Though Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and husband Prince Harry have bid adieu to life as senior members of the royal family, the duchess revealed that Queen Elizabeth II has always been particularly kind to her during the Sussexes tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.
On the difference between family and business, Meghan said, It s hard for people to distinguish the two because it s a family business, right? So there s the family. And then there s the people that are running the institution. Those are two separate things.
The duchess emphasized the distinction between those two concepts. It s important to be able to compartmentalize that because the queen, for example, has always been wonderful to me, she said. We had one of our first joint engagement together. She asked me to join her and I was on the train . and we had breakfast together that morning.
