Like I was a hugger, I’ve always been a hugger. I didn’t realize that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.” She added, “I guess I started to understand really quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside. There is a forward-facing way of being, and then you close the door and you are like, ‘Oh, great. We can relax now.’ But that formality carries over on both sides. And that was surprising to me “

So I was like, well what’s a color that they’ll probably never wear? Camel? Beige? White? So I wore a lot of muted tones, but it also was so I could just blend in. Like, I’m not trying to stand out here. So there’s no version of me joining this family and trying to not do everything I could to fit in. I don’t want to embarrass the family.”

In a trailer for the rest of the docuseries, footage of them trying tearful is proven as Harry says, “There was no other option at this point. I said, ‘We need to get outta here.'” Meghan provides, “This is when a family and a family business are in direct conflict.”
The remaining three episodes will drop on Netflix on Dec. 15.
