Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,965 --> 00:00:09,342
[male voice1]
So, yes, so when we come out of here,
2
00:00:09,426 --> 00:00:12,262
we'll go all the way
to the West Side Highway.
3
00:00:12,345 --> 00:00:14,097
But as soon as we get on it,
4
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:18,226
if you can grab me the lane all the way
to the left against the center median.
5
00:00:18,309 --> 00:00:20,395
-[voice2 on walkie-talkie] Not a problem.
-[voice1] Um, southbound.
6
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:23,148
[male voice3] They're gonna be waiting
when you get in, you'll see.
7
00:00:23,231 --> 00:00:24,357
[male voice1] Oh yeah,
they're camped out now.
8
00:00:24,441 --> 00:00:25,316
[voice3] Yeah.
9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:26,526
[male voice4 outside the car] You're late.
10
00:00:26,609 --> 00:00:27,902
[voice1] Unfortunately.
11
00:00:27,986 --> 00:00:29,279
[Meghan] Thank you.
12
00:00:31,030 --> 00:00:33,867
-[Meghan] Okay. Hello!
-[Harry] Weee!
13
00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:35,201
-[Harry] Hey man, how are you doing?
-[voice1] How are you guys?
14
00:00:35,285 --> 00:00:36,202
[voice1] I'm well. Good morning.
15
00:00:36,286 --> 00:00:38,079
-[Meghan] Never a dull moment.
-[voice1] Oh no.
16
00:00:52,427 --> 00:00:54,763
-[muttered indistinctly]
-[Meghan] Mm?
17
00:00:54,846 --> 00:00:55,889
Do you know how long the drive is?
18
00:00:55,972 --> 00:00:56,890
Maybe like, um,
19
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:01,936
I don't know now with our detour…
20
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:04,064
Brad, how long is the drive gonna be?
21
00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:06,608
[Brad] I looked before,
20-something minutes.
22
00:01:06,691 --> 00:01:07,692
Okay.
23
00:01:07,776 --> 00:01:10,361
[Brad] Can we just double check
cause I wasn't getting good service?
24
00:01:15,617 --> 00:01:17,827
-Do we have that pap on the scooter again?
-[Brad] Yes, ma'am.
25
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:20,246
-Oh we do, really? Same guy?
-[Brad] Same guy.
26
00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:21,164
Oh my gosh.
27
00:01:21,247 --> 00:01:22,665
[Brad] Watched him going to this park.
28
00:01:22,749 --> 00:01:24,167
He's going to be with us?
29
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:25,835
[Brad] Yes, sir. He was just ahead.
30
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:28,755
[Harry] There's a lot of people who think,
31
00:01:28,838 --> 00:01:31,174
"They've got such
a problem with paparazzi."
32
00:01:33,718 --> 00:01:36,763
There was um, the guys
in the basement of the building too,
33
00:01:36,846 --> 00:01:38,473
as we were doing that walk,
they were recording
34
00:01:38,556 --> 00:01:39,849
just so you're aware.
35
00:01:41,392 --> 00:01:45,230
[Harry] Back in my mom's days,
it was physical harassment.
36
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:49,442
They had cameras in your face,
following you, chasing you.
37
00:01:50,151 --> 00:01:52,529
[wistful music playing]
38
00:01:52,612 --> 00:01:53,863
-[Meghan] Still following us?
-[Brad] No.
39
00:01:54,656 --> 00:01:57,158
This pap.
The worst case scenario, our safety first.
40
00:01:57,242 --> 00:01:59,369
Worst case scenario,
we are going from one garage to another.
41
00:01:59,452 --> 00:02:01,287
Like this route.
42
00:02:02,038 --> 00:02:04,374
[Harry] Paparazzi still harass people.
43
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:08,336
The harassment really
exists more online now.
44
00:02:09,546 --> 00:02:12,549
Once the photographs are out
and the story is then put next to it,
45
00:02:12,632 --> 00:02:14,843
then comes the social media harassment.
46
00:02:18,429 --> 00:02:21,641
To see another woman
in my life who I love,
47
00:02:21,724 --> 00:02:25,270
go through
this feeding frenzy. That's hard.
48
00:02:28,898 --> 00:02:31,985
It is basically,
the hunter versus the prey.
49
00:02:40,118 --> 00:02:42,203
We'll be with friends
in less than ten minutes.
50
00:02:42,287 --> 00:02:43,371
Yeah.
51
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,132
[theme music playing]
52
00:03:30,001 --> 00:03:33,922
[theme music playing]
53
00:03:36,382 --> 00:03:39,177
[man] Sorry, do you mind leaning
forward just one second. Thank you.
54
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:41,262
[clears throat]
55
00:03:48,811 --> 00:03:51,564
[woman] Can you just start off
by introducing yourself to us?
56
00:03:51,648 --> 00:03:56,361
Sure. My name is Doria
and I'm Meghan's mom.
57
00:03:56,444 --> 00:04:02,450
And um, the last five years
has been challenging.
58
00:04:02,533 --> 00:04:03,534
Yeah.
59
00:04:04,369 --> 00:04:07,455
[female interviewer] How does it feel
to be here talking about that today?
60
00:04:07,538 --> 00:04:11,251
I'm ready to have
my voice heard, that's for sure.
61
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:16,631
A little bit in my experience,
you know, as her mom. Yeah.
62
00:04:18,132 --> 00:04:23,471
[woman] Do you remember, [laughs]
when Meg told you she was dating Harry?
63
00:04:24,889 --> 00:04:30,144
I do. And when she told me,
we were on the phone and she says,
64
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:33,147
[whispering] "Mommy,
I'm going out with Prince Harry."
65
00:04:33,231 --> 00:04:34,732
And I started whispering,
66
00:04:34,816 --> 00:04:36,818
[whispering] "Oh my God."
67
00:04:36,901 --> 00:04:40,446
She says, "You can't tell anyone." And so
it was from the beginning, it was sort of,
68
00:04:40,530 --> 00:04:43,241
[whispering] "Oh my God.
Nobody can, you know…"
69
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:48,997
Mm-hmm and I remember
when I first met him too.
70
00:04:49,831 --> 00:04:54,085
You know, he was just like six one,
handsome man with red hair.
71
00:04:55,003 --> 00:04:59,507
Really great manners.
He was just really nice.
72
00:04:59,590 --> 00:05:01,801
And they looked really happy together.
73
00:05:02,385 --> 00:05:04,679
Yeah, like he was the one.
74
00:05:08,683 --> 00:05:13,604
Once it was announced
that they were together,
75
00:05:13,688 --> 00:05:17,400
it seemed kind of, like a novelty.
76
00:05:19,027 --> 00:05:20,153
[man on TV] It's official…
77
00:05:20,236 --> 00:05:21,446
[instrumental music playing]
78
00:05:21,529 --> 00:05:25,575
…American actress, Meghan Markle,
is the new girlfriend of Prince Harry.
79
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:30,955
[woman on TV] Prince Harry, it seems
like he's fallen for something rumored.
80
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:33,624
Her name is Meghan Markle.
81
00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:34,667
[woman on TV] She's on the show Suits
82
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:36,586
in case you are wondering like,
"How do we know her?"
83
00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:40,256
She's the brainy beauty
who's captured Prince Harry's heart.
84
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:47,096
Actress Meghan Markle has reportedly won
the heart of royal bad boy, Prince Harry.
85
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:48,473
[crowd whooping, cheering]
86
00:05:48,556 --> 00:05:51,017
[woman] I'm so excited!
87
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:56,647
[Meghan] Right when the news broke,
I think we both felt tremendous relief.
88
00:05:58,649 --> 00:06:01,277
And the people
that I hadn't told I was dating H
89
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,654
were just texting me,
"Is it true? Oh my gosh! What?!"
90
00:06:03,738 --> 00:06:06,449
And people were just overjoyed.
91
00:06:07,950 --> 00:06:11,746
When I saw the headlines,
I was happy for her.
92
00:06:12,455 --> 00:06:14,123
It looked like a fairy tale.
93
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:19,003
My sister called me and said,
"Do you know who Meghan is with?"
94
00:06:19,087 --> 00:06:21,214
I think she's with Prince Harry.
95
00:06:21,297 --> 00:06:23,049
And I said, "What?!"
96
00:06:23,132 --> 00:06:25,051
My phone just started going crazy.
97
00:06:25,134 --> 00:06:26,427
I was like "What is happening?"
98
00:06:26,511 --> 00:06:28,805
And then, it was like this tidal wave.
99
00:06:28,888 --> 00:06:31,057
[female reporter] This young lady
though is very philanthropic.
100
00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:33,392
She's also a part of the UN.
101
00:06:33,476 --> 00:06:35,269
She does a lot of charity work,
102
00:06:35,353 --> 00:06:38,022
which was probably
their original connection.
103
00:06:38,106 --> 00:06:40,650
I remember we discussed this,
"Wouldn't it be great
104
00:06:40,733 --> 00:06:44,403
if somebody already had
their identity, some successes
105
00:06:44,487 --> 00:06:49,242
and had carved their role in the world?"
106
00:06:49,325 --> 00:06:51,035
If there is a problem out there
107
00:06:51,119 --> 00:06:53,704
and we have the means
to really find the call to action
108
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:55,498
and do something about it,
109
00:06:56,082 --> 00:06:59,710
then I completely believe
that it's our responsibility to do it.
110
00:06:59,794 --> 00:07:03,214
[woman on TV] All eyes are on
that new transatlantic alliance.
111
00:07:03,297 --> 00:07:06,717
A British Prince
and his American sweetheart.
112
00:07:06,801 --> 00:07:08,553
[Meghan] There was a frenzy happening.
113
00:07:08,636 --> 00:07:11,973
It almost felt like all the things
we were nervous about, of it getting out.
114
00:07:12,557 --> 00:07:15,309
Okay, don't worry. It's fine.
115
00:07:17,019 --> 00:07:18,813
And then that very quickly changed.
116
00:07:26,487 --> 00:07:30,324
[Meghan] I remember going to get flowers,
coming out of the flower shop.
117
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:35,538
And there must have been nine or ten paps
118
00:07:35,621 --> 00:07:36,873
standing in the middle of the street
119
00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:38,291
and they are all sort of blocking the car
120
00:07:38,374 --> 00:07:40,751
and saying
"Hey, how are you doing, Meghan?"
121
00:07:40,835 --> 00:07:43,045
And I was like,
"Oh, thanks. Stay warm, guys!"
122
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:48,551
And I remember H the next
day saying, you can't talk to them.
123
00:07:49,385 --> 00:07:51,512
And I was like, "I'm just trying
to be pleasant. I don't know what to do.
124
00:07:51,596 --> 00:07:52,513
I've never dealt with this before."
125
00:07:52,597 --> 00:07:55,141
He says, "Right
but the UK media are saying you love it."
126
00:07:57,059 --> 00:07:59,395
You're smiling, you love it.
127
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:05,067
[Lucy] I remember saying
to her, "When this goes public,
128
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:07,111
it is not gonna be easy."
129
00:08:07,195 --> 00:08:12,658
The UK media are notorious
for doing whatever they can
130
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:14,327
to get a story.
131
00:08:14,410 --> 00:08:18,456
And that they go through rubbish bins,
they'll try and break into accounts.
132
00:08:18,539 --> 00:08:22,418
They will do whatever they can
to get an exclusive and make money.
133
00:08:23,085 --> 00:08:24,795
I remember she was quite shocked.
134
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:27,173
And she was like
"Really? They would do that?"
135
00:08:27,256 --> 00:08:31,010
I said, "Well, yeah. When
it's going to make them millions."
136
00:08:32,178 --> 00:08:36,432
[Meghan] It felt like all
of the UK media descended upon Toronto.
137
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:38,184
[instrumental music playing]
138
00:08:38,267 --> 00:08:40,353
My house was just surrounded.
139
00:08:42,688 --> 00:08:44,732
Just men
sitting in their cars all the time.
140
00:08:44,815 --> 00:08:47,193
