Already in the interview that the Dukes of Sussex gave in 2017 on the occasion of their engagement, Prince Harry commented that he had tried to warn his then-fiancé Meghan Markle of the disadvantages of joining the British royal family.

In a 2012 CBS interview, Prince Harry recalled how being part of the Windsor dynasty affected him when he was little: “Being a child and having to listen to conversations during engagement dinners was the worst thing, having to listen to those boring people around you… extremely boring!”.

He also added that there were times when he and Prince William longed for an ordinary life. "On countless occasions, my brother and I dreamed of being a normal family, but you know, you were born into this position … From there we had to do whatever it took to make a difference in the world, between people and children they need it."

In the controversial documentary that the Dukes of Sussex filmed in Africa, Meghan Markle expressed the extraordinary attention that is awakened as a member of the royal family in the media. For a long time I told Harry that surviving is not enough. That is not the goal of being alive. You have to flourish. You have to feel good. I really did try to embrace the famous British phlegm, but I think it is deeply damaging inside.”

This is how Prince Harry expressed himself in this regard: “As in any job, you have to overcome many things and turn the other cheek on many occasions. But for my wife and me there are many situations that hurt, especially when most of those things are a lie,”Harry complained.

And he added: “All we have to do is focus on being authentic, being who we really are and defending what we believe in. They are not going to bulling me until they push me to play the game that killed my mom.”
