

Violet said
you'd been in Rwanda.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, the Clean Water Project.

[sighs] Those girls,

they walk miles every day

to get water
that just makes them sick.

So the new wells help them
get back to school,

and... build better lives
for themselves.

That's amazing.

Just the simplest act

can completely change
someone's life.

Bloody hell.

[chuckles]

You're the real deal,
aren't you?

I don't know, aren't you?

I mean...

I didn't exactly have a choice
to be in front of the cameras,

or to do charity work.

Well, being
in front of the cameras

helps me do charity work.

Maybe you're the one
who's in show business.

[chuckles]

I like it that
you're not afraid of me.

Then you tell me
something real.

Uh...

being in the army.

I enjoyed the action.

The, uh,

rough and tumble
suited me,

but, uh,

being the Prince of England
kind of didn't suit the job.

It made my guys a target.

So, anyway, I started up
this kind of Olympics

for badly-wounded warriors.

The Invictus Games.

Mm-hmm.

I might have Googled it.

Wow, did you see

when Morgan Freeman
did that poem?

"Beyond this place
of wrath and tears

"looms but the horror
of the shade.

"If the menace of the years

"finds and shall find me
unafraid,

"it matters not
how strait the gate,

"how charged with punishments
the scroll.

"I am the master of my fate...

I am the captain of my soul."

[♪♪♪]

Ooh, good morning.

[chuckles] Yeah.

You know, I really
should get going.

How long
are you in town?

What are you
doing tonight?

I'm going back to Toronto.

Well, fly out again
and hang out this weekend.

It doesn't work that way.

I mean, I work all of July,

and, uh, I can't keep
leaving town.

I have joint custody.

Oh, you have kids.

-Dogs.
-Okay.

With my ex.

Boyfriend.

My ex-boyfriend.

But you should know,

I do also have an ex-husband.

Uh, okay.

Well, uh, I'll ask
my social secretary,

and see if we can't find time
to meet up again.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Best blind date ever.

Uh, Mom...

Mom!

It was one date.

With the damn
Prince of England.

[laughing]
Excuse my language.

Wait till I tell
the ladies at yoga.

No!

No, Mom, you cannot
tell anybody anything.

And besides, it's not like
it's going anywhere.

It's been three days,
and he hasn't even called.

I mean, I just...

I told you

because you're always saying
I should have more fun,

and... it was fun.

Did you give
the milk away for free?

Mom!

[chuckles] What?

Did you mention
the ex-husband thing?

[call waiting beeping]
Oh, can you hold on a second?

You know what, Mom,
I think this might be work.

I'm going to call you back.

-Okay.
- Love you.

I love you, Flower.

Hello?

Meghan?

It's Harry.

Harry?

Uh...

Harry, uh,
Mountbatten-Windsor?

[laughs]

No, I know,

Harry, I'm joking.

Right, yeah, no, good.

Uh... how are you?

What are you doing?

I'm, um...

reading a script.

What are you doing?

Uh... yeah, just
the usual royal stuff.

Anyway,

you said
you had to shoot all July,

but I was wondering

if you're busy mid-August?

Well, let me consult
my social secretary.

I'm free.

Good.

I want to take you
someplace special

for our next date.

[helicopter whirring]

[♪♪♪]

Hey.

[♪♪♪]

Welcome to Botswana!

He Botswana-ed her.

Is that what you call it?

It's his move,

but it's the first time
he's ever taken a girl there

so quickly.

Apparently,

she's an actress.

And he says
he doesn't like publicity.

And...

she's American.

Oh, no.

They're so...

loud.

[screaming]

[laughing]

[squeals]

[♪♪♪]

[laughing]

[squeals]

[laughing]

[♪♪♪]

This is a lot better

than the jungle cruise
at Disneyland.

We went
when I was eight.

I rode Splash Mountain,
like, 14 times.

Bloody loved that place.

Sorry, you...
went to Disneyland?

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Were there, like, 5,000
secret police there?

Yeah, it was Mum's idea.

She wanted us to have these,
uh, normal kid experiences.

It's one of my most
happy memories with her.

My dad brought
William and I here

right after she died.

I guess he just wanted

to take us away from everything.

I look out at all this,

and, uh, tell myself
to forget about her.

Because missing your mother

doesn't change the fact
that she's never coming back,

you know?

Yeah...

What is it?

It's, um...

It was just...

It was the first time
we came here,

and I was walking alone,

and I saw this...

I saw this lion.

It was just
a few feet away from me,

and it turned around
and stared at me, and...

It was right after
the funeral, you know?

I guess I thought...

I don't know.

You thought it was her.

That's insane,

right?

No. I don't think so.

I think it's beautiful.

Well, you're from California,
of course you do.

[chuckles]

Come on, seriously.

It's like, um...

Well, it's like she was
watching over you,

letting you know

everything would be all right.

[♪♪♪]

Um...

people always ask me,
"What are you?"

And I say,

"I'm an actor.

"I'm a blogger.

"I'm a decent cook,

"a firm believer
in the effectiveness

of a hand-written note."

But what they mean is,

"What are you?
Black or white?"

It's like they just can't
wrap their heads around

anything in between,

and I couldn't either, as a kid.

You know, especially
after the divorce,

I had to be
two different people--

How old were you?

Six.

Getting shuttled
between two worlds.

You know, my parents
really tried to help.

I remember

one Christmas,

my dad put together
two sets of dolls,

one black, and one white,

to make a little blended family.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm proud of it now

that I can't just be
put into a box,

but at the time, it was...

it was really, really hard.

Anyway, I'm sorry if I'm
getting too serious for you.

No, no, no.

You want to talk serious?

Uh, try being a ginger
in England.

A ginger?

A redhead.

Ah...

Yeah, uh, okay.

Why are the Harry Potter films
so unrealistic?

Why?

Because the ginger kid
has two friends.

What did the ginger
make for dinner?

What?

Reservations for one.

Aw...

Okay, last one.

