In the new episode of her podcast "Archetypes", Duchess Meghan looks back to 2017. After her engagement, she studies for the British citizenship test - and finds that even Prince Harry can't answer all the questions. The Duchess is finally spared the "difficult" test.
According to his wife, Duchess Meghan, the British son of the king, Prince Harry, was unable to answer some of the questions in the British naturalization test. "This citizenship test is so difficult," the 41-year-old said on the new episode of her podcast Archetypes. "I studied for it and I remember thinking 'Oh my God'." She then asked her husband Harry for help. "And he's like, 'I have no idea,'" Meghan said in an interview with actress Pamela Adlon.
In 2017, the British royal family announced the engagement of the US-born Meghan to Harry, the younger son of today's King Charles III. At the time, the Royal Family announced that former actress Meghan Markle would become a British citizen. In 2020, Meghan and Harry resigned from their royal duties and moved to the United States. According to media reports, Meghan gave up her efforts to get a British passport at the time. She did not comment on this in the podcast.
The 41-year-old also chats with Sophie Trudeau, wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in the new episode. Meghan tells how they spent a vacation day together with their children in the summer. "It wasn't a day when we were wives and mothers dressed up in updos and jewelry and demure smiles," Meghan said.
"This was the other version of us: both with wild curly hair and bathing suits and loose clothes and laughing till our tummy hurts, lots of snuggling with our little ones and soft girly whispers on the patio, goofy like schoolgirls." Meghan emphasized: "We had so much fun." With the episode called "Good Wife / Bad Wife, Good Mom / Bad Mom" she wants to shed light on how women can break out of socially defined role models, Meghan said.