Waiting for me to do anything.
141
00:08:49,362 --> 00:08:52,365
[Harry] I was hearing all
of this from thousands of miles away.
142
00:08:52,448 --> 00:08:57,495
And trying to do something
about it but being completely helpless.
143
00:08:58,996 --> 00:09:01,374
[Meghan] Then my neighbors said
they are knocking on everyone's door,
144
00:09:01,457 --> 00:09:02,583
-trying to find you.
-[camera shutters clicking]
145
00:09:03,834 --> 00:09:09,048
They had paid certain neighbors to put
a life stream camera into my backyard.
146
00:09:09,131 --> 00:09:13,010
Suddenly, it was like everything about
my life just got so much more insular.
147
00:09:13,094 --> 00:09:16,138
Like, all the curtains were pulled,
all the blinds were pulled.
148
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:17,723
It was scary.
149
00:09:19,016 --> 00:09:21,811
My face was everywhere,
my life was everywhere.
150
00:09:21,894 --> 00:09:24,272
Tabloids had taken over everything.
151
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:28,985
Long distance relationships are work,
no matter what way you slice it.
152
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:30,611
Then you add this layer?
153
00:09:30,695 --> 00:09:34,782
And look, bearing in mind you're still
discovering things about each other.
154
00:09:34,865 --> 00:09:37,159
There were things said and things written
155
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:39,412
that I had to go to her to ask.
156
00:09:39,495 --> 00:09:41,247
And, that was the hardest piece.
157
00:09:41,831 --> 00:09:46,669
And so it really accelerates
the learning curve [laughs]
158
00:09:46,752 --> 00:09:48,170
in a relationship.
159
00:09:48,963 --> 00:09:50,715
[female presenter] Tongues are wagging
needless to say,
160
00:09:50,798 --> 00:09:51,841
let's find out more about her,
161
00:09:51,924 --> 00:09:53,301
what people are saying.
162
00:09:53,384 --> 00:09:56,178
What do we know
about this mysterious woman, Paula?
163
00:10:03,853 --> 00:10:06,188
-[Meghan] Such a sweet neighborhood.
-[Doria] Yeah.
164
00:10:07,523 --> 00:10:09,984
[Doria] I remember you came home
one day from the Immaculate parties
165
00:10:10,067 --> 00:10:11,694
and said "We live over a garage."
166
00:10:11,777 --> 00:10:15,031
-I was like, "Yep, it's a great spot."
-[Meghan] It was a great--
167
00:10:17,116 --> 00:10:19,827
-[Meghan] We walked down the driveway.
-[Doria] That was our driveway.
168
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:21,829
-It was private.
-[Meghan] Oh, my gosh.
169
00:10:21,912 --> 00:10:24,290
-We had our parties back there.
-[wistful music playing]
170
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:27,084
I remember I would take a little wagon
171
00:10:27,168 --> 00:10:30,796
and come down the driveway and be
able to come back up the other side.
172
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,676
[wistful music continues]
173
00:10:43,267 --> 00:10:44,644
[Meghan] I grew up in LA,
174
00:10:45,478 --> 00:10:49,523
and I remember my mom telling me stories
about taking me to the grocery store
175
00:10:49,607 --> 00:10:51,609
and women going "Who's child is that"?
176
00:10:52,401 --> 00:10:53,694
"You must be the…"
She's like, "It's my child."
177
00:10:53,778 --> 00:10:55,780
They are like,
"You must be the nanny. Where's her mom?"
178
00:10:56,405 --> 00:10:59,200
Because I was really
fair-skinned and my mom darker.
179
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:06,290
My parents lived
in the valley until I was about two.
180
00:11:06,374 --> 00:11:12,213
When their relationship ended, she and I
moved to a 40-minute drive from there.
181
00:11:16,175 --> 00:11:20,012
At the time it was mostly a Black
community where my mom and I were living.
182
00:11:22,431 --> 00:11:25,059
[Doria] We were close to
my mom, her grandma.
183
00:11:25,142 --> 00:11:27,603
And my sister was close by.
184
00:11:28,312 --> 00:11:30,689
And my girlfriends were close by.
185
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,819
So we had a nice network of women
186
00:11:34,902 --> 00:11:39,156
who really helped me raise Meg.
187
00:11:41,575 --> 00:11:47,415
She was always so easy to get along
with, very congenial, making friends.
188
00:11:47,498 --> 00:11:50,334
You know, she was a very empathic child.
189
00:11:51,001 --> 00:11:52,878
Very mature.
190
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:56,424
I remember asking Meg
if I feel like her mom.
191
00:11:56,507 --> 00:12:00,678
And she told me that
I felt like her older controlling sister.
192
00:12:01,971 --> 00:12:03,472
I never forgot that.
193
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:05,391
[children chattering indistinctly]
194
00:12:10,521 --> 00:12:11,355
[Meghan squeals] Oh!
195
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:13,023
Ms. Debby.
196
00:12:13,107 --> 00:12:16,485
[Debbie] You know the mass,
our Grand Duchess!
197
00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:18,487
[Meghan] Oh my gosh!
198
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:19,738
How are you?
199
00:12:19,822 --> 00:12:21,991
[Debbie] I'm very well.
200
00:12:22,074 --> 00:12:24,785
So happy to see you! [laughing]
201
00:12:24,869 --> 00:12:26,412
[Doria] Nice to see you.
202
00:12:26,495 --> 00:12:27,788
[Debbie] Love you.
203
00:12:27,872 --> 00:12:31,625
[Doria] My goodness. It's amazing.
204
00:12:31,709 --> 00:12:36,922
What a great choice
this was to start Meg here.
205
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:41,302
[Meghan] When we went back to,
Hollywood School House.
206
00:12:41,385 --> 00:12:43,262
I was there from ages two to 12.
207
00:12:44,513 --> 00:12:46,515
It was so nice to be back.
208
00:12:47,183 --> 00:12:50,019
[Debbie] I want you to see
what you wrote to me.
209
00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:52,021
[Meghan] Oh my gosh! Show me. [laughs]
210
00:12:52,104 --> 00:12:54,356
[Debbie] Your penmanship was fantastic.
211
00:12:55,232 --> 00:13:00,029
Go ahead and read that.
But I want you to pay attention to the PS.
212
00:13:00,696 --> 00:13:02,531
[Meghan] "Dear Ms. Debby,
you've helped me so much
213
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:03,782
since I was two years old.
214
00:13:03,866 --> 00:13:07,661
I knew I could count on you to be there
for me as a principal and also a friend.
215
00:13:07,745 --> 00:13:11,040
I can't thank you enough. Even though
I was at this school for ten years,
216
00:13:11,123 --> 00:13:13,209
I wish I could have stayed for ten more.
217
00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:16,128
This school will always have a special
place in my heart. Much love, Meghan.
218
00:13:16,212 --> 00:13:20,090
PS: When I am rich
and famous and I write my life story,
219
00:13:20,174 --> 00:13:24,136
I will talk about you and the school,
so you will be known worldwide."
220
00:13:24,220 --> 00:13:26,180
[Meghan laughing]
221
00:13:26,263 --> 00:13:27,473
[Doria] That's true.
222
00:13:27,556 --> 00:13:30,351
-[Meghan] Say's the 11-year-old.
-[Debbie laughing]
223
00:13:30,434 --> 00:13:32,228
[Meghan] Oh my God.
224
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:35,814
[instrumental music playing]
225
00:13:35,898 --> 00:13:37,650
I was a big nerd growing up.
226
00:13:37,733 --> 00:13:40,486
This is an important part
that people don't understand about me.
227
00:13:40,569 --> 00:13:42,154
Like, I was not the pretty one.
228
00:13:45,032 --> 00:13:47,993
My entire identity was wrapped up
in being the smart one.
229
00:13:50,037 --> 00:13:55,292
There are those catalyzing moments
in your life and from my standpoint,
230
00:13:55,376 --> 00:13:58,796
I had this commercial changed when I was
young because I found it to be sexist.
231
00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:02,841
[man on TV] Women are fighting greasy
pots and pans with Ivory Clear…
232
00:14:02,925 --> 00:14:04,134
[Meghan] I was eleven.
233
00:14:04,218 --> 00:14:06,136
[young Meghan] "Dear sir,
last week at my school,
234
00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:09,056
we decided to
watch news for social studies.
235
00:14:09,139 --> 00:14:10,391
While flipping through the channels,
236
00:14:10,474 --> 00:14:14,562
we saw a commercial for
the new Ivory Clear dishwashing liquid.
237
00:14:14,645 --> 00:14:17,231
In the commercial
they said women are battling grease,
238
00:14:17,314 --> 00:14:19,358
meaning only women do dishes.
239
00:14:19,441 --> 00:14:21,860
When I heard this,
the boys in my class started saying,
240
00:14:21,944 --> 00:14:24,530
"Yeah, that's where
women belong… in the kitchen."
241
00:14:24,613 --> 00:14:25,990
So I was wondering if you'll be able
242
00:14:26,073 --> 00:14:28,909
to change your commercial
to people all over America."
243
00:14:28,993 --> 00:14:31,871
[man on TV] The gloves are coming off.
244
00:14:31,954 --> 00:14:35,958
People are fighting greasy
pots and pans with Ivory Clear.
245
00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:39,795
[Meghan] I changed that commercial,
from my little handwritten letter.
246
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:43,257
And it was a big deal because I was going
to middle school after that. So I was like
247
00:14:44,425 --> 00:14:46,176
I was the little activist.
248
00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:49,179
[rock music playing]
249
00:14:55,227 --> 00:14:57,813
[Susan] I met Meghan in the seventh grade.
250
00:14:57,897 --> 00:14:59,732
We were walking
into all of our new classes
251
00:14:59,815 --> 00:15:02,693
and she was holding
the door open, tap dancing.
252
00:15:04,153 --> 00:15:09,491
We became fast friends. We were both
into the same extracurricular activities.
253
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:14,914
And spent a lot of time in
leadership roles at school, volunteering.
254
00:15:14,997 --> 00:15:18,125
When I ran for Student Council,
she was like my campaign manager.
255
00:15:18,208 --> 00:15:20,669
And took it so seriously.
256
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:24,381
After school, I'd go
see my dad who was a lighting director.
257
00:15:24,465 --> 00:15:29,678
Sometimes I'd go on the set of this
TV sitcom called Married With Children.
258
00:15:33,849 --> 00:15:37,102
I loved being on set. I loved it.
259
00:15:37,686 --> 00:15:40,439
And I loved the camaraderie of a crew.
260
00:15:40,522 --> 00:15:43,108
[Susan] Tom did a lot for our school,
261
00:15:43,192 --> 00:15:47,237
being a lighting director and Meghan
being so involved with performances.
262
00:15:47,321 --> 00:15:48,989
-You could not.
-I could too.
263
00:15:49,073 --> 00:15:51,408
You could not, little liar!
264
00:15:51,492 --> 00:15:52,451
I'm not lying!
265
00:15:53,035 --> 00:15:54,703
[Susan] Meghan loved the theater.
266
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:57,039
I would go to all
of her musicals, performances.
267
00:15:57,122 --> 00:15:58,832
[screaming]
268
00:15:58,916 --> 00:16:01,043
[Susan] She was so passionate about it.
269
00:16:01,126 --> 00:16:04,421
And very driven to be successful.
270
00:16:04,505 --> 00:16:06,882
I couldn't help her
with her home work. She was way smarter.
271
00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:10,552
She got straight A's, very disciplined.
272
00:16:10,636 --> 00:16:13,764
I would say that Meg is an old soul.
273
00:16:13,847 --> 00:16:17,309
We will always dedicate ourselves to
making it a better world. Thank you.
274
00:16:17,393 --> 00:16:21,897
[crowd applause]
275
00:16:24,817 --> 00:16:29,071
This is where I had my high
school graduation. The Hollywood Bowl.
276
00:16:30,155 --> 00:16:33,367
Hundred and three girls
on the stage, all wearing white gowns.
277
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:36,078
Not like cap and gowns,
like beautiful white gowns.
278
00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:42,710
There it is. The last concert
I went to there, I went with my mom.
