FAMILY EVEN BEFORE THAT
WONDERFUL WEDDING.
HARRY AND MEGHAN’S CONNECTION
WAS CLEAR FROM THE START.
HOLDING HANDS DURING THEIR FIRST
PUBLIC APPEARANCE IN CANADA.
THIS MORNING EXCERPTS FROM A NEW
BOOK IN A LONDON NEWSPAPER
DETAILING THEIR FIRST DATE.
TWO NIGHTS IN LONDON AND HOW
MEGHAN WAS SPELL BOUND BY A
SURPRISE TRIP TO THIS ROMANTIC
SAFARI LODGE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
EXPLAINING THE IMPORTANCE OF
THAT EARLY TIME TOGETHER DURING
THEIR ENGAGEMENT INTERVIEW.
>> WE WERE REALLY BY OURSELVES
WHICH WAS CRUCIAL TO ME TO MAKE
SURE WE HAD A CHANCE TO GET TO
KNOW EACH OTHER.
>> Reporter: BUT THE BOOK
"FINDING FREEDOM" BY ROYAL
INSIDERS SAYS AS HARRY AND
MEGHAN GOT CLOSER, HARRY AND HIS
BROTHER WILLIAM GREW APART.
THE BOOK CLAIMING WILLIAM
THOUGHT HARRY REFERRED AS A SNOB
AND ENCOURAGING HARRY TO TAKE
HIS TIME.
AFTER THAT THE BOOK SAYS THE
BROTHERS BARELY SPOKE.
HARRY RARELY SAW WILLIAM’S
CHILDREN WHILE MEGHAN AND KATE
WERE NOT THE BEST OF FRIENDS.
FAMILY DIVISIONS ON PUBLIC
DISPLAY IN THIS INTERVIEW.
>> THANK YOU FOR ASKING BECAUSE
NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE ASKED IF
I’M OKAY.
>> WE’LL ALWAYS BE BROTHERS.
WE’RE ON DIFFERENT PATHS AT THE
MOMENT.
>> Reporter: WHILE ALL THIS WAS
HAPPENING, HARRY AND MEGHAN’S
ACCLAIM GREW.
IT WAS THOUGHT THEY MIGHT
ECLIPSE THE ROYAL FAMILY ITSELF.
AT ONE POINT DISAPPOINTED THAT
HIS WORK WAS BEING OVERSHADOWED.
WHILE HARRY, THE BOOK SAYS, FELT
AS THOUGH HE AND MEGHAN HAD LONG
BEEN SIDELINED BY THE
INSTITUTION AND WERE NOT A
FUNDAMENTAL PART OF ITS FUTURE.
THE COUPLE AND BABY ARCHIE
ABSENT FROM THE PICTURES BESIDE
THE QUEEN DURING HER TRADITIONAL
CHRISTMAS SPEECH.
I GAVE MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR THIS
FAMILY MEGHAN IS QUOTED AS
SAYING.
I WAS WILLING TO DO WHAT IT
TAKES BUT HERE WE ARE.
IT’S VERY SAD.
IN THEIR LAST ROYAL ENGAGEMENT
IN LONDON, THE GAP BETWEEN
WILLIAM AND HARRY, MEGHAN AND
KATE THERE FOR ALL TO SEE.
WHAT A SHAME, HONESTLY.
WHILST EVERYTHING WILLIAM AND
HARRY HAVE BEEN THROUGH LOSING
THEIR MOM THAT IT SHOULD COME TO
THIS.
HOW ASTONISHING TO HEAR ONCE
AGAIN STORIES OF PRINCE CHARLES
FEELING OVERSHADOWED JUST AS HE
DID WITH PRINCESS DIANA.
I THINK A LOT OF THIS IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF WHAT DIANA
CALLED THE COURTERS BEHIND THE
SCENES.
BUT IT IS A SHAME THE ROYAL
FAMILY HAVE LOST WITH THIS
COUPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RENEW
THE IMAGE OF THE FAMILY, REAL
STARS.
INSTEAD IT’S HARD TO SEE HOW
THIS RIFT CAN BE BRIDGED.
GUYS?
REAL QUICK, WHO ARE THESE
COURTIERS AGAIN?
WHAT’S A COURTIER?
>> Reporter: WELL, THOSE ARE THE
FOLKS WHO HELP THE ROYAL FAMILY
TO RUN.
SO, YOU KNOW, THEY’RE KIND OF
THE GOVERNMENT PAID OFFICIALS --