What do gingers look forward to
later in life?

I don't know, what?

Gray hair. Obviously.

[laughs]

I'm sorry,

I feel like I really
shouldn't laugh at that.

No, no, it...

it's kind of funny.

Except people used to say

I couldn't really be
my father's son

because of this.

This is from the Spencer's line,

which, by the way,
is older than the Windsor's.

So technically,
my dad married up.

[chuckles]

So was there, um,

a lot of tension
between families?

Uh, let's just say
I know how you felt

being shuttled
back and forth

between divorced parents

who lived two
very different lives.

And of course,
being shot by the paps

in the back seat
of my mum's car, crying,

was also wonderful.

I mean, having your parents'
divorce in the tabloids.

I cannot imagine how hard
it must have been for you guys.

I promised myself
I would never have kids

unless I knew

the relationship
would go the distance.

Yeah.

For the record,

I've always had a thing
for redheads.

Is that so?

Yeah.

Are you joining me?

[♪♪♪]

[lion roaring]

That sounded really close.

Oh, don't worry,
they're not.

The sound
travels for miles.

[lion roaring, loudly]

Okay...

It sounds hungry.

Lions don't roar
because they're hungry.

They roar because they're
calling to each other.

He's calling to his mate.

Are you sure?

Wait for it.

[loud roaring]

See?

They found each other.

[♪♪♪]

[sighs]

She's very appealing.

Kate and I binge-watched Suits
over the weekend.

I love that phrase.

"Binge-watch."

Tell us
about her, Harry.

Yes.

Is she just
like Rachel?

Ambitious, shrewd,

full of moxie?

Will you please stop?

I'm just having
a bit of a giggle.

Yeah, she's
everything.

She's-she's talented,

she's brilliant, she's funny.

And?

And... what?

She's American,
she's divorced,

her mum is black.

She makes Wallis Simpson
look like Dame Judi Dench.

Oh, come now.

The family's evolved
since those days.

Has it?

What about the world?

Think of what
we went through

because I was
a commoner.

Are you ready for this?

[♪♪♪]

What did you do,
did you bathe in a swamp?

Um...

Kind of.

All right,
who was it?

Because you don't
mess your hair up

for just anyone.

Okay, you can't say a word.

Oh, my day just
got so much better.

Look, seriously,

not a soul, Neal.

Hand to God.

[whispering]
I was in Botswana

with Prince Harry.

[snorts]

Michael Jackson's son?

[splutters] What? No!

Prince of England Harry.

Oh-- Oh!
What?

-Yeah.
-What's he like?

[sighing]
That's the thing.

Oh, he's amazing.

I mean, he's so sweet,
and fun, and funny.

Sexy?

Hells, yeah.

He's got the whole manly-man
meets sensitive thing,

and he's so...

gentle.

And then so kind.

Shoot.

What?

-You really like him.
-No.

No, no, no, honey.

You do not want
to end up royal roadkill.

You've seen The Crown ?
What they put people through?

Yeah.

No, I know.

I mean, you're right.

You're completely right.

This cannot be anything
more than a fling.

I'm just going
to keep it together.

And besides,

strong women
do not let their lives

revolve around
a man, right?

I certainly
do not.

Right.

Glass ceilings,
not glass slippers.

Head, get on straight.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Hi.

I know it's late there.

I just wanted to, um...

I just wanted to say

I had a great time with you
this weekend,

but the thing is--

I'm in London
and you're in Toronto?

Yeah.

Long distance never works?

Exactly.

Yeah, well,
we'll always have Botswana.

And it was
a wonderful few days.

Just...

so wonderful.

I'll never forget it
for the rest of my life,

but I think we should just
let it be what it was,

and no more.

[knock on trailer door]

Sorry,

I think they're
calling me to set.

Just a sec.

I had to bring these myself.

Do you have any idea

how much they charge
for delivery?

[♪♪♪]

[door opens]

Wait!

Wait, wait, wait!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

We were going to surprise you.

I can't believe
they let you do this to them.

Well, we've spent
a lot of time together

the last few days.

You should
feel honored.

They don't just take to anyone.

They look so cute.

I'm sorry I'm late.

It was such a long day.

It's fine.

No. I wanted to be here.

It's your last night.

About that...

I got you something.

Harry...

It's like yours.

Exactly.

Every time I see you
on Instagram,

or you see me on Tattler ,

it will feel like
we're together,

like a secret message.

I love it.

Aw...

Thank you.

Well, I have a gift for you.

You have been cooped up
in this house

for five days straight.

The crew is having
a Halloween party at Soho.

We're going.

I don't know if that's
such a good idea.

Right now,

it's like we're having
a secret affair, and...

Mm-hmm.

If the press finds out,

they'll do whatever
they can to break us up.

Yeah.

[soft knock on door]

I'm way ahead of you.

Come in!

Wait for it.

Cinderella...

You shall... go to the ball.

[♪♪♪]

Yeah, your friend has
quite the sense of humor.

Don't worry.

I'll kiss you later,

and turn you back
into a prince.

Oh, please do.

It would be an honor to snog
the first female president.

Eight more days, baby!

[laughing and humming along]

You are
a good dancer.

Oh, yeah.

For a frog, you know.

[♪♪♪]

Vodka Red Bull, please.

Yo, yo, Prince Harry!

How you doin'?

Hey, hey,
take a selfie with us.

Sorry, guys, I can't do it.

What, you're
too good for us, or--

No, no, no,
it's not like that.

It's, uh...

Let me buy you a drink.

I remember when you were
in the army,

and the papers
made it look like

you were flying
all those Apaches.

You know what I heard?

They put you
in the co-pilot's seat

because you couldn't
handle it,

and you just sat there
in the cockpit

making noises
the whole time.

[cackling]

[imitating machine guns]

What's going on
over here?

I thought Canadians

were supposed to be
super friendly.

See, that's the problem
with the whole royal family,

you think you're
entitled to everything.

Well, guess what?