279
00:16:42,793 --> 00:16:44,920
And we were in the parking lot leaving
280
00:16:45,713 --> 00:16:51,010
and my mom honked, this woman was taking
a long time to figure out how to get out.
281
00:16:51,093 --> 00:16:55,222
And the woman turned around
and screamed the N-word at my mom.
282
00:16:59,518 --> 00:17:04,565
I just remembered my mom like, the
grip her hand had on the steering wheel.
283
00:17:06,775 --> 00:17:13,032
And you could see her fist was
so tight, like the knuckles got all white.
284
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:18,912
And she was just silent the rest of
the drive home, we never talked about it.
285
00:17:18,996 --> 00:17:21,957
[somber music playing]
286
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:25,085
[Meghan] I had never in my life
heard someone say the N-word.
287
00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:29,048
Very different to be a minority
288
00:17:29,131 --> 00:17:32,051
but not be treated
as a minority right off the bat.
289
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:34,928
I'd say now,
people are very aware of my race
290
00:17:35,012 --> 00:17:37,473
because they made it
such an issue when I went to the UK.
291
00:17:37,556 --> 00:17:39,641
But before that…
292
00:17:41,935 --> 00:17:45,147
most people didn't
treat me like a "Black woman."
293
00:17:45,981 --> 00:17:48,150
So that talk didn't have to happen for me.
294
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:55,824
[Doria] As a parent,
295
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,622
in hind sight, absolutely,
I would like to go back
296
00:18:01,705 --> 00:18:04,041
and have that kind of real conversation
297
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,086
about how the world sees you.
298
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:14,384
Can you imagine if he…
You be Harry and I'll be the Queen.
299
00:18:14,468 --> 00:18:18,305
-Grandmother, I met this beautiful woman,
-Yeah.
300
00:18:18,388 --> 00:18:21,809
she just happens to be mixed-race.
301
00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:23,519
[all laughing]
302
00:18:23,602 --> 00:18:28,524
I said to her. I remember this
very clearly, that this is about race.
303
00:18:29,566 --> 00:18:32,236
And Meg said
"Mommy, I don't wanna hear that"
304
00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:35,614
And I said, you may not want to hear it
but this is what's coming down the pike.
305
00:18:36,615 --> 00:18:40,744
At that time I wasn't thinking about
how race played a part in any of this.
306
00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:42,913
I genuinely didn't think about it.
307
00:18:42,996 --> 00:18:46,917
Within that first week
that it became public knowledge,
308
00:18:48,585 --> 00:18:53,298
the first story was, 'Harry's new girl
[almost] straight out of Compton.'
309
00:18:54,341 --> 00:18:56,468
I was like, "Whoa!"
310
00:18:56,552 --> 00:18:59,763
Well firstly, I'm not from
Compton, I've never lived in Compton.
311
00:19:00,556 --> 00:19:04,977
So it's factually incorrect. But why
do you have to make a dig at Compton?
312
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:06,436
[somber music playing]
313
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,689
[Harry] The direction
of the palace was, "Don't say anything."
314
00:19:08,772 --> 00:19:11,233
[Meghan] No comment.
Everyone just say, "No comment."
315
00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:13,694
[Harry] But what people
need to understand is
316
00:19:13,777 --> 00:19:15,988
as far as a lot
of the family were concerned,
317
00:19:16,071 --> 00:19:18,323
everything that she was being put through,
318
00:19:18,407 --> 00:19:19,867
they'd been put through as well.
319
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:21,869
So it was almost like a rite of passage.
320
00:19:21,952 --> 00:19:26,623
Some of the members of the family were
like, but "My wife had to go through that.
321
00:19:27,207 --> 00:19:29,543
So why should your
girlfriend be treated any differently?
322
00:19:29,626 --> 00:19:33,463
Why should you get special
treatment. Why should she be protected?"
323
00:19:34,089 --> 00:19:36,967
And I said,
"The difference here is the race element."
324
00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:39,761
[tense music playing]
325
00:19:55,986 --> 00:20:00,657
They would take pictures
of different parts of, say, skid row
326
00:20:00,741 --> 00:20:03,911
and say that was where I lived
and that was where she was from.
327
00:20:03,994 --> 00:20:06,997
[camera shutters clicking]
328
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,166
[Meghan] It was horrible.
329
00:20:09,249 --> 00:20:11,960
But I continued to
hold the line, say nothing.
330
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:17,716
[Harry] Eight days after
the relationship became public,
331
00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:19,176
I put out a statement,
332
00:20:19,259 --> 00:20:21,970
calling out the racist undertones
of articles and headlines
333
00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:23,555
that were written by the British press,
334
00:20:23,639 --> 00:20:29,228
as well as outright racism
from those articles across social media.
335
00:20:29,311 --> 00:20:32,022
[wistful music playing]
336
00:20:32,105 --> 00:20:34,483
[female reporter1]
Kensington palace issuing a statement
337
00:20:34,566 --> 00:20:37,819
about the harassment
being experienced by Meghan Markle.
338
00:20:37,903 --> 00:20:39,571
[female reporter2]
Now, he says that she has suffered
339
00:20:39,655 --> 00:20:42,866
abuse and harassment
with racist undertones.
340
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:46,870
Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle's
safety and is deeply disappointed
341
00:20:46,954 --> 00:20:49,665
that he has not been able to protect her.
342
00:20:49,748 --> 00:20:51,959
This is not a game, it's her life.
343
00:20:52,042 --> 00:20:55,254
It is a very clear message
to the British press, "Back off."
344
00:20:57,673 --> 00:21:00,467
[David] She was a princess
straight out of Compton.
345
00:21:00,550 --> 00:21:05,847
It was, brutal but it was
also in some ways unsurprising.
346
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:08,517
[dramatic music playing]
347
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,854
[James Holt] The UK tabloids have a
very unique role to play in British life.
348
00:21:14,856 --> 00:21:18,652
On one hand they have
the real sensationalized element
349
00:21:18,735 --> 00:21:20,153
that loves the gossip.
350
00:21:20,237 --> 00:21:23,490
But equally, it's not just entertainment
351
00:21:23,573 --> 00:21:28,370
because the tabloids have been arbiters
of public opinion for such a long time.
352
00:21:30,038 --> 00:21:33,959
A number of the tabloids
could sway governments.
353
00:21:34,042 --> 00:21:37,963
At election time, they are
the popular press for a reason.
354
00:21:38,755 --> 00:21:42,801
The British tabloid press exists
both as a series of publications
355
00:21:42,884 --> 00:21:45,387
but also as a mentality. And it's toxic.
356
00:21:48,849 --> 00:21:52,644
We have to recognize
that this is a White industry.
357
00:21:53,937 --> 00:21:56,440
Black people are
about 3.5% of the population
358
00:21:56,523 --> 00:21:59,776
and about 0.2% of the journalists.
359
00:22:02,154 --> 00:22:05,532
So, people
who come up with these headlines,
360
00:22:05,615 --> 00:22:09,411
they are doing so in
a newsroom that's almost entirely White.
361
00:22:09,494 --> 00:22:14,916
And they get to decide whether something
has crossed the line of being racist.
362
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,211
And, anyone who steps into the public eye,
363
00:22:18,295 --> 00:22:22,132
particularly someone
who's female and someone who is Black,
364
00:22:22,215 --> 00:22:24,343
is fair game in their minds.
365
00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:30,932
[woman] This is everything on our list.
366
00:22:31,016 --> 00:22:33,935
I'll take it from here.
367
00:22:34,019 --> 00:22:36,438
Whoop!
368
00:22:38,398 --> 00:22:40,692
They are gonna take you
in just a few minutes here.
369
00:22:45,989 --> 00:22:48,241
I've come a long way
from Little Red School House.
370
00:22:48,325 --> 00:22:49,534
Is it tight?
371
00:22:50,452 --> 00:22:51,995
-[Meghan] Are you nervous?
-Yes.
372
00:22:52,954 --> 00:22:54,706
-Just go with the flow.
-[laughing]
373
00:22:56,124 --> 00:22:56,958
Urgh!
374
00:22:57,042 --> 00:22:58,919
[Meghan] People don't talk about
what it's like to be mixed race.
375
00:23:00,796 --> 00:23:03,924
So much of my self-identification
376
00:23:04,007 --> 00:23:07,010
was, trying to figure out where I fit in.
377
00:23:08,929 --> 00:23:12,974
And I think a lot of that is, you're not
White enough or you're not Black enough,
378
00:23:13,934 --> 00:23:16,394
but I don't see the world that way.
379
00:23:16,478 --> 00:23:19,147
-Nice to meet you.
-You too. My mom's here tonight.
380
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:22,567
-Mama! Meghan Markle's mom is here too.
-[Mama] What?
381
00:23:22,651 --> 00:23:26,279
Hey, brother. Anthony. Nice to meet you.
382
00:23:26,363 --> 00:23:28,365
[Harry] One thing I've learnt is that
383
00:23:28,448 --> 00:23:31,868
we don't see the world as it is.
We see it as we are.
384
00:23:32,577 --> 00:23:36,373
By the time I met Meghan, I think
I had traveled half the Commonwealth.
385
00:23:37,624 --> 00:23:40,669
I met people
and communities all around the world.
386
00:23:40,752 --> 00:23:43,922
And through that, I thought I knew.
387
00:23:44,005 --> 00:23:49,636
I thought I had an
awareness to issues, ways of living,
388
00:23:49,719 --> 00:23:52,013
unconscious bias. Like, all of it.
389
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:54,975
[male announcer] And now,
it is my honor to present
390
00:23:55,058 --> 00:23:58,311
the NAACP President's Awards to
391
00:23:58,395 --> 00:24:02,691
Prince Harry and Meghan,
the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
392
00:24:02,774 --> 00:24:04,109
[crowd applause]
393
00:24:04,192 --> 00:24:05,527
[Harry] But hearing her talk
394
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:08,071
and having seen her
have conversations and chats,
395
00:24:08,155 --> 00:24:13,493
I was like, here you are just blissfully,
like, I guess, sleepwalking through life.
396
00:24:14,077 --> 00:24:19,249
It's safe to say, I come from a different
background than my incredible wife.
397
00:24:19,332 --> 00:24:22,252
Yet our lives
were brought together for a reason.
398
00:24:22,335 --> 00:24:25,130
We share
a commitment to a life of service.
399
00:24:25,213 --> 00:24:27,716
A responsibility to confront injustice,
400
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:30,010
and a belief that
the most often overlooked
401
00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:32,762
are the most important to listen to.
402
00:24:32,846 --> 00:24:36,266
And I couldn't be prouder
that we are doing this work together.
403
00:24:37,017 --> 00:24:41,271
We moved to California, my home state,
shortly before the murder of George Floyd.
404
00:24:41,354 --> 00:24:46,985
And for Black America, those nine
minutes and 29 seconds transcended time,
405
00:24:47,068 --> 00:24:50,030
invoking centuries of our unhealed wounds.
406
00:24:50,113 --> 00:24:52,490
My son, my daughter, my children
407
00:24:52,574 --> 00:24:55,785
are mixed race
and I'm really proud of that.
408
00:24:57,454 --> 00:25:01,041
When my kids grow up
and they look back at this moment
409
00:25:01,124 --> 00:25:05,128
and they turn to me and say,
"What did you do in this moment?"
410
00:25:06,046 --> 00:25:07,756
I want to be able to give them an answer.
411
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:11,718
[Harry singing] ♪ Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho, it's off to work we go ♪
412

