eghan Markle has shared her top tips for a happy and successful marriage in a touching moment with a royal fan.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, appeared to reflect on her own relationship with Prince Harry in a video filmed by a fan during their joint trip to Australia last week.

“Have a wonderful, beautiful marriage and a lifetime of love. Sending you love all over the world. Your dad is awesome.”

The couple left the royal family in 2020 and moved to the US, where they have raised their two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.

Meghan previously opened up about her marriage to Harry in November, telling Harper’s Bazaar: “He loves me so boldly, fully, and he also has a different perspective because he sees media that I wouldn’t. 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.”

He only responded “I don’t think so” when asked if his words could affect King Charles and Queen Camilla’s state visit to the US next week.

Speaking from Ukraine, Harry said: “I will always be part of the royal family and I’m here working, doing the very thing I was born to do and I enjoy doing it. I enjoy being able to do these trips and support the people that I’ve met before and the friends that I’ve made.”
