6 Dec
Summary
- Prince Harry compared royal life to Downton Abbey.
- Meghan Markle reached out to her father post-surgery.
- Harry joked about British culture at LA business lunch.
Prince Harry recently addressed a British American Business Council lunch in Los Angeles, where he humorously likened his royal upbringing to the popular period drama Downton Abbey. He quipped that the reality of royal life, with its intrigue and elaborate events, was more dramatic than the television show itself.
The Duke of Sussex also shared jokes about US independence and the presence of British football fans at the 2026 World Cup. He reflected on the strong and 'deeply personal' relationship between the UK and the USA, drawing on his experiences serving alongside American servicemen.
Separately, it was reported that Meghan Markle has reached out to her father, Thomas Markle, following his recent life-saving surgery in the Philippines to amputate his leg. This gesture comes after a period of estrangement between Meghan and her father.