-[Harry whistling]
-[wistful music playing]
413
00:25:18,350 --> 00:25:21,311
[Harry] I think it's such
a responsibility as human beings.
414
00:25:21,394 --> 00:25:23,647
That if you bring
a small person into this world,
415
00:25:23,730 --> 00:25:26,816
you should be doing anything you can
to make the world a better place for them.
416

[Archie indistinctly]
417
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:34,115
[whispering] We won't get a chance to be
this close to hummingbirds ever again.
418
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:35,367
-[Archie] Why?
-[Harry whispering] Just watch.
419
00:25:35,450 --> 00:25:37,452
Because they're scared of humans.
420
00:25:37,535 --> 00:25:39,454
These guys, look at them!
421
00:25:40,455 --> 00:25:41,873
Archie!
422
00:25:41,957 --> 00:25:44,584
[Archie] I've got a dirty foot, mama!
423
00:25:44,668 --> 00:25:47,045
Because I was with you.

00:25:53,343 --> 00:25:54,594
[Archie] I've got a dirty foot.
427
00:25:54,678 --> 00:25:56,888
[Meghan] You've got
a dirty foot, sweetheart.
428
00:25:56,972 --> 00:26:00,642
Papa is a bird watcher,
so this is a big moment for him.
429
00:26:01,810 --> 00:26:03,812
[bird chirping]
430
00:26:03,895 --> 00:26:07,524
[Harry] But equally, what's
most important for the two of us
431
00:26:07,607 --> 00:26:11,861
is to make sure that we don't repeat the
same mistakes that our parents made.
432
00:26:11,945 --> 00:26:13,029
[Harry] "Who's that?
433
00:26:13,113 --> 00:26:14,823
That is the centipede."
434
00:26:16,074 --> 00:26:17,826
[Meghan] There's so much
from anyone's childhood
435
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:20,036
that you bring with you into the present.
436
00:26:21,288 --> 00:26:24,040
Especially when you are
the product of divorce.
437
00:26:24,124 --> 00:26:27,460
[wistful music playing]
438
00:26:28,795 --> 00:26:33,258
[Harry] I think most kids who are
the products of divorced parents
439
00:26:33,341 --> 00:26:36,761
have a lot in common, [laughs]
no matter what your background is.
440
00:26:38,054 --> 00:26:42,142
Being pulled from one place to another
or maybe your parents are competitive
441
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:44,602
or you're in one place
longer than you want to be
442
00:26:44,686 --> 00:26:47,689
or another place less than you want to be.
There's all sorts of pieces to that.
443
00:26:49,774 --> 00:26:53,153
[Meghan] Even though
my parents co-parented well,
444
00:26:53,236 --> 00:26:57,657
if you think about how that informs
what you grew up to be and what you want…
445
00:26:58,658 --> 00:27:02,829
It's so funny, when I was 12,
I was at Immaculate Heart,
446
00:27:02,912 --> 00:27:07,208
and one of the assignments
was to write a poem about your life.
447
00:27:07,834 --> 00:27:11,129
And I remember
this poem till this day, which was,
448
00:27:11,212 --> 00:27:14,758
Two houses, two homes
Two kitchens, two phones
449
00:27:14,841 --> 00:27:17,844
Two couches where I lay
Two places that I stay
450
00:27:17,927 --> 00:27:21,264
Moving, moving here and there
From Monday to Friday, I'm everywhere
451
00:27:21,348 --> 00:27:24,809
Don't get me wrong, it's not that bad
But often times it makes me sad.
452
00:27:24,893 --> 00:27:29,022
I want to live that nuclear life
With a happy dad and his loving wife
453
00:27:29,105 --> 00:27:33,568
A picket fence, a shaggy dog
A fire place with a burning log
454
00:27:33,651 --> 00:27:38,156
But it's not real, it's just a dream
I cannot cry or even scream
455
00:27:38,239 --> 00:27:42,869
So here I sit with cat number three
Life would be easy if there were two of me
456
00:27:45,663 --> 00:27:49,376
[wistful string music playing]
457
00:27:49,459 --> 00:27:50,752
[Meghan] I was with my mom during the week
458
00:27:50,835 --> 00:27:52,170
and with my dad on the weekends.
459
00:27:52,253 --> 00:27:56,758
And my dad lived alone,
he had two adult children
460
00:27:56,841 --> 00:27:58,134
who had moved out of his house.
461
00:27:58,218 --> 00:27:59,719
[young Meghan] Where's Daddy?
462
00:28:01,513 --> 00:28:03,932
Woah. I gotta zoom back on you.
463
00:28:04,015 --> 00:28:05,725
Gotta push that button on the back.
464
00:28:06,851 --> 00:28:08,228
-[young Meghan] Oh yeah.
-See? If you hit that button
465
00:28:08,311 --> 00:28:09,646
you go forward, right?
466
00:28:09,729 --> 00:28:14,234
Okay. Alright. Am I there? I wonder.
467
00:28:14,317 --> 00:28:16,361
Okay, see you later. Bye-bye.

