Meghan Markle is opening up about her marriage to Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, appeared on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, a podcast hosted by the founder of IT Cosmetics, on Monday, April 28. While there, Meghan praised Prince Harry, 40, and opened up about life with their two children: Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
“It’s not something to be taken for granted when you have a partner, a spouse, who is just so behind you,” she said. “H, that man loves me so much. Look what we’ve built? We have a beautiful life, we have two healthy children.”
She went on to make an analogy of their relationship. “I always think about it like the end of Super Mario Bros. When you get to the final final level and they say, ‘Slay the dragon, save the princess.’ I’m like, that’s my husband,” said the Duchess of Sussex.
“He’s constantly going to do whatever he can to make sure that our family is safe and protected, and we’re uplifted and still make time for date nights.”

Prince Harry returned for the second year in a row to the Living Legends of Aviation ceremony, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Friday, April 25, to honor the fire department.
“This past January, when fires swept through over 50 square miles of Los Angeles County — threatening homes, businesses, communities — we saw that spirit in action. We saw courage. We saw commitment. And we saw an extraordinary group of men and women take to the skies, also risking their lives to protect people they would never meet,” the Duke of Sussex said.
He continued, “It has reminded us that in a world full of noise, there are still quiet heroes among us — steady, capable, and brave.”
