  • Markle and Harry actually wed three days before their royal wedding. The couple secretly got married in their backyard by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby on May 16, 2018.
  • Despite previous reports, it was actually Kate Middleton who made Markle cry before her wedding. "The reverse happened," Markle said while confirming that there had been issues over the flower girl dresses. "It made me cry. It really hurt my feelings . . . And I don't say that to be disparaging to anyone, because it was a really hard week of the wedding, and she was upset about something. But she owned it, and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing."
  • Markle was "silenced" by the royal family for her "protection." When Winfrey asked Markle whether she was silent or silenced, she confirmed that it was "the latter." The duchess was told that she, along with her family and friends, had to respond with "no comment" to any reports about her. Markle initially believed this was to protect her, but she quickly learned she wasn't the one being protected. "They were willing to lie to protect other members of the family," she explained. "But they weren't willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband."
