Prince Harry reveals advice from Queen to Meghan Markle

Prince Harry has revealed how his wife Meghan Markle ‘bonded’ to her late grandmother, the Queen, telling her how much she wanted to be a mother.

The sweet moment occurred during Meghan’s first joint engagement with the late Monarch, which saw them travel to Cheshire on June 17, 2018, the Duke of Sussex recounted in his explosive memoir, Spare.

The Duchess of Sussex came home to tell Harry that she and the Queen had strengthened their bond through their love of dogs, and that she had told the monarch that she wanted to be a mother.

Harry recounts that his grandmother told Meghan that the best way to induce labor was a “bumpy car ride.”

Writing about Meghan’s first engagement to the Queen, Harry writes that his wife was “sparkling” when she returned from the trip, telling him: “We bonded.”

“We talked about how much she wanted to be a mother and she told me that the best way to induce labor was a good bumpy ride. I told her that she would remember it when the time came,” she quotes Meghan in the book.

The conversation occurred a month after Harry and Meghan’s marriage, and marked a moment of renewed hope for the couple, Harry admits in the book.

Five months later, the couple announced they were expecting their first child, first for the King and Prince of Wales, and then for the rest of the family during a drinks reception for Princess Eugenie’s wedding in October 2018.

The Duchess of Sussex became pregnant five months after her engagement to the Queen and gave birth to their son Archie on May 6, 2019 (pictured at the Natural History Museum in February of that year)

Their son Archie was born at Portland Hospital on May 6, 2019, and Harry joked that he doesn’t remember if the couple tried his grandmother’s recommended method of inducing labor with a bumpy ride.

In contrast, Harry said the couple felt “more secure and at ease” attending Lilibet’s delivery two years later.

The Duke of Sussex made the intimate revelations in his memoir, which was published today.

The royal also made several television appearances to promote the book ahead of its release, including on ITV in the UK and CBS in the US.

Prince Harry recalled that the couple ate Nando’s, listened to Sanskrit music and that he hoarded the laughing gas during Meghan’s first birth (pictured with son Archie and mother Doria Ragland in 2019).

Last night, Harry appeared on The Latest Stephen Colbert Show, where the host poked fun at the book and the royal family before the segment.

The comedian compared his life to Harry Potter, and jokingly, the new book is available as a royal commemorative plaque.

The Duke of Sussex was also seen drinking tequila shots in an interview with The Late Show in New York after he was dragged into the studio by armed bodyguards yesterday.

Harry is at the end of his transatlantic TV blitz promoting his new memoir Spare, out today.

After playing a clip in which Harry describes his grief over William trying to avoid him at Eton, the Late Show host said between laughs: “That’s heartbreaking.” Being rejected by his older brother at school even though that magic hat sorted them into the same house. What do you think? Hufflepuff? Gryffindor?

In another preview, Colbert said Spare is available in hardcover, audiobook and “commemorative plaque,” a joke at the expense of Harry and other royals whose weddings and anniversaries are celebrated in limited-edition crockery and crockery.

And then, in another joke at Harry’s expense, and at the expense of the royal family, including the queen, Colbert says, “Stock up on corgis and steal a priceless cultural treasure from one of your colonies because The Late Show is going imperial.”

Harry recalled that the birth of his daughter Lilibet, which took place on June 4, 2021 in California, was much calmer than Archie’s.

After a series of sober TV interviews, which some critics claim failed to adequately question the contradictions in his book, the prince chose to do The Late Show and it looks like he’s going to make quite the funny figure.

Harry was seen sipping shots of tequila in an interview with The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert yesterday ahead of its US broadcast tonight.

Fans who attended the taping at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City told DailyMail.com that the Duke of Sussex answered a series of questions from the late-night host in his Colbert Questionert segment.

The quiz devised by the liberal comedian and TV presenter consists of 15 questions that he says “cover the entire spectrum of human experience.”

Among the questions they ask their guests are what their favorite sandwich is, what app they use the most on their phone, and even what number Colbert is thinking of at the moment.

It is not known what he replied, but people at the studios managed to film a glimpse of the segment in which Harry was speaking as he double-parked with two shots of tequila which he then drank.
