1. The Sussexes had a secret wedding
Prince Harry and Markle exchanged vows days before their royal wedding. They called the Archbishop of Canterbury and tied the knot secretly without any witness. The did it in their backyard because they wanted their union to be intimate and only between them in contrast to their royal wedding, which was witnessed by the world.
"Three days before our wedding, we got married," Markle told Winfrey. "No one knows that."
2. Royals were allegedly racist
The duchess also shared that the royals had conversations about their son, Archie, when she was still pregnant. What was particularly concerning was that they were talking about "how dark [Archie's] skin might be when he's born."
Markle refused to share the details because she knew it would be damaging to reveal who voiced those concerns. Prince Harry corroborated his wife's statement and said he also didn't expect it from his family.
"That conversation, I'm never going to share. But at the time, it was awkward. I was a bit shocked," Prince Harry said. "That was right at the beginning... 'What will the kids look like?'"
3. Megxit wasn't a blindside
Prince Harry and Markle were accused of blindsiding the royal family when they announced that they were stepping back from their royal duties. However, the royal couple strongly denied it.
Prince William's younger brother said that he had conversations with the Queen for months before the Megxit announcement. He also put the details of his plans in writing.
"I put all the specifics in there, even the fact that we were planning on putting the announcement out on the 7th of January," he said.
4. Middleton made Markle cry
Months after the royal wedding, there were claims that Markle made Middleton cry. When Winfrey asked Markle about it, the Duchess of Sussex denied it saying, "the reverse happened."
Markle didn't share the details but confirmed it was Middleton who made her cry over the flower girl dresses. She also said she already forgave Middleton who apologized and sent her flowers and a note.
"There wasn’t a confrontation. I don’t think it’s fair to her to get into the details because she apologized, and I’ve forgiven her," Markle said.
5. Prince Harry and Markle are done having kids
Prince Harry and Markle announced the gender of their second child. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are having a girl and they said she would be their last.
"Amazing, just grateful, just to have any child, any one or any two would have been amazing, but to have a boy and then a girl, what more could you ask for?" Prince Harry gushed.
