Drew Barrymore Flusters Meghan Markle With Comment About Her Marriage To Prince Harry: “What Is She About To Say?”

What to Watch

Meghan Markle made a surprising daytime television appearance on this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, where host Drew Barrymore asked about her love story with Prince Harry.

Barrymore — who carefully referred to the Suits alum as “Megan Sussex” — flustered her guest when she pointed out how “hot” she and Prince Harry are for one another.

“Every time I ever know anyone who ever knows you guys talk about how hot  — this is the keyword. Everyone. And they are different people from different walks of lives,” Barrymore began, while Markle nervously asked, “What is she about to say?”

Barrymore continued, “They go, ‘They’re so hot for each other,’” prompting Markle to giggle like a schoolgirl as she put her face into the palms of her hands.

“Hearing you, there is such a romance to it,” Barrymore added. “Every time I see a photo of you, you’re holding hands, you’re kissing, you are so affectionate.”

Markle — who was promoting her new Netflix series With Love, Meghan — gushed over her husband, with whom she shares son Archie, 5, and daughter Lilibet, 3.

“Life is full of surprises,” she said. “I did not expect to meet H and for this to be our love story. I’m very lucky I’m married to the funniest, sweetest, most charming … and he’s an amazing father. I count my blessings because I have him.”

According to Markle, the secret to their fairytale marriage was the royal’s vow to “always date” her early on in their relationship.

“We have this connection I think because we’re so committed to treating each other the same way you did before you had a ring on it, before it was locked down, when you’re just courting each other and you can see all the good and joy in that butterfly period,” she said. “And I think that’s what keeps things really alive.”