I was a daddy's-girl my whole life.

Okay, I gotta press the button there.
470
00:28:20,323 --> 00:28:21,449
[Meghan] And I was with him a lot.
471
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:22,617

[Meghan's dad] We're gonna
catch fish for dinner, right?
474
00:28:29,124 --> 00:28:31,042
[young Meghan] Fish for dinner.
475
00:28:31,126 --> 00:28:33,420
That's our goal. Yes it is.
476
00:28:34,087 --> 00:28:37,090
[Meghan] But I do remember
also feeling lonely when I was a kid.
477
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:42,929
And wanting to have more people around.
478
00:28:43,930 --> 00:28:46,141
-[Meghan's dad] Determined.
-What?
479
00:28:46,808 --> 00:28:48,184
[Meghan's dad] Determined.

[lively upbeat music playing]
482

She had a whole life before she met H.
483
00:29:01,072 --> 00:29:03,032
She had a core group of friends
484
00:29:03,116 --> 00:29:07,662
and, Meg was very outgoing, super social.
485
00:29:07,746 --> 00:29:09,080
Living in Toronto.
486
00:29:09,164 --> 00:29:11,458
She was very openhearted.
487
00:29:11,541 --> 00:29:15,420
I lived in a great little
residential community. I had my two dogs.
488
00:29:15,503 --> 00:29:17,297
And it was great. It was easy, low-key.
489
00:29:17,380 --> 00:29:19,883
Go for hikes and walks. You go to set.
490
00:29:21,259 --> 00:29:22,594
I loved my job.
491
00:29:24,888 --> 00:29:27,932
[male TV crew] Here they come. Get ready
with the slates please. Lock it up.
492
00:29:28,016 --> 00:29:30,059
[Chantelle] I feel Toronto
was kind of a safe haven
493
00:29:30,143 --> 00:29:32,020
for actors who were working in the city.
494
00:29:32,103 --> 00:29:35,774
Meg would go to
the grocery store and get recognized.
495
00:29:35,857 --> 00:29:38,735
And people would say,
"Aren't you that girl from Suits?"
496
00:29:39,736 --> 00:29:41,780
[Abigail] When we were out
on the streets, she would always
497
00:29:41,863 --> 00:29:43,865
interacting physically with the fans.
498
00:29:43,948 --> 00:29:46,868
And like, let's take a selfie.
And putting their arms around her.
499
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:48,495
Of course! What's your name?
500
00:29:48,578 --> 00:29:51,372
[Chantelle] Other than that,
she had so much freedom.
501
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:53,958
She had such a beautiful life
502
00:29:54,042 --> 00:29:56,753
before everything exploded.
503
00:29:56,836 --> 00:29:58,421
[tense music playing]
504
00:29:58,505 --> 00:30:00,423
-[camera shutters clicking]
-[woman2] Hey! Hi!
505
00:30:01,466 --> 00:30:02,509
[man] Get a hold of that.
506
00:30:03,301 --> 00:30:05,678
[woman3] Yeah, of course.
507
00:30:05,762 --> 00:30:09,349
[Chantelle] It really did take
a dark turn quickly.
508
00:30:11,643 --> 00:30:15,563
There is like a baked-in
level of curiosity and
509
00:30:15,647 --> 00:30:21,569
opinion, dealing with royals
that I have not seen before.
510
00:30:22,987 --> 00:30:27,867
The paparazzi started
coming out to try to get eyes on her.
511
00:30:27,951 --> 00:30:32,747
And, there were
people trying to buy call sheets
512
00:30:32,831 --> 00:30:35,208
from production assistants on our show,
513
00:30:35,291 --> 00:30:37,293
so they could
find out when she was shooting.
514
00:30:38,545 --> 00:30:42,298
They'd get this
really long lenses and like hide on hills
515
00:30:42,382 --> 00:30:44,676
so that they could get a view of her.
516
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:50,265
There were people breaking
into the area where their trailers are,
517
00:30:50,348 --> 00:30:52,308
and trying
to get pictures of her coming in
518
00:30:52,392 --> 00:30:57,146
and out of her trailer. Started
feeling a little bit dangerous for her.
519
00:30:58,064 --> 00:31:02,735
At a certain point,
we had to cage in all the trailers.
520
00:31:03,945 --> 00:31:06,614
And that was really challenging
521
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:09,659
logistically because she was on a TV show
522
00:31:09,742 --> 00:31:14,706
and her nature is to never
make things more difficult for anyone.
523
00:31:14,789 --> 00:31:17,792
But I don't think anyone knew how to
524
00:31:18,626 --> 00:31:22,338
manage that new normal.
525
00:31:22,422 --> 00:31:23,631
[camera shutters clicking]
526
00:31:23,715 --> 00:31:28,219
I was terrified somebody was gonna
just be in her trailer waiting for her.
527
00:31:29,971 --> 00:31:31,389
[Meghan] So I would say to the police,
528
00:31:31,472 --> 00:31:33,683
if any other woman
in Toronto right now said to you,
529
00:31:33,766 --> 00:31:37,353
"I have six grown men who
are sleeping in their cars around my house
530
00:31:37,437 --> 00:31:40,315
and following me
everywhere that I go and I feel scared,
531
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:42,483
wouldn't you say it was stalking?"
532
00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:46,237
And they said
"Yes, there's really nothing we can do
533
00:31:46,321 --> 00:31:47,864
because of who you are dating."
534
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:52,493
So like,
I'm just supposed to live like this?
535
00:31:53,536 --> 00:31:54,621
And then I got a death threat,
536
00:31:54,704 --> 00:31:57,916
then things changed
because I needed to have security.
537
00:32:00,752 --> 00:32:04,339
[Steve] I was hired by NBC
to take over the security for Meghan.
538
00:32:04,422 --> 00:32:09,302
And this has been
the most intense situation
539
00:32:09,385 --> 00:32:12,680
with the media. I mean, I've worked
with A-list celebrities before,
540
00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:14,557
high net-worth families before…
541
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:16,893
This blew the meter right out the water.
542
00:32:16,976 --> 00:32:18,811
[woman] Meg, c'mon!
543
00:32:18,895 --> 00:32:22,982
[Steve] The paparazzi that would do
what they have to do to get a picture.
544
00:32:23,066 --> 00:32:26,778
My job was to make sure they
didn't really know where we were going
545
00:32:26,861 --> 00:32:28,196
-and when we were going there.
-[somber music playing]
546
00:32:29,322 --> 00:32:33,451
We had a special driver taking myself
and Meghan to the studio all the time.
547
00:32:34,369 --> 00:32:36,788
He was trained in evasive driving.
548
00:32:36,871 --> 00:32:40,708
And we used to have
to take different routes to the studio
549
00:32:41,292 --> 00:32:44,087
to get away
from the paparazzi that were chasing us.
550
00:32:44,170 --> 00:32:47,215
And when we were coming back
down to the residence after the studio,
551
00:32:47,298 --> 00:32:49,384
there were people on
radios letting people know
552
00:32:49,467 --> 00:32:51,469
we were coming back down to the area.
553
00:32:51,552 --> 00:32:53,805
So we had to go down in alleys
554
00:32:53,888 --> 00:32:56,724
and bring Meghan to the back
of the house, open the garage door,
555
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:59,519
make sure no one was
there so we could sneak in.
556
00:32:59,602 --> 00:33:02,730
[camera shutters clicking]
557
00:33:02,814 --> 00:33:04,482
[woman] It was scary.
558
00:33:05,149 --> 00:33:08,820
There were people constantly at her door.
Or trying to get into her house
559
00:33:08,903 --> 00:33:12,782
or trying to get around
so that they can find her.
560
00:33:15,868 --> 00:33:20,123
[Steve] Mail was screened,
it was coming into the studio.
561
00:33:20,206 --> 00:33:24,877
There were some things that came in
that were a little bit out of the ordinary
562
00:33:24,961 --> 00:33:28,798
and we used to send those over
to Harry's security detail in the UK
563
00:33:28,881 --> 00:33:32,760
and they used to take care of those
situations and monitor what was going on.
564
00:33:38,433 --> 00:33:40,685
[Meghan] When all
of that started happening,
565
00:33:41,894 --> 00:33:46,065
my friends and people in my life
who love me and care about me are like,
566
00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:48,276
"Is he worth this?"
567
00:33:49,027 --> 00:33:51,446
Like, we know that you're happy
and we know that you love him.
568
00:33:51,529 --> 00:33:54,824
Is he worth this?
Look at what's happening to your life.
569
00:33:58,369 --> 00:34:00,913
We just did everything we
could to be there for each other.
570
00:34:04,333 --> 00:34:06,377
We had to stay connected.
571
00:34:06,461 --> 00:34:08,296
We wouldn't have
survived it if we weren't.
572
00:34:09,130 --> 00:34:13,009
I don't know how we did it but we did it.
573
00:34:13,092 --> 00:34:14,343
[instrumental music playing]
574
00:34:14,427 --> 00:34:16,929
[Harry] Most of the times,
we were on the other side of the Atlantic.
575
00:34:17,013 --> 00:34:18,598
She was in Canada working.
576
00:34:18,681 --> 00:34:19,849
I would try to get over and see her
577
00:34:19,932 --> 00:34:22,060
