As public scrutiny over Meghan began to close in around her and Harry following the news of their engagement, Meghan recalls the tabloid drama surrounding her father and half-sister Samantha. She clarifies that it was difficult to stay quiet on the subject because she\u2019d become close with her sister\u2019s daughter, Ashleigh. In many ways, the pair had formed a sisterly bond that was never really shared publicly. According to Meghan and Harry, because of Samantha\u2019s comments to the press, the couple had to ask Ashleigh to not attend their wedding for fear of stirring up more negative public commentary. According to the three of them, it was a devastating situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magical Christmas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He even addressed the controversy of his wearing a Nazi uniform as a costume in the 2000s. He calls the moment the \u201cbiggest mistake\u201d of his life and is just one of the few aspects of his life he hopes to change through educating himself on the matter. Harry also credits being part of the military with helping to burst the barrier between Royal life and normal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