Your grandma can kiss my ass.

Now, that's
enough of that.

Meghan...

I'm sorry.

I didn't know it was you.

Why should that
even matter?

[camera app clicks]

I think it's time
for us to go.

Yeah, I think
you're right.

[Harry's cell phone rings]

[Meghan's cell phone chimes]

It's the Palace.

It's my publicist.

Hello?

Hello?

The Gossip Column .

The Daily Star .

I see.

I see.

Thanks for calling.

Get ready for the crazy.

[groans in exasperation]

[shutters snapping]

Meghan! Meghan!

Is it true about you
and Prince Harry?

Is it true?

On The Tig ,

Ms. Markle advocates
women's rights,

laments Brexit,

is critical
of the American president.

Whatever even is
The Tig ?

It's just a lifestyle blog.

Tignanello's her favorite wine.

Italian plonk?

Your Highness,

would you consider

asking her
to shut down the blog?

It's rather...

Not a chance in hell.

That blog's
part of her identity.

Perhaps
she could keep it

to, uh, fashion tips,
and make-up.

The reason she puts
that stuff on there

is to draw girls into
bigger, deeper conversations.

It's a community of inspiration.

Oh, bloody hell,

you'll be
doing yoga next.

I need you with me
on this, Will.

He can't be.

We all have to live
by the same rules.

If she's your girl,
she can't have opinions.

At least not in public.

In private, you have
a lot of opinions, darling.

Yes, yes,
she certainly does.

Well, thank you, gentlemen.

Harry, come on.

You know neutrality's
part of the deal.

[Robert Gravesend]:
It's part of the magic.

Never emboldened,

never embroiled
in the mess of politics,

or a passing fad.

To stay above the fray.

Ever stable,

always consistent.

It is our duty, my boy.

Like it or not,

this is our fate

as part of Great Britain's
constitution.

Another political
branch of government

may throw around
their opinions and passions,

and endorse Italian wine
willy-nilly.

But not us.

We cannot.

The monarchy
must remain dignified.

Dignified.

Yes, indeed.

Why not say what
you really mean?

It's not just
that she's opinionated,

divorced,

and an actress.

It's that
she's African-American.

Oh, Harry.

Her heritage is a matter
of historical consequence,

yes, of course, it is.

But do I care personally?

Only insofar as it affects
your happiness.

And she makes me happy,
so to hell with tradition!

I have to ask,

is rocking the boat part of
the appeal here, my boy?

You do love
pissing off The Firm.

You'd know why I feel
the way I do if you met her.

I think Kate and I
should meet her,

and sooner,
rather than later.

They're only
a few months in.

How do we know
it's going to last?

No.

We should meet her.

Include her a bit.

This life isn't
for everyone.

If she can't handle it,

it's better for both of them
to figure it out now.

Are you nervous?

I think anyone
would be.

Hello there.

Pleasure.

Please, don't ever
curtsey to us again.

We're so happy to have you here.

Oh, thank you so much.

It's so nice
to meet you both.

Hi.

Well, hello there.

I'm George.

Hi, George.

I'm Meghan.

You're pretty.

Thank you.

Ooh, easy there, kid, eh?

She's taken.

[laughing]

[chuckling]

Harry's wonderful
with the children.

He really is.

That's our Harry.

He's always been
a big kid.

[chuckling]

Annabella, was it?

Please, call me Bella.

Bella.

That's a lovely name.

"Beautiful" in Italian.

In any language.

Bella helped me so much
when I first got here.

She grew up in this world.

You want her
on your side, believe me.

Good to know.

[children yawning]

Someone's ready for a nap.

[chuckles fondly]

Let's take them up.

Bye.

I just want to say

I have never
seen Harry so happy.

And what makes Harry happy
makes all of us happy.

We'll support both of you
however we can.

Right, Will?

Of course.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Say bye.

This must be
so exciting for you.

I imagine with all
the heightened attention,

you'll start getting
better roles.

Well, I'm actually contracted
to a show right now,

so I won't be auditioning
for anything at the moment.

Suits , right?

You know it?

Not exactly Shakespeare,
but it's fun.

Harry and I have
watched it a few times.

Really?

Hmm.

Harry hadn't watched it
until we met.

Is that what he told you?

Then you should be flattered.

The good news is

he knew exactly
what he was getting.

Violet gave him
the whole rundown,

almost like
a mail-order bride.

Except you've already been
married once, haven't you?

Yes.

I saw online

that you did
the Jewish chair dance

at your wedding.

Did you convert
to your husband's religion,

or was that just for show?

Okay--

Relax, darling.

I'm just trying
to prepare you.

The spotlight around Harry
has always been intense.

People are going to say
all these things and more.

Cressida couldn't handle it
and neither could Chelsea.

You need to be ready.

Thank you
for the warning.

Of course.

I'm just looking out for you.

Now... let's talk
about your hair.

It's so beautiful.

How on earth did you
get it so straight?

If you'll excuse me,

I'm going to go use
the ladies' room.

Excuse me.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Everything okay?

Mm-hmm.

Your brother and Kate
seem great.

I'm glad
you think so.

So then why are you
out here in the cold?

Did Bella say something to you?

She just made it very clear
that I don't belong here,

under the guise
of looking out for me.

She's a troll.

I'm going to talk to her--

No, no, Harry.

She's not wrong.

I'm American.

I'm from California,

I'm divorced,

and, uh...

and I'm half-black.

I don't care about
any of that.

This can never be my world.

It's just how things are.

Let's fight how things are.

If anyone can, it's you and me.

You have never seen

how ugly people can get
about this.

Okay.

Then tell me.

Okay.

So there was, uh,

this one Christmas
that I'm home from college,

and I take my mom
to the Hollywood Bowl,

and we have this amazing time,

you know, just laughing,
and it's great,

and then as we're leaving,

my mom's not reversing
out of the parking space

fast enough,

and this white guy just...

he calls her a .....

It was such a violation,
you know?

