Duchess ‘Energized And Excited’ After Death Of Queen

But asked how she processed the loss of Queen Elizabeth, Meghan shared that it gave her perspective. And it made her consider what to “focus” her energy on. As a result, Markle shared that she feels “energized and excited about all of the things we’ve been building toward.”

Using the royal we to refer to herself and Harry, Meghan shared, “We’re also focused on our foundation. So much of the work we do includes the philanthropic space.” And the Duchess of Sussex also turned her attention to the content deals she and Prince Harry achieved with mega-companies Netflix and Spotify.

But the mom of son Archie Harrison, 3, and daughter Lilibet Diana, 1, also offered a glimpse of what viewers can expect from the long-awaited documentary featuring Meghan and Harry. “It’s interesting,” admitted Markle. And she pointed out that the lights and camera are new to the Duke of Sussex.

“My husband has never worked in this industry before,” noted Meghan. “For me, having worked on “Suits,” it’s so amazing to be around so much creative energy and to see how people work together and share their own points of view. That’s been really fun.” However, the Duchess of Sussex also admitted that the documentary “may not be the way we would have told it. But that’s not why we’re telling it. We’re trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens.”
