Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix docuseries ends on an uplifting note.
Meghan pulls up a photo on her phone of a speech she gave during their wedding reception at Frogmore House.
“Onto the crux of why I wanted to speak tonight. First of all, it’s been a while,” Meghan begins, sharing the “it’s been a while” got a big laugh.
“But mostly, I wanted to share a story. A story that I wrote about the man that I love and the way that we met. Let’s call this a modern fairytale.”
The Duchess of Sussex continues, “Once upon a time there was a girl from L.A.—some people called her an actress.
And there was a guy from London—some people called him a prince.
All of those people didn’t fully get it because this is the love story of a boy and girl who were meant to be together.”
“They meet on July 3rd, 2016 in London. And they giggle endlessly. So the next day they have their second date and he brings her cupcakes, because it’s 4th of July. ‘A bittersweet celebration,’ he says. Ironic, really. Her country’s independence from his country. Yet in this moment, they know they don’t want to be independent of each other. And after a month of long-distance courtship, they settle into the quiet of Botswana.” (Earlier in the docuseries, Prince Harry and Meghan shared photos of their third date in Botswana.)
And amidst whatever momentary worries that creep in, they look at each other and think, ‘Whatever, world, we’re in.’ They would love, and garden, and travel, and laugh, and rack up more air miles than any couple could have. And when the tides were rough, they squeezed each other tighter. ‘Nothing can break us,’ they’d say. ‘For this love, she was a fighter.’
She ends, “I appreciate, respect and honor you, my treasure, for the family we will create, and our love story that will last forever. So I ask you to raise a glass to the astounding assurance that now life begins, and the everlasting knowing that above all, love wins.”
Her voiceover then fades into home video, as “(You Don’t Know) How Glad I Am” by Nancy Wilson plays, and then text appears on the screen about the Mail on Sunday lawsuit.