and she would get over and see me more.
578
00:34:28,566 --> 00:34:31,569
[camera shutters clicking]
579
00:34:31,652 --> 00:34:35,114
[Meghan] I would go straight
from set to the airport. Get there,
580
00:34:35,198 --> 00:34:37,700
land. Get harassed.
581
00:34:37,784 --> 00:34:40,661
Try to get to him discretely, hunker down.
582
00:34:40,745 --> 00:34:42,789
And then fly right back and go to set.
583
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:47,418
Just rinse and repeat. Constantly.
584
00:34:49,420 --> 00:34:52,381
Dating became
the combination of car chases,
585
00:34:52,465 --> 00:34:55,093
anti-surveillance driving and
586
00:34:56,052 --> 00:34:57,220
[inhales deeply]
587
00:34:57,303 --> 00:34:59,639
disguises. [chuckles]
588
00:34:59,722 --> 00:35:05,061
Which isn't a particularly
healthy way to start a relationship.
589
00:35:05,144 --> 00:35:09,232
But we always came at it
with as much humor as possible.
590
00:35:09,315 --> 00:35:10,650
So whenever we saw each other
591
00:35:10,733 --> 00:35:14,070
we would just give each other
a massive hug and [breathe in deeply]
592
00:35:14,153 --> 00:35:16,447
try and have as much
of a normal life as possible.
593
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,162
So I'd go away and have a
weekend with her with a group of friends.
594
00:35:29,502 --> 00:35:30,545
[laughing]
595
00:35:30,628 --> 00:35:32,380
It's so funny if I look back at it now
596
00:35:32,463 --> 00:35:37,468
because now I know so much,
and I'm so glad I didn't then.
597
00:35:37,552 --> 00:35:41,514
Because I could just authentically be
myself without so much preparedness.
598
00:35:41,597 --> 00:35:43,432
[instrumental music playing]
599
00:35:43,516 --> 00:35:45,268
Even when Will and Kate came over
600
00:35:45,351 --> 00:35:47,395
and I had met her for
the first time… They came for dinner.
601
00:35:47,478 --> 00:35:50,481
I remember I was
in ripped jeans and I was barefoot.
602
00:35:52,316 --> 00:35:54,777
I was a hugger, always being a hugger.
603
00:35:54,861 --> 00:35:58,698
I didn't realize that that is
really jarring for a lot of Brits.
604
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:02,535
I guess I started
to understand very quickly
605
00:36:02,618 --> 00:36:07,832
that the formality on the outside,
carried through on the inside.
606
00:36:09,167 --> 00:36:12,670
That there is
a forward-facing way of being.
607
00:36:13,504 --> 00:36:14,797
And then you close
the door and you are like
608
00:36:14,881 --> 00:36:18,467
[sighing] "Oh, great.
Okay, we can relax now."
609
00:36:18,551 --> 00:36:21,596
But that formality
carries over on both sides.
610
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:23,306
And that was surprising to me.
611
00:36:26,767 --> 00:36:28,978
[Harry] My grandmother
was the first senior member
612
00:36:29,061 --> 00:36:31,022
of the family that Meghan met.
613
00:36:31,105 --> 00:36:34,400
She had no idea what it all consisted of.
614
00:36:35,318 --> 00:36:38,613
So it was a bit
of a shock to the system for her.
615
00:36:40,656 --> 00:36:41,824
[Meghan] I mean, it's surreal.
616
00:36:41,908 --> 00:36:43,451
[instrumental music playing]
617
00:36:43,534 --> 00:36:47,330
There wasn't like some big moment of,
"Now you're gonna meet my grandmother."
618
00:36:48,414 --> 00:36:51,918
I didn't know
I was gonna meet her until moments before.
619
00:36:52,001 --> 00:36:55,963
We were in the car and
we were going to Royal Lodge for lunch,
620
00:36:56,047 --> 00:36:58,257
and he was like, "Oh, my grandmother is
here, she's gonna be there after church."
621
00:36:58,341 --> 00:37:03,095
We were in the car, driving and he's like,
"You know how to curtsy, right?"
622
00:37:04,847 --> 00:37:06,599
And I just thought it was a joke.
623
00:37:08,684 --> 00:37:09,936
[royal music playing]
624
00:37:10,770 --> 00:37:13,189
[Harry] How do you explain that to people?
625
00:37:13,272 --> 00:37:15,858
How do you explain
that you bow to your grandmother?
626
00:37:16,692 --> 00:37:21,364
And that you would need to curtsy,
especially to an American. That's weird.
627
00:37:21,447 --> 00:37:22,448
[soft instrumental music playing]
628
00:37:22,531 --> 00:37:25,618
[Meghan] Now I'm starting
to realize this is a big deal.
629
00:37:25,701 --> 00:37:27,703
I mean, Americans would understand this.
630
00:37:27,787 --> 00:37:30,164
We have Medieval Times,
dinner and tournament.
631
00:37:30,248 --> 00:37:33,251
It was like that.
Like, I curtsied as though I was like…
632
00:37:33,334 --> 00:37:36,128
[instrumental music ends dramatically]
633
00:37:39,882 --> 00:37:40,800
[titters]
634
00:37:41,592 --> 00:37:43,844
Pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty.
635
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:46,347
Like, was that okay?
636
00:37:47,098 --> 00:37:49,684
It was so intense.
637
00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:54,897
And then when she left,
Eugenie and Jack and Fergie say
638
00:37:54,981 --> 00:37:56,274
"You did great!"
639
00:37:57,149 --> 00:37:59,610
Thanks. I didn't know what I was doing.
640
00:38:03,197 --> 00:38:07,702
I remember my family first meeting
her and being incredibly impressed.
641
00:38:07,785 --> 00:38:10,121
Some of them didn't quite know
what to do with themselves. [laughs]
642
00:38:11,539 --> 00:38:13,374
So I think they were. They were surprised.
643
00:38:13,457 --> 00:38:16,252
They were surprised that the ginger
could land such a beautiful woman.
644
00:38:16,335 --> 00:38:17,503
And such an intelligent woman.
645
00:38:18,087 --> 00:38:21,465
But the fact
that I was dating an American actress,
646
00:38:21,549 --> 00:38:24,760
was probably what clouded their judgment
more than anything else in the beginning.
647
00:38:24,844 --> 00:38:26,721
Oh, she's an
American actress, this won't last.
648
00:38:26,804 --> 00:38:28,806
[man] Hi, Meghan!
649
00:38:28,889 --> 00:38:32,018
[Meghan] The actress thing was
the biggest problem, funny enough.
650
00:38:32,101 --> 00:38:36,063
There was a big idea
of what that looks like
651
00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:38,858
from the UK standpoint. Hollywood and…
652
00:38:38,941 --> 00:38:40,318
[inhaling deeply]
653
00:38:40,401 --> 00:38:44,196
It was just very easy
for them to typecast that.
654
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,574
-Hi.
-Hi.
655
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:52,288
-Hi.
-Hi.
656
00:38:52,371 --> 00:38:55,875
[Nick] I first met Meghan, it was 2007.
657
00:38:55,958 --> 00:38:58,044
At that point she had
already gotten cast in a few things.
658
00:38:58,127 --> 00:38:59,378
I got a phone call from executive.
659
00:38:59,462 --> 00:39:02,298
You know Fox,
the man said we cast this girl
660
00:39:02,381 --> 00:39:05,384
and she was amazing
and she needs an agent and we love you
661
00:39:05,468 --> 00:39:07,428
and whatever.
You should meet her. I was like, "Great."
662
00:39:07,511 --> 00:39:09,555
[instrumental music playing]
663
00:39:09,638 --> 00:39:11,682
[Nick] She had to just go in
and meet and audition
664
00:39:11,766 --> 00:39:14,226
and start from the ground up.
665
00:39:17,855 --> 00:39:20,900
[Meghan] It is very hard
on your confidence
666
00:39:20,983 --> 00:39:25,154
to be an auditioning actor, especially
when you don't fit into any box.
667
00:39:26,489 --> 00:39:27,740
[Nick] I did not know she was biracial.
668
00:39:27,823 --> 00:39:31,911
I thought she was
sun-kissed California, freckly.
669
00:39:31,994 --> 00:39:35,623
I don't even remember the point
at which I found out she was biracial.
670
00:39:35,706 --> 00:39:39,043
And I think once I found out,
I would send her out for Black roles.
671
00:39:39,126 --> 00:39:42,755
Sometimes I'd pitch her for those roles,
the casting would ask, "What do you mean?"
672
00:39:42,838 --> 00:39:45,049
And I'd be like,
"She's biracial, her mom is Black."
673
00:39:45,132 --> 00:39:46,634
And they'd say, "No, she doesn't look it."
674
00:39:48,010 --> 00:39:50,638
[Meghan] When you hear, "No" all the time,
675
00:39:50,721 --> 00:39:54,058
you go, "What's wrong with me?
I'm not good enough for this or this."
676
00:39:54,141 --> 00:39:56,394
It triggers the same stuff
for me when I was a kid.
677
00:39:56,477 --> 00:39:58,104
It's like, where do I fit in?
678
00:39:58,187 --> 00:40:00,272
[lively instrumental music playing]
679
00:40:01,148 --> 00:40:03,234
[Heather] She was auditioning
680
00:40:03,317 --> 00:40:05,820
and getting close
to roles but not getting them.
681
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:08,447
I was just so amazed and proud of her
682
00:40:08,531 --> 00:40:10,825
that like, you know,
you fall down, you get back up.
683
00:40:10,908 --> 00:40:13,160
She just kept going and going.
684
00:40:14,829 --> 00:40:18,541
All I wanted was to be on a
