The words bombshell will continue being overused as Prince Harry shares more about his royal life with and before wife Meghan Markle.
He told Armchair Expert podcast host, Dax Shephard many things that would leave royal watchers’ jaws on the floor.
Maybe this is Oprah Winfrey, 2.0?
Shepard asked Harry everything under the sun from his infamous naked pictures in Las Vegas in 2012, how Meghan would sneak out of Buckingham Palace when they first started dating and that being a royal felt like being in a zoo.

Harry said he felt caged: “It’s a mix between the Truman Show and living in a zoo. The biggest issue for me was that being born in it you inherit the risk. Because of the way the UK media are, they feel ownership over you. ”
Prince Harry says he did want the royal “job” any more or part of it since his early 20s before he met Meghan.
This video is no longer available.
When his wife encouraged him to seek therapy finally started seeing things differently. “Okay, you in the position of privilege, stop complaining, stop thinking you want something different. Make this different, because you can’t get out. So how are you going to do this different and make your mum proud?”
Harry said at the start of his relationship with Meghan they used to act as if they didn’t know each other at a supermarket and would text each other from the other end of the aisle.
The reaction to the interview has been mixed.
Perhaps the most out of touch part of Prince Harry’s entire interview is that he thinks Whole Foods in Kensington is a regular supermarket!

How many more times are we going to hear about poor Prince Harry’s upbringing and the impact on his mental well being? Charles, I am sure, did his very best for both his sons. It is not fair or healthy for LA “Haz” to keep blaming his dad for all his woes.