Because in that little
moment of hatred,

he took away
our entire night of happiness.

And I look over at my mother...

my mom...

she's just gripping

the steering wheel,

and her eyes
are filled with tears,

and all I can
say to her is,

"It's okay, Mommy."

And then we just
drive home in silence,

because there's nothing
that you can do.

I'm so sorry.

You know, you think
that things are changing,

and then you just have to
turn on the news,

and see what's happening
in the world,

or you just have a conversation
with someone at tea,

and you see that they are
not changing fast enough.

They're not.

[paparazzi clamoring]

Doria, what do you think

of your daughter
dating Prince Harry?

I don't know
anything about that.

You're Meghan Markle's
mom, aren't you?

Please, get out of my way!

What does the Queen
think of your dreads?

What is that
supposed to mean?

Do you think she'll
let her grandson

marry a black girl?

Get the hell out of here,
or I'll call the police!

No, we're good.

You gave us exactly
what we needed.

[holding in sobs]

[gasping in distress]

Mom!
Mom, calm down.

Just... just calm down
and tell me what happened.

[clamoring of paparazzi outside]

[door lock rattling]

Mom!

Mom, I'm going to, um...

I have to call...

I have to call you back.

[door knocker banging]

There are people
outside my house!

Please send somebody.

Go away!

They're trying
to break into my house.

Please send somebody
right away!

Meghan's mum doesn't even
live in Compton.

And comparing the crime rate
in her neighborhood

to Kensington Palace?

It's ridiculous!

They're just trying
to sell papers.

No, no, this...
this is something else.

I want to make a statement.

Sir, we cannot dignify this
with a response.

You know that.

Someone tried
to break into her house.

All right,
give me a few hours.

I'll come up with
some options.

I know
what I want to say.

Start typing.

"Prince Harry is aware

"that there is
a significant curiosity

"about his private life.

"He has never
been comfortable with this,

"but has tried to develop
a thick skin

with the level of media interest
that comes with it..."

[typing]

"This past week has seen
a line crossed.

His..."

[groans]

"...girlfriend,

"Meghan Markle,

"has been subject to a wave
of abuse and harassment.

"Some of this
has been very public.

"The smear on the front page
of a national newspaper,

"the racial undertones
of comment pieces,

"the outright sexism
and racism

of social media trolls, and..."

[groans]

Do I really
have to keep reading this?

No. You just have to give me
your blessing to release it.

Release it?

Absolutely not.

It's emotional.

It-it's reactionary.

It's not what we do.

You mean it's not what you do.

If you won't put it out

as an official
Palace statement,

then I'll tweet it myself.

Is that a threat?

Yes.

I'll give you
20 minutes to decide.

Do you think he's bluffing?

No, I don't.

Come on, think about it.

You know why
he's so angry about this.

If you stand in the way

of protecting her
from the press,

he's never going to forgive you.

I wasn't aware
that he had forgiven me.

[sighing] Fine!

What do you think
about this?

Honestly?

I think it might be

the most romantic thing
I've ever read.

the press at all,

and whatever you do,

just please do not mention
me and Harry.

I don't like

how they've got you
on the run from this, Meggie.

It's not who you are.

I know.

Hiding isn't you.

Yeah.

Can you just tell
Tommy and Sam

not to accept the money?

Okay, I'll try.

Thanks, Dad.

-I love you.
-I love you, too.

[sighing]

Daddy thinks dating Harry
is going to change me.

Your daddy is proud
of who you are.

He's proud
of who you've always been.

Our baby girl

got Ivory dish soap
to change their slogan.

Yeah.

Your dad knows
how strong you are.

To the core.

[TV announcer]:
Good morning, everybody.

It is time for Pop News,

and we begin
with Kensington Palace

issuing
an unprecedented statement

asking the press
and "Internet trolls"--

I say that in quotes--

to respect Prince Harry

and his American girlfriend
Meghan Markle's privacy,

coming to her defense,

and acknowledging
their relationship

is in process.

The letter explains, quote,

"Prince Harry is worried
about Ms. Markle's safety,

"and is deeply disappointed

"that he has not been able
to protect her.

"This is not a game.

It is her life, and his."

Prince Harry says the media
has, quote, "crossed the--"

[paparazzi clamoring]

Harry, over here,
over here.

What are you
doing here?

[cameras clicking,
paparazzi clamoring]

Prince Charming,
come here.

[rings doorbell]

Hi. Mrs. Raglan, I'm--

Oh, I know who you are.

Come in, come in.

I'm so sorry.

I hoped to meet you
under better circumstances,

but, look, I can't even
begin to apologize

for everything
you've been through--

Don't waste time
feeling sorry for me.

You're going to need
all of your strength right now.

What do you mean?

She's inside her room.

You might want to bring one
of those bodyguards with you.

Hi.

Hi.

Everything okay?

Well, um,

hashtag "megharry"

is currently
trending on Twitter,

so that's exciting.

Pretty clever mash-up
of our names there.

Are you all right?

Do you care?

Of course, I care.

Yeah, 'cause I didn't think
my opinion mattered much.

What's wrong?

Well, I, uh,

I spent the entire day

asking--

no, no, begging--

my nearest
and not-so-dearest

friends and family

to turn the press away,

to refuse cold, hard cash,

and deny that Meggie
is dating Harry

because your family would not
consider that dignified.

And then

they come out with the news
themselves?

Well, actually,
it wasn't--

So my family...

my family are just what,

voiceless pawns

in this little game
we're playing?

My-my half-siblings,

who have never quite
gotten over the feeling

that my dad abandoned them,

are now able to crow
very publicly

that Daddy's little princess

is just an ambitious,
spoiled brat.

When everything
that I have done

was to abide by the needs
of your family.

A family who have always gotten
everything they've wanted,

who have never known a day
without servants, or cake,

or whatever
they bloody well fancy

at the flick
of a bejeweled wrist!

I should have
talked to you first.

Yeah, you think?

Why don't we talk about this?

