The Emmy winner also claimed that Meghan “clearly” had an “ambition” when she married Harry.
“The childhood dreams of marrying Prince Charming and all of that we see as a fantasy that our life could be in our dreams,” he argued, calling himself a “Cinderella person.”

He said that although royalists would say the system was a “tradition”, his thoughts were “Fuck it, go ahead”.
