In their corner. Gayle King has stood by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle amid their many royal controversies over the years.One year before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to step back from their senior royal duties in January 2020, the CBS Mornings cohost was among many celebrity guests at Meghan’s New York City baby shower.“[She’s] a really, really sweet person,” King shared on a February 2019 episode of CBS This Morning. “It was a very, very small private affair and just a very special time for her.” Meghan gave birth to the couple’s first child, son Archie, in May of that year, followed by their daughter, Lilibet, in June 2021.In 2020, Harry and Meghan announced their decision to become financially independent from the royal family while splitting time between the U.S.

and the U.K. “This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity,” read a statement from the pair at the time.The couple later shed more light on the decision after they attempted to negotiate with his family behind closed doors.

In March 2021, Harry said he was scared of “history repeating itself,” referring to his mother, Princess Diana, who died after a car chase with the paparazzi in 1997, following years of his wife being scrutinized in the British press.Meghan also claimed during the joint CBS interview that during her pregnancy with Archie, there were “concerns and conversations” within the palace about “how dark his skin might be when he’s born.” Around that time, she also opened up to Harry about having suicidal thoughts.In order to view