Look at this statement.

Did you write it yourself?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, so then,
"Prince Harry's worried

"about Ms. Markle's safety,

"and is deeply disappointed

that he has not been able
to protect her."

That's all true.

Protect me?

What's the problem with that?

The problem is that I am not
some damsel in distress

who needs to be rescued
by her Prince Charming.

Oh, you know I didn't
mean it like that.

I have spent years

dealing with trolls

and-and death threats,

all by myself.

You know, just a part
of being in the public eye.

I've had more gun and knife
emojis tweeted at me,

and I've fought my battles.

I made peace with it,

because I am a grown-ass woman
living in a real, modern world,

and not some fragile wench
up in an ivory tower!

-My tower ain't ivory, dude!
-I know.

No, and I'm not
going to be put in one!

Do you hear me?

Yeah, it's hard not to.

I'm sorry,
but I really thought

I was doing the right thing.

You know,
let's just be honest.

We have been living
in a bubble.

Just a lovely, private,
secret bubble

that isn't real.

I mean, you're a prince.

[laughing]

Oh, God, I am not a princess.

My dad,

he had so many tax liens
filed against him

by the U.S. government,

he has had to move to Mexico.

I mean, my brother
was just arrested

for holding a gun
to his girlfriend's head,

and my sister is currently
threatening to write a book

about what a pushy bitch I am.

Yeah.

This isn't a fairy tale.

This is a soap opera.

Now, hang on a minute,

you want to talk
about soap operas?

Have you read anything
about my family?

[sighs]

The point is

you are still looking

for your happily ever after,

and that's fair.

But I already
believed in that.

I walked
down the aisle once,

and it didn't work.

It just doesn't work.

Fairy tales don't exist.

So, what are you saying?

I'm saying

I think

you should find someone

who wants you
to take care of them

for the rest of their life.

That's not me.

I've worked too hard
to be my own woman.

Yeah.

I was happy
before I met you,

and I'll be happy again.

Is this what you really want?

[♪♪♪]

[whispers] Harry...

What?

Please.

Please.

[♪♪♪]

[paparazzi clamoring]

Harry, Harry,
come here.

What happened in there,
Prince Harry, huh?

Prince Harry, what were you
talking about in there?

[♪♪♪]

[knock on bedroom door]

I'd like to talk to you.

Mom, I'm sorry,
I just need to be alone.

Girl, get your ass out here
right now.

I want you to see something.

What is it?

Diana's funeral.

Mom, this is not the time.

Just sit.

They made that poor little boy
walk behind his mother's casket.

They took pictures

in the worst moment in his life.

Look at him.

Look at that
poor little boy

just holding it all in.

It's awful.

I know the story, Mom.

But have you
thought about it

from his perspective?

That boy lost his mother

to the paparazzi.

They chased her
into the tunnel that night.

Yeah--

And after the crash,

when she lay there dying,
what did they do?

They took pictures.

And now those same people
are attacking you,

and you expect him
not to try and protect you?

That boy has kept
a stiff upper lip

his entire life,

and the first time
he tries to fight back--

I break up with him.

Exactly.

How can you blame him,
protecting the woman he loves?

[gasps]

The woman he loves.

Aw, honey,

that boy loves you.

I know that
as sure as I know anything.

The question is,

what are you
going to do about it?

It's going to voicemail.

I'm gonna go get him.

Damn right you are,

and I'm gonna drive you.

Wait, what about
the paparazzi?

We'll run 'em over
if we have to.

Come on.

The James Bond look

How many more
bloody costume changes

will be required this weekend?

Is it too much to ask
for you to at least smile?

It is my sister's wedding.

Meghan took a red-eye

from Toronto

so she could be my date
for this wedding.

Suddenly, she was benched.

It's "no ring, no bring,"

that's all.

The press practically
trampled the bride

at Skippy's wedding last month

to get shots of you and Meghan.

It would have totally
eclipsed Pippa.

The only reason
I'm here

is because it's your sister.

I just wish I could be
bloody normal for once.

[chuckles]

Oh, boo-bloody-hoo.

Now, will you please
dance with me?

[♪♪♪]

Oh, Harry.

How are you,
you beautiful boy.

Lady Victoria, Lady Sarah.

What a shame you couldn't
bring your new girlfriend.

We were very much
looking forward to meeting her.

[quietly] Ignore her,
she's drunk.

Are you really wearing that?

What?

You need to take it off.

Don't be ridiculous.

Do you know what that is?

Of course she does.
It's a Blackamoor.

It's a symbol of our
imperialist domination

in Africa,

something we should be
bloody well apologizing for,

not flaunting it.

Well, well, Harry,

you really did study
history of art at Eton.

Well, at least you're not
as stupid as they say.

You're the one
who's being stupid now.

Take it off.

It's my favorite brooch,
and it's beautiful.

And it is unacceptable.

No, what's unacceptable
is you dating this woman.

This whole thing
is a disgrace

to Queen and country.

Have you heard
of Mendel's Law?

Of course, he should enjoy
some slap and tickle

with a ..... in private
if he wants to--

but to do so in public--

I can't believe
that you--

[muttering] No, stop,
it's not worth it--

How could you do that

to your poor
grandmother--

That's quite enough.

Oh, dear.

You've had
too much to drink.

You're making an arse
of yourselves,

and embarrassing
our whole family.

It's time for
you both to leave.

Charles, I am so...
so, so sorry.

I didn't mean
to cause offense.

She has nothing
to apologize for.

This family will be lucky

to survive the decade,
let alone the century.

I'm sorry
about that, my boy.

It's not
your fault.

It's this whole damn
institution that's wrong.

The truth is,

the only way this family
gets out of the century

is if you lot start listening.

I agree.

My mother started
listening to me,

eventually,

and I intend to start
listening to you now.

Harry...

go get the woman you love.

Bring her here.

I want to meet her.
We both do.

And if anyone has
a problem with that,

they can talk
to the first in line.

