In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex said of her husband Prince Harry that “He loves me so boldly, fully, and he also has a different perspective because he sees media that I wouldn’t.”
She also said: “No one in the world loves me more than him, so I know he’s always going to make sure that he has my back.”
In the interview, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex also added that “I’m a mom with kids at that age where they are constantly learning something new. I watch them face things that feel completely insurmountable every day. But you can remember and say, ‘I know it seems really hard right now, but trust me, that’s going to come so easily soon.’ I can give myself the same grace as a founder. There’s no such thing as perfect. I, too, get to make mistakes.”
In April 2026, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry underwent a four-day tour of Australia and arrived at Melbourne Airport on a commercial Qantas flight from Los Angeles. The couple were last in the country a few months after their wedding in 2018.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the Royal Children’s Hospital,and whilst they were there, the couple took part in a garden therapy session with patients. For her visit to the hospital, the Duchess of Sussex wore a dress by Australian designer Karen Gee.
Karen Gee showed photos of the Duchess of Sussex on her Instagram and wrote: “Seeing Meghan, Duchess of Sussex step out in Karen Gee on day one of her return to Australia felt deeply personal for me.
“Since her first visit in 2018, a genuine relationship has been built over time, and to see her choose Karen Gee again is something I don’t take lightly. That kind of continued support means so much, it speaks to trust, consistency, and a shared appreciation for timeless and considered pieces.
“As a founder, it’s incredibly humbling to know that a woman can return to your designs years later and still feel like they are the right choice. It’s a quiet reminder of why I started. To create pieces women can rely on time and time again.
“Thank you to everyone for the beautiful messages of support, I appreciate all of you, more than you know.”