TV show with longevity and consistency.
685
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:22,002
[Doria] She was relentless,
which was amazing,
686
00:40:22,086 --> 00:40:23,838
that she didn't throw in the towel.
687
00:40:26,132 --> 00:40:30,761
[Doria] And then finally,
the universe said yes.
688
00:40:30,845 --> 00:40:31,762
Mike Ross?
689
00:40:32,847 --> 00:40:35,975
Hi. I'm Rachael Zane,
I'd be giving you your orientation.
690
00:40:36,767 --> 00:40:38,102
Wow! You're pretty.
691
00:40:38,185 --> 00:40:41,480
Good. You've hit on me. We can get
it out of the way that I'm not interested.
692
00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:44,942
I always loved that picture.
693
00:40:45,025 --> 00:40:47,403
[laughs] Me too.
694
00:40:47,486 --> 00:40:49,280
[Nick] Rachael Zane
was really in some ways
695
00:40:49,363 --> 00:40:51,157
one of the first representations I'd seen
696
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:54,660
of a real identified biracial woman.
697
00:40:54,743 --> 00:40:57,496
You know, seeing her
family and how it fits together.
698
00:40:57,580 --> 00:40:58,956
I was a child.
699
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:01,125
Most children let things go.
700
00:41:01,208 --> 00:41:04,545
[Nick] Once they knew who she was,
to their credit they wrote to it.
701
00:41:06,672 --> 00:41:09,633
[Silver] She'd just
bring this, like, lightness.
702
00:41:09,717 --> 00:41:14,555
And for a director,
she is such a simple actor
703
00:41:14,638 --> 00:41:20,603
in that she is always natural
but is absolutely trusting.
704
00:41:22,605 --> 00:41:24,857
She didn't overthink it, she just did it.
705
00:41:24,940 --> 00:41:28,360
And I think
it put a lot of people at ease.
706
00:41:29,111 --> 00:41:31,322
Hi. Welcome to the
Suits blooper reel, Season Five.
707
00:41:31,405 --> 00:41:33,532
[soft rock music playing]
708
00:41:34,116 --> 00:41:36,535
[Silver] All the cast
really cared for each other.
709
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:41,624
And that was the glue
for a lot of those cast relationships.
710
00:41:41,707 --> 00:41:43,125
Blooper reel.
711
00:41:43,876 --> 00:41:45,836
I think she liked being part of something.
712
00:41:46,462 --> 00:41:50,966
But I don't think acting
was actually her true passion.
713
00:41:51,050 --> 00:41:54,512
She just seemed
like boiling over with ideas.
714
00:41:54,595 --> 00:41:57,056
That's how
I would describe her at that time.
715
00:41:57,139 --> 00:41:58,349
[lively instrumental music playing]
716
00:41:58,432 --> 00:42:01,227
I think she was on
a track to do bigger things.
717
00:42:02,019 --> 00:42:05,147
Now, we are in Beverly hills
and we're gonna pass the, um,
718
00:42:05,231 --> 00:42:09,443
Beverly Hilton Hotel, where I'll be on
Sunday meeting other Northwestern people.
719
00:42:10,194 --> 00:42:11,779
[Meghan] At Northwestern,
I had double-majored
720
00:42:11,862 --> 00:42:13,405
in Theater and International Relations.
721
00:42:13,489 --> 00:42:17,243
And I just, I loved writing.
And I minored in English.
722
00:42:17,326 --> 00:42:18,994
So there is the brainy part.
723
00:42:19,787 --> 00:42:24,083
There is the care
about how the world functions.
724
00:42:26,001 --> 00:42:27,878
Oh my god! [laughing]
725
00:42:27,962 --> 00:42:30,381
-That is proper…
-That is really fun! [laughing]
726
00:42:30,464 --> 00:42:34,301
[Meghan] I've never really been
the type of person to do only one thing.
727
00:42:34,385 --> 00:42:36,929
I guess that's how my website was born.
728
00:42:38,389 --> 00:42:40,432
[Silver] When she first
was describing it to me,
729
00:42:40,516 --> 00:42:43,978
she was like, "It's your bestfriend
telling you all the fun things
730
00:42:44,061 --> 00:42:46,230
that you wish
you knew about, in one place."
731
00:42:47,022 --> 00:42:50,693
[Meghan] There was fashion.
There was tons of food and travel.
732
00:42:50,776 --> 00:42:52,403
It was all the things I loved.
733
00:42:53,487 --> 00:42:55,322
And TheTig wasn't just a hobby,
734
00:42:56,115 --> 00:42:58,576
it became a really successful business.
735
00:42:58,659 --> 00:43:01,245
I always said to her,
I'd say, "I think you are a producer.
736
00:43:01,328 --> 00:43:03,289
I think you are a producer.
I think you are an activist."
737
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:07,585
[Meghan] I was writing
op-eds about your self worth.
738
00:43:07,668 --> 00:43:11,964
And about being biracial
and about volunteer work.
739
00:43:12,047 --> 00:43:15,843
When I would
do Suits, I would in hiatus go to India.
740
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,013
Go to Rwanda and do cause-driven work.
741
00:43:19,096 --> 00:43:21,390
[people singing in Swahili]
742
00:43:21,473 --> 00:43:23,684
[Meghan] That's what I was excited about.
743
00:43:23,767 --> 00:43:26,895
I wasn't trying to find,
like the great Indie film
744
00:43:26,979 --> 00:43:29,356
that's gonna get me an Oscar. No.
745
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,275
I just wanted to go and volunteer.
746
00:43:35,279 --> 00:43:37,072
[crowd cheering]
747
00:43:39,867 --> 00:43:46,540
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am tremendously honored
748
00:43:46,624 --> 00:43:51,587
to be UN Women's advocate for
political participation and leadership.
749
00:43:51,670 --> 00:43:55,966
I am proud to be a woman and a feminist.
750
00:43:56,050 --> 00:43:57,760
[crowd cheering]
751
00:44:01,263 --> 00:44:05,684
[Silver] She's fed through service.
And I think H is like that too.
752
00:44:06,602 --> 00:44:08,020
And that's rare.
753
00:44:09,021 --> 00:44:11,106
[Meghan] Welcome
and thank you all for being here, truly.
754
00:44:11,190 --> 00:44:13,567
We're very grateful.
This is something we've been…
755
00:44:13,651 --> 00:44:15,903
[Meghan] A lot of what
H and I connected on
756
00:44:15,986 --> 00:44:20,115
in our courtship was that H
and I have so many parallel interests
757
00:44:20,199 --> 00:44:22,701
even though our world
and our lives were so different.
758
00:44:22,785 --> 00:44:24,703
[Meghan] For us,
what's deeply important is this
759
00:44:24,787 --> 00:44:26,622
idea of equity. Be it racial equity,
760
00:44:26,705 --> 00:44:29,208
gender equity
and in this sense, vaccine equity.
761
00:44:30,209 --> 00:44:32,544
To just be equipped with
the information that we need to be able to
762
00:44:32,628 --> 00:44:35,047
better serve this larger purpose.
763
00:44:35,130 --> 00:44:40,636
[Harry] From my perspective,
I fell head over heels in love with her…
764
00:44:41,762 --> 00:44:42,971
because my heart told me
765
00:44:43,055 --> 00:44:45,516
that she was the one that I was
gonna spend the rest of my life with.
766
00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:48,560
And then, once I got to know even more,
767
00:44:49,269 --> 00:44:53,065
my head then told me, "Well, she's
absolutely perfect for the role as well."
768
00:44:53,899 --> 00:44:55,859
[soft music playing]
769
00:44:55,943 --> 00:44:58,070
When it came to Meghan,
770
00:44:58,153 --> 00:45:03,325
that was, I guess the case
of finding a needle in a haystack.
771
00:45:08,622 --> 00:45:10,624
[female interviewer] Tell me about
the proposal, please.
772
00:45:14,253 --> 00:45:15,796
Are you looking at me? You tell it.
773
00:45:15,879 --> 00:45:18,382
[string music plays]
774
00:45:18,465 --> 00:45:19,967
[Harry] I wanted to do it earlier.
775
00:45:20,050 --> 00:45:22,886
Like, I was… because I had to ask
permission from my grandmother,
776
00:45:22,970 --> 00:45:26,140
I couldn't do it outside of the UK.
777
00:45:29,017 --> 00:45:31,770
I did pop a bottle of champagne
while she was greasing the chicken
778
00:45:31,854 --> 00:45:33,856
and that kind of
slightly gave the game away.
779
00:45:33,939 --> 00:45:35,357
She was like, "You don't
drink champagne. What's the occasion?"
780
00:45:35,441 --> 00:45:37,609
I was like, "I don't know. Just had it
laying around here, whatever."
781
00:45:37,693 --> 00:45:39,194
It was a magnum. [laughing]
782
00:45:41,488 --> 00:45:43,157
[Harry] Wasn't that I knew she'd say yes,
783
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:47,411
but she'd already moved Guy over.
So I had Guy as a hostage.
784
00:45:47,494 --> 00:45:48,662
My dog, yeah.
785
00:45:48,745 --> 00:45:51,165
[Harry] He was using stilts,
so he couldn't run away.
786
00:45:52,374 --> 00:45:57,629
And then in the North garden
being over looked by the staff flats,
787
00:45:57,713 --> 00:46:00,716
I got 15 of those electric candles.
788
00:46:01,383 --> 00:46:05,262
[Meghan whispering]
Oh my God, Jess. It's happening.
789
00:46:06,555 --> 00:46:07,598
Oh my God.
790
00:46:07,681 --> 00:46:08,807
He told me not to peek.
791
00:46:09,725 --> 00:46:12,519
-Oh my God.
-[interviewer] What position were you in?
792