[♪♪♪]

No, the church service
was earlier.

He's at the black tie
celebration now.

You know, I know that
it's not his fault

that I can't go,

but I kind of feel like
I'm not--

[Doria]: Stop.

I don't want to hear
any whining.

Feeling sorry for yourself

isn't going to do anyone
any good.

You're right.

No more whining.

[incoming call beeps]

Oh, Mom, it's Harry.

I'm going to call you back.
I love you.

Love you, too, Flower.

You better be having
a miserable time.

I certainly was...

but it just got better.

What are you doing here?

Throw on a dress, gorgeous,

we're going to a party.

[♪♪♪]

You ready for this?

Yeah.

Showtime.

[♪♪♪]

Dad, this is Meghan.

Meghan.

What a pleasure.

It's an honor to meet you,
Your Highness.

You look wonderful.

Thank you.

This is my wife,
Camilla.

We're so glad
you're here.

Thank you,
Your Highness.

Harry...

don't just stand there,

get this fine lady
a gin and tonic.

Right.

[quietly]
Make it strong.

Shall I get the usual,
a dirty martini?

Harry!

I love a dirty martini.

[laughing]

Well, whatever you're doing

to put the ruddy glow
back in my boy's cheeks,

keep it up.

[whispering] I've never
seen him so happy.

It must have been so hard

being a struggling
actress in L.A.

[laughs] Oh, man.

Um, well,
I'll tell you,

when I first
started auditioning,

I was so broke.

I couldn't even afford
to fix my car,

so when my locks broke,

and then the clicker
stopped working,

I literally
had to climb

into the front seat
of my car

via the trunk

every day

for five months.

[laughter]

I mean,
my neighbors thought

I was absolutely insane.

So you and Harry

are getting
quite serious, then?

We're having fun.

I mean, I don't want
to overthink it.

California girls
don't have to worry

about the pressure
of having kids

like other people
aged 35.

36, right?

Bella...

Stop.

I'm just
being real.

Her biological clock
is at 11:59.

Come on, Meghan,

I need another drink.

Oh, I'm sorry about that.

Bella's my friend,

but she can be a bit
of a back-and-front.

What does that mean?

You can look it up later.

[chuckles]

Us commoners
have to stick together.

Oh, another round, please.

Coming up,
Your Highness.

You know, all her talk
about biological clocks,

it makes me feel like
I'm nothing but a baby machine.

I know Will doesn't
see me that way,

but let's face it,

my most important contribution
to this country

is my reproductive ability.

It's bizarre.

One dirty martini,

one virgin Collins.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

You're not drinking?

[quietly] Like I said,

baby machine.

-Oh, my gosh!
-Shh!

My ladies in waiting
don't even know.

The Firm insists on
rolling these things out

in just the right way.

Here's
to number three.

To number three.

Harry will be so thrilled.

I-I think sometimes

of everything that's
been done to you two,

how they told you
who you could marry.

You should have been able
to be together from the start.

But then you
wouldn't exist,

and the world would be

a far less
wonderful place.

Morning, gorgeous.

Morning, handsomeness.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

You are so beautiful.

Do you want
to have children?

Uh... definitely.

Someday. No rush.

You see...

that's not
the case for me.

I mean, if I want
to have kids,

I need to start
right now.

I mean,
my biological clock--

especially if we wanted
to have more than one,

and then where
would we live?

Do we live in Toronto?
Do we live in London?

Well, I mean,
not Toronto, obviously.

Obviously?

Yeah, we'll live here at KP,

right next to Will and Kate.

Hmm?

Mm-mm.

[sighs]

I love Will and Kate,

but you know we're not going
to be like them, right?

What do you mean?

I mean, their lives
fit together so easily,

and our picture is not
going to look like that.

I mean, our lives are always
going to be messy.

So what?

I like messy.
I'm good at it.

Women in your world

are expected
to give up their careers

and their identity

for the honor and duty
of being royal.

I want children

and a career.

I never wanted to be
a lady who lunches.

I always wanted to be
a woman who works.

Being a mother is work.

It's hard work.

Yes, it is.

I mean, and your mom
was amazing.

She gave so much

to be present
for you and Wills,

and that took the place
of a career for her,

when she was young.

I'm not.

I'm about to be 36.

I need to start my family now,

and for me to be
the kind of mother

that I need to be,

I just have to know

that motherhood is not going
to be holding me back

from my full potential.

[rinsing dishes]
Yeah, no, I hear you.

Um, we'll figure it out.

At a certain point,

we're going to have to stop
saying, "We'll figure it out,"

and actually figure it out.

Okay.

Well, I've got to go
to this thing, so...

Wait, what was the thing?

Just a royal thing.

Yes,

we need to have
this conversation,

but, uh... not now.

Okay?

Not right now.

[sighs]

So?

What do you think it was?

I pushed him too hard.

I feel like a jerk.

No.

No, far from it.

You're a grown woman
who loves her boyfriend

and you want a family.

Did he say where
he was going?

No.

Darling,

do you know where Harry went?

William...

can you tell me?

I think he just needs
some time alone,

what with the anniversary
coming up.

The...

Of Diana's death.

August 31st.

[jug clattering]

Damn it.

The boys never got to say
a proper goodbye.

She called them
from Paris, and--

We were rough-housing
in the garden.

We gave her some crappy,
"Hi, Mom, gotta go," stuff

on the phone.

The last thing
we ever said to her,

we were annoyed.

We couldn't be bothered.

I don't think Harry's
ever forgiven himself.

What can I do?

Keep him
distracted,

I'd say.

The only thing that seemed
to work for him is...

getting away from it all.

[♪♪♪]

We are thrilled
to have you back so soon,

Your Highness.

It was Meghan's idea.

I wanted to see
the work you're doing

here at Sentebale.

It's so incredibly
important.

Thank you,

but we couldn't do it

without the support
of Prince Harry.

He's been a Godsend,
just like his mom.

