Meghan Markle Was Not Having It When Prince Harry Called Himself 'Too Old'
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are settling into their new home in Montecito, California, where they've quietly relocated following their split from their official roles as senior members of the royal family. This week, they made their first appearance together at their new home, via a Zoom call for the Queen's Commonwealth Trust; they still serve as president (Harry) and vice president (Meghan).
Their conversation focused on the role that the internet plays in the world and on its capacity to be used "as a force for good."
Toward the end of their talk, Prince Harry said that many young people have the capacity to make positive change via the online world. He also made a pointed quip about his own age.
"I love that fact that you're all so well connected as well," he said to the other participants on the call, per People. "That's why this platform was created—to bind you guys together. To use that thinking, that awareness, that self awareness that you guys have to be able to make the world a better place," Harry said. "I say 'you'—I want to include us, but I already feel as I'm way too old..."
"You've got to stop," Meghan, who is 39, replied, teasingly, through laughter. "We're not old!"
Harry will turn 36 in September, and Meghan just celebrated her 39th birthday on August 4. Despite not even being 40 years old, Harry loves to joke about his age. During a July call with the Commonwealth Trust, Harry said, "Guys, I'm aging. I'm 35 already."
"That's not aging," Meghan responded then, laughing again.
"It is aging compared to these guys," Harry said.
On that note, happy early birthday, Harry!
