Prince Harry (38) says of Meghan Markles (41): "She sacrificed everything she ever knew, the freedom she had, to join me in my world".
And further: "And soon after that I sacrificed everything I know to live with her in her world".

At first glance, the first part in a three-pack is not as groundbreaking as announced.
The series features tears from Meghan, who repeatedly compares Harry to Princess Diana and reflects on how both his mother and wife have been hounded by the press.
There is also a series of taunts against King Charles III and his brother Prince William (40).
Nice for the fans: you can see little Archie (3), daughter Lilibet (1) and Meghan's mother Doria (66) has her say.
Despite all the criticism, there are also conciliatory tones
David Olusoga (52), author of the book Black and British, explains in the series: "Who would have dreamed that Britain would have a black princess?
Who could have imagined that?
It was the conclusion of a story so improbable as to be amazing."
The role of Great Britain in the Atlantic slave trade is explained in a brief history digression.
Speaking about Harry and Meghan's engagement, however, Mr Olusoga explains in the Netflix documentary that he feels the royal family has "catching up with the rest of Britain".
Royals attack over 'alleged racism' and 'unconscious bias'

King Charles can't let that sit on him.
Meghan recalls the early days: The royals would get upset about her outfit and whether her earrings were from a British designer before making sure the tags had been removed, while Harry added: "And then the zipper broke .
The whole thing was just ridiculous."