I had the honor
of meeting her

when she came

for the land mine removal
project in Angola.

I have never seen
a greater act of bravery

than the day Diana walked
across an active minefield

to bring attention
to the problem,

and to think
we would lose her

just a few months later.

I'm so sorry.

Would you like to meet
some of the children?

Oh...

I would love to.

[♪♪♪]

[kids giggling]

The best tool
against HIV

is education.

There's a lot
of misinformation

about how the virus
is transmitted.

So we hold
week-long camps

where we train
the children

to become
"expert patients."

They take what they learned
into their community,

and keep themselves
and their families safe.

Prince Harry,

there's someone who would
like to meet you.

This is Reboho.

Hi there.

Reboho's very strong.

She cares for
her two younger brothers.

She's the lady
of the house.

Where are her parents?

She lost them both
to the epidemic

when she was 12.

I'm so sorry.

Harry...

do you mind if we go
back to the camp

for a while?

Yeah.
Yeah, sure.

You will not be forgotten.

Thank you.

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.

Do you want
to talk about it?

Talk about what?

The little girl
at Sentebale.

What is there to say?

She's just...

lost so much, so young.

And I'm doing what I can

to make
that situation better.

Talking about it
doesn't help anything.

It's...

It's not going to bring
her parents back.

But it's okay
to feel sad about it.

Especially
at this time of year.

What is this?

You don't need to be
strong with me.

I know that your family

is supposed to represent
the strength and dignity

of an entire nation,

but that is a lot to carry

for a 12-year-old boy
who's just lost--

Okay, I don't want
to talk about this.

The 20th anniversary
is coming up.

Mm-hmm, yeah.

So... So what?

So talk to me.

Tell me about her.

I would love to know more
about your mother--

You want to know
about the real Diana?

-Yes.
-Just like everyone else?

Not like everyone else.

Yeah, well, she wasn't a saint,
I'll tell you that!

No matter what that lady
at Sentebale wants to think!

She told me
what the name means,

"Sentebale."

"Forget me not."

The charity

that you started
to honor your mother,

her bravery,

her indomitable spirit--

Walking through
those minefields

was a bloody PR stunt,
for God's sake!

She laughed about it later,

said she was probably
the safest person in Angola

that day!

Everyone wants her to be
this bloody angel,

and she played that up
for the cameras, but...

but in real life,
she was complicated,

and sad!

And she could be
difficult.

And funny.

She had a wicked
sense of humor, and--

And then she was gone.

Wow.

You really have been
on a TV soap for seven years.

You know what,

I'm not going to let you
pull me into a fight.

I know what this is.

Yeah?

Yeah, you want me to get
all emotional about it?

You want me to bare my soul?

Well, guess what?

You're an actress,
not my damn therapist!

I know all about those!

Harry...

Harry.

Harry!

Harry!

[lion snarling]

-Harry--
-Shh!

[snarls]

[roaring]

[♪♪♪]

[sobbing quietly]

[♪♪♪]

Hi.

Hi.

Have you slept?

I've just been
lying here, thinking.

I don't need my life to be
this perfect royal picture.

I just need you.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

[♪♪♪]

[Robert]: The official
engagement announcement

won't be for a few more weeks,

which gives us a little time
to ramp up and sort PR.

Mm-hmm.

In the meantime,
I need to know everything.

Everything?

Everything.

All the skeletons
in your closet.

If I don't know about them,
I can't help.

There's not much
to tell, really.

Let's start
with your sister.

She recently sold
a tell-all book proposal,

called, My Sister:

The Pushy Princess .

In all fairness,
I can be pushy.

And your half-brother
in Oregon,

a domestic incident
with a handgun.

The charges were dropped,
if it helps.

It doesn't.

Your father,
hiding out in Mexico,

that's wonderful.

Okay. I could do
with less sarcasm.

I'm not being
sarcastic.

I wish the rest of your family
would follow his lead

and keep a low profile.

Now, what about your ex-husband?

We're on good terms.

Although...

he just sold a TV show

about a guy
whose ex-wife

marries...

into the royal family.

[clears throat]

Anything else?

Drunken flings?

Experimentation at uni?

No, no... no.

That's good, then.

Very well.

We've timed
the engagement announcement

to coincide with
the favorable article

and cover of Vanity Fair .

I happen to have the proofs
right here.

Really? May I see?

I think they're
quite flattering.

They've air-brushed out
my freckles.

Hmm, that's common.

I'm not okay with that.

It needs to be the real me,
or not at all.

Our relationship
with this publication

is extremely important.

I'm not going to dictate terms.

Well, then I will.

This is just
very important to me.

I'll speak to them.

Thank you.

Like I said,

pushy.

Hmm, indeed.

I think your sister's book

is going to do rather well.

[chuckles]

You're moving to Canada?

That's where Meghan's job is.

What about
all your charity work?

Well, there are people in need
wherever you go.

Toronto, L.A.

Well, Canada's one thing,

Mother's on the currency there,

but you'd move
to California

for this woman?

It's not for her.

It's...

it's for me.

[♪♪♪]

Hmm.

[scoffs]

Tell them
I'll see them in court.

Cut!

That was awesome,
Meghan,

but we need to make
a lighting adjustment.

Stand by for a hot second, 'kay?

Actually...
I was wondering

if I could get
a change on that line.

I feel like I say that
in every episode.

Oh. Well, I can talk
to the writer,

see what we can come up with.

Great. Thank you.

Hey.

-Hey!
-This is my niece, Helen.

Hello, Helen.

Hi.

What a pleasure
to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Oh, my goodness,

I've heard wonderful things
about you from your uncle,

who just brags about you
all the time.

Will you sign this for me?

Of course I will.

There you go.

Is it true you're going
to be a princess?

[chuckles]

It's okay.

[quietly] Mm-hmm.

But you can't
tell anybody, okay?

Can I tell my mom?

Oh, yes.

Absolutely.

Always tell your mom
everything.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Oh, my God,

she is so cute.