Downward dog.
793

[Meghan laughing]
794
00:46:16,773 --> 00:46:18,192
-You're doing good. That's really clever.
-Doing good?
795
00:46:18,275 --> 00:46:19,401
You see, he's funny.
796
00:46:20,569 --> 00:46:22,154
[Harry] Of course I got down on one knee.
797
00:46:23,322 --> 00:46:24,448
Of course I did.
798
00:46:25,115 --> 00:46:26,742
[Meghan] He's down on one knee
and I was just like, "Yes!"
799
00:46:26,825 --> 00:46:29,369
I was so joyful and excited.
800
00:46:29,453 --> 00:46:31,497

And they were gonna keep it quiet because
it was gonna be announced few weeks later.
807
00:46:54,186 --> 00:46:56,313
We had a little engagement party

and everyone
was dressed in animal onesies.

And Meghan and Harry
were in matching penguin onesies

And they were so sweet.

Prince Harry officially engaged
to American actress, Meghan Markle.
818
00:47:34,977 --> 00:47:37,854
The announcement putting
weeks of speculation to rest.
819
00:47:37,938 --> 00:47:39,314
[male reporter]
Lots of people are very excited
820
00:47:39,398 --> 00:47:41,984
that she's gonna bring
this fresh sparkle, if you like,
821
00:47:42,067 --> 00:47:44,486
into the Royal Family
and it's all seen as good news.

I can't tell you
how excited we are. The whole world is.
823
00:47:47,447 --> 00:47:51,660
It just shows how much more
in touch with the general population
824
00:47:51,743 --> 00:47:53,829
the Royal Family is becoming.

-[school children] Yeah.

00:47:56,290 --> 00:47:59,251
I think it would make
a difference slightly
828
00:47:59,334 --> 00:48:04,756
because some people are really racist
to other people because of their color.
829
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:09,011
And because Meghan Markle
is joining the Royal Family,
830
00:48:09,094 --> 00:48:11,722
I think it might make
them change their minds.
831
00:48:12,973 --> 00:48:14,641
[Misan] The union of Harry and Meghan,
832
00:48:15,684 --> 00:48:18,937
for lots of people of color
and the UK Black community
833
00:48:19,021 --> 00:48:23,525
possibly for the first time,
made a lot of people feel seen.
834
00:48:23,609 --> 00:48:27,988
[soft music playing]
835
00:48:32,034 --> 00:48:32,868
[David] Like everyone else,
836
00:48:32,951 --> 00:48:35,746
a lot of Black people
were standing, getting swept up
837
00:48:35,829 --> 00:48:41,168
in this romance and they sort of,
they're gonna wonder in this moment.
838
00:48:41,251 --> 00:48:45,756
I wanted it to work,
just like many people wanted it to work.
839
00:48:47,382 --> 00:48:50,802
[soft music continues]
840
00:48:50,886 --> 00:48:54,681
[David] But this fairy-tale
is embedding itself
841
00:48:54,765 --> 00:48:59,436
in a nation that is having a pretty
toxic debate about the European Union.
842
00:48:59,519 --> 00:49:01,897
[tense music playing]
843
00:49:01,980 --> 00:49:04,775
Now, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
844
00:49:04,858 --> 00:49:07,569
We have
to take back control of this country.
845
00:49:07,653 --> 00:49:09,279
-Can you hear me in the back?
-[man shouts fanatically] Yeah!
846
00:49:09,363 --> 00:49:11,365
Immigration is the number one issue.
847
00:49:11,448 --> 00:49:13,909
The people are very upset,
they are very unhappy.
848
00:49:13,992 --> 00:49:15,577
[crowd protesting]
849
00:49:15,661 --> 00:49:19,748
If you go back and look
at the social media of that moment,
850
00:49:19,831 --> 00:49:23,210
immigration was
in the absolute center of those debates.
851
00:49:23,293 --> 00:49:26,880
And immigration is very often,
in this country, a cipher for race.
852
00:49:26,963 --> 00:49:29,591
[crowd clamoring]
853
00:49:29,675 --> 00:49:33,178
[man1] Everybody should feel
concerned about illegal immigration.
854
00:49:33,261 --> 00:49:34,471
We don't know who these people are.
855
00:49:34,554 --> 00:49:36,556
[man2] Go back to Africa!
856
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:37,891
Send them back home.
857
00:49:37,974 --> 00:49:42,479
[crowd clamoring indistinctly]
858
00:49:46,817 --> 00:49:50,696
So the EU commissioned a report
in 2016, exactly the same time
859
00:49:50,779 --> 00:49:53,281
that our relationship became public.
860
00:49:53,365 --> 00:49:58,120
It warned that if the government
isn't going to do something
861
00:49:58,203 --> 00:50:00,831
or if the media aren't going to
sort themselves out,
862
00:50:00,914 --> 00:50:03,375
then a culture war, that already existed,
863
00:50:03,458 --> 00:50:05,544
was going to become huge
and become a real problem.
864
00:50:06,712 --> 00:50:11,633
[tense music continues]
865
00:50:11,717 --> 00:50:13,844
[James] It was a perfect storm,
866
00:50:13,927 --> 00:50:17,556
that gave credence
to jingoism and nationalism.
867
00:50:17,639 --> 00:50:22,978
And gave people
with really horrible views of the world,
868
00:50:23,061 --> 00:50:26,648
a little bit more strength and confidence
869
00:50:26,732 --> 00:50:30,318
to say what they wanted to say,
to do whatever they wanted to do.
870
00:50:30,402 --> 00:50:32,863
[crowd protesting indistinctly]
871
00:50:33,989 --> 00:50:36,575
[Nick] So it was an inauspicious moment
872
00:50:36,658 --> 00:50:41,455
for Britain to try this fairy-tale story,
with a fairy-tale princess in this
873
00:50:41,538 --> 00:50:43,623
diverse modernizing country.
874
00:50:43,707 --> 00:50:47,210
-[tense music playing]
-[crowd protests indistinctly]
875
00:50:55,093 --> 00:50:57,262
[Nick] You were slightly watching it
with your hand in your mouth.
876
00:50:58,805 --> 00:51:01,516
Could the tabloids control themselves?
877
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,936
Could the Palace persuade
the tabloids to control themselves?
878
00:51:05,020 --> 00:51:08,690
Could we as a nation wean ourselves
off wanting to intrude into the lives of
879
00:51:08,774 --> 00:51:11,151
the Royal Family
far more than is reasonable?
880
00:51:15,405 --> 00:51:18,909
[camera shutters clicking sporadically]
881
00:51:18,992 --> 00:51:23,038
[woman] Congratulations from all
of us. How are you guys feeling?
882
00:51:23,121 --> 00:51:25,248
-Uh, yeah, thrilled. [laughs]
-[Meghan laughs]
883
00:51:25,332 --> 00:51:27,709
Also we're very glad
it's not raining, as well.
884
00:51:27,793 --> 00:51:29,211
[female reporter] Hi Meghan,
how are you feeling?
885
00:51:29,294 --> 00:51:30,587
So happy, thank you.
886
00:51:31,296 --> 00:51:34,925
At that point, I was still
very much believing what I was being told.
887
00:51:35,008 --> 00:51:37,552
[soft instrumental music playing]
888
00:51:37,636 --> 00:51:41,556
[Meghan] Which was,
'It will pass. It will get better.'
889
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,767
It's just what
they do right at the very beginning.
890
00:51:48,188 --> 00:51:53,109
This promise of once you're married,
don't worry, it would get better.
891
00:51:54,277 --> 00:51:56,571
Once they get used to you,
it will get better.
892
00:51:57,989 --> 00:51:59,074
Of course, it will be better.
893
00:52:03,370 --> 00:52:08,291
But truth be told, no matter how hard
I tried, no matter how good I was.
894
00:52:08,375 --> 00:52:10,585
No matter what I did…
895
00:52:13,839 --> 00:52:15,465
they were still gonna find a way
896
00:52:17,467 --> 00:52:19,010
to destroy me.
