Meghan's Honest Remark About Marriage Is A Bit Sad

Marrying into the royal family can't be easy - even for a famous former actress like Meghan Markle. While attending the European premiere of Disney's 2019 remake of The Lion King on July 14th, 2019, in London, the Duchess of Sussex shed some surprising light on her marriage with Prince Harry, hinting that the ongoing media attention surrounding their nuptials hasn't exactly made for a "Hakuna Matata" romance.

Markle and her ginger prince met musician Pharrell Williams, and the "Happy" hitmaker said he was, quote, "so happy" for their union, adding,

"Love is amazing. Love is beautiful. Don't ever take that for granted. But what it means in today's climate, I just wanted to tell you it's so significant for so many of us. Seriously. We cheer you guys on."

Markle thanked Williams as Prince Harry graciously nodded at the touching comment, which sounded like a reference to their groundbreaking interracial marriage. Then Markle got real, telling Williams,

"They don't make it easy."

Williams then responded, "So you understand," to laughter from all assembled.

It's pretty clear what the duchess was hinting at with her honest remark: the intense tabloid scrutiny that she and her family faces at every turn. There have been persistent rumors about the Sussexes' alleged feud with Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton, and a ton of ink and airtime has been dedicated to disparaging public comments from Markle's own estranged family. Plus, the new mom was most recently targeted in both the press and on social media for supposedly holding two-month-old son Archie wrong during an adorable royal family play date at the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day.

All that said, Markle and Prince Harry appear to be as happy as can be after welcoming their first child. Markle gave birth to their baby boy, Archie Harrison Mountbatten -Windsor, on May 6th, 2019. Further breaking new ground, Baby Sussex is the very first multiracial, British-American prince born into the British royal family.

In some related happy news, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry also rubbed shoulders with America's own king and queen of hip hop, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, at the European premiere of The Lion King.

The meeting between these two beloved couples was pretty much everything you'd want it to be. According to Harper's Bazaar, 37-year-old Beyoncé appeared to call Markle "my princess" as the two hugged one another. Reportedly calling little Archie "so beautiful," the former Destiny's Child star allegedly went on to say, "We love you guys." As proud parents of three little ones themselves, the Carters were happy to share some wise words with Markle and her royal hubby. Jay-Z reportedly told the new parents,

"The best advice I can give you: always find some time for yourself."

The mutual love between this fabulous foursome, who were all smiles throughout this sweet greeting, came at no real surprise. Fans of Queen Bey and the British royals alike may remember that the "Crazy In Love" songstress previously paid tribute to Markle and Prince Harry on her website this past February in a post honoring Black History Month, writing,

"Meghan brought many Black traditions to her Royal Wedding including a Chicago-based Black pastor, an amazing gospel choir, and a young Black cellist. At the wedding her culture was front and center, and she and Prince Harry have continued to push the race relations dialogue forward both near and far."

Sure, the gossip rags may not be feeling the love tonight when it comes to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, but superstar musicians like Pharrell Williams and The Carters certainly are … and that's an undeniable win in our book.