I know, right?

But isn't she a little bit
young to be watching Suits ?

Honey, she doesn't
watch Suits .

That's not why
she's a fan.

For a little girl like her,

someone like you
marrying into the royal family,

that's huge.

Oh, okay, all right.

Come on now--

I'm serious.

This is going to change the way
people see the world.

Okay!

We're good to go
on lighting,

and I got that
new line for you.

Oh, great, thanks.

This time, try, "Tell him
I'm taking him to court."

Harry?

[door opens]

Oh!

[chuckling]

Wow.

How was your day?

I quit my job.

Oh, no.

How are we going
to afford this place?

Harry, I'm not kidding.

This is for real.

I told the producers today
that this is my last season.

You're serious.

Why?

Because I want to move
to London with you.

I want to live
in the palace,

and do the whole thing,

the whole royal picture.

No way.

You're not going to give up
your career for me!

No, but I'm not
doing this for you.

Listen...

I met this
little girl today,

and she made me
realize

that the best way for me

to make a difference
in this world

is by marrying you,

being by your side.

So it's a really good thing

that I can tolerate
your terribly bad company.

For your information...

you are in love with me.

Very much.

Deeply.

You sure about
taking on the circus?

I am.

You'll have to become
a British citizen.

And learn how to drive

on the wrong side
of the road.

There's one more thing
you'll need to do.

What's that?

Meet my granny.

Don't worry about
the citizenship test.

I can give you a few tips
on how to cheat,

and not get caught.

Seriously?

I mean, yeah.

How do you think
I got through Eton?

Harry!

I'm kidding.

I certainly
hope so.

Ah, but speaking
of cheating,

which of these royal wives
was executed for adultery

by Henry VIII?

You won't need
to have affairs.

I'll keep you busy.

[chuckling]

What you do need
to worry about today,

a little bit,

is the Royal
Marriages Act of 1772.

Right, in which
it is stated that

in order to get married,

we need the permission
of the Queen.

The Queen of England,
Great Britain,

Scotland, Wales,
Northern Ireland,

the Commonwealth.

Your gran.

She'll have to write

some sort of official
Palace permission slip,

and without it,

fifth in line
to the throne

cannot marry.

So this isn't just

about how
you love me?

This is also about the Queen

being ready to make history.

And if she
doesn't like me,

then this cozy little
tea with Granny

is a deal-breaker.

Potentially.

Or it's a history-maker.

You'll be fine.

I bet that's what
King Edward said

to Wallis Simpson.

And Margaret,

when she wanted to marry
the divorced equerry,

and your pa,

when he wanted
to marry Camilla.

Listen, my grandmother
isn't the same person

she was back then,

and this isn't
the same country.

I hope you're right.

[♪♪♪]

How much do you know
about corgis?

Hmm, nothing. Why?

She loves to talk
about her corgis.

Now you tell me.

[♪♪♪]

I'm told you're an actress.

Yes, ma'am, I am.

She's really
talented, Gran.

Are you involved
with that program, The Crown ?

No, ma'am.

Oh, good.

Then I won't have to
throw you in the Tower.

That's a joke.

I'm not sure why
they had to make it

while one is
still alive, though.

[corgi barks]

Oh!

Hello!

Monty, down!

No, it's okay, I love dogs.
I have two rescues myself.

That's really something.

They don't take
to just anyone, you know.

So, Gran,

we need to talk about
the Royal Marriages Act.

You need my permission
to get married.

Yes.

So... do we?

I believe
the real question is

do you want it?

Yeah, of course, we do.

Yes, but does Meghan want it?

I'm asking her, dear.

Uh, I'm not sure
I understand, ma'am.

As everyone in the family
can tell you,

for every privilege
this life affords,

there is an equal sacrifice.

My grandson and I
were born into it.

We didn't have
any choice in the matter.

But you do.

Now, once you go
down this road,

your life will
never be your own.

Do you think
you're really ready?

I don't know.

I know that if I do this,

the entire world will scrutinize
everything about me,

every choice I've made,
good and bad,

my family,

my heritage,

and I know that

especially because of that,

I will always
have the responsibility

of standing for something
bigger than myself,

and that's terrifying.

But I also know

that I love your grandson.

So with all
due respect, ma'am,

I really don't think
I do have a choice.

[♪♪♪]

I'd like to show you
something.

This is what
I wanted to show you.

How beautiful.

I've always loved
this portrait

of our ancestor,
Queen Charlotte,

because the painter, Ramsay,

didn't try to hide
her African heritage.

Oh, yes.

You're of mixed race, Harry.

So am I.

Many of her portraits
tried to hide that fact,

but this one
is most authentic.

Much like you.

Thank you.

So... we have
your blessing?

Of course you do.

Welcome to the family,
my dear.

I can't believe
the corgis liked you.

For 33 years,

all they've done
is bark at me.

All I wanted to do was just
wrap my arms around her

and give her
a big American bear hug,

and I just kept thinking,

"Does the Queen of England hug?"

[laughs]

How long
until we eat?

Hmm...

Let's see...

The chicken's just about ready.

And, uh...

Harry?

Right here.

I didn't really do this

the proper way the first time.

Will you marry me?

[gasps]

The center diamond
is from Botswana.

[whispering]
It's so beautiful.

And these two stones
were my mother's,

from a brooch
she always wore

on her left lapel,
over her heart.

She wouldn't just
have approved of you,

she would have loved you.

And if you let me,

I promise I'll spend
the rest of my life--

Can I please
just say "yes" now?

Yes.

Yes!

[laughing]

[Queen Elizabeth]:
Good afternoon.

My first order of business

is to announce

that my grandson,

His Royal Highness,
Prince Henry of Wales,

will be marrying a divorced,

African-American lady.

Everybody on board?

Lovely.

[♪♪♪]

I only hope

that I'm alive long enough

to meet some more beautiful
little great-grandchildren,

and give them all
some jolly big hugs.

[♪♪♪]

Yup.
