… The British are incredibly excited, listen, we’ve had sort of this bad rap as Americans, because of Wallis Simpson. So the British are like, ‘Another American divorcee. Look at what happened the last time.’ The last time King Edward had to abdicate because he wanted to marry the love of his life, and now Harry’s able to marry the love of his life without having to go through any red tape, and he immediately got the queen’s blessing.

The biggest piece of advice I would give Meghan… stay American, keep your American roots, keep your American accent… Don’t let the weather bring you down. It’s easy to do. And still have that high energy because that is what… I really feel that the English love about Americans. Our optimism, our energy, our go-getting attitude. And the cup is always half-full for us… Keep that and stay rooted in your American traditions and culture.

I found out my husband was part of this noble family simply by looking at a credit card of his that had his title on it, his credit card had Viscount Hinchingbrooke on it.

She can’t just really call people a lot of the times, especially in a public function, by their first names, and understanding that when she addresses somebody like another Duke or another Duchess, it would be ‘your grace,’ when she addresses Kate [Middleton] and [Prince] William, it would be ‘your royal highness.’.

I had to wear a tiara to my wedding and it was a family tiara, … I’ve heard a lot of people say that they’re predicting she’s going to wear a British designer. I’m going to go out of the box. I think she’s going to wear an American designer, but then she’s going to have that British tiara on top of her head. That’s history right there, rooted on top of her, but she’s going to have that American designer all over her… She’s going to basically link the two together.

We know that she hasn't been able to make all of the engagements that I think everybody expected her to make for the platinum jubilee, she's kind of picking and choosing. I do think she's kind of picking the ones that she also really wants to go to.

I think it's going to be one big street party across the nation, it's a four-day party and I think everybody knows that this is the last big jubilee and people are going to be celebrating.

Of course, we were all wondering if they were going to come over and if they were, would they be on that balcony for that photo opportunity that we're all looking for.

I think she felt it was an opportunity for her to not only share it with the world, but she hoped the royal family was actually listening.

100 percent. Im sure thats being negotiated now, and if shes just done a voice-over for a Disney film, nothings going to stop her [from] eventually either going back into acting or taking a role of producing or directing these documentaries and mini-series.
