Markle also commented that she does not intend to return to work as an actress. “No, I’m done,” she told her about the career she had before meeting her husband. “I don’t think we can ever say never, but my intention is absolutely not to return to acting.”

“I make breakfast and we pack the kids,” he continued. “We do a lot of phone calls and video calls together, but we also try to split up to focus energy so we can get more done.”

Finally, Markle also commented on the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Harry’s grandmother. “I was grateful to be able to be with my husband to support him, especially at this time,” she said. “The most beautiful thing is looking at the legacy that his grandmother managed to leave on so many fronts. Certainly, she was one of the brightest examples of what female leadership is.”

“I feel very grateful to have been able to spend time with her and to have known her,” he said. “It was a difficult period, but my husband, who is always optimistic, said, ‘Now she’s with her husband.’
