Meghan Markle has opened up about the loss of her privacy in an unaired Oprah interview clip.
The Duchess of Sussex and her husband Prince Harry sat down with the US chat show legend for an explosive tell-all interview, which aired on CBS on Sunday night.
In an exclusive clip to OprahMag.com, Oprah asked the former Suits star: “Shouldn’t you have an expectation that you’re going to have to lose privacy? That’s part of the deal [of dating a royal].”
Meghan responded: “I think everyone has a basic right to privacy. Basic. We’re not talking about anything that anybody else wouldn’t expect.”
“If you’re at work and you have a photograph of your child on your desk, and your coworker says, ‘Oh, my gosh, your kid’s so cute. That’s fantastic! Can I see your phone so I can see all the pictures of your child?'”
“You go, ‘No. This is the picture I’m comfortable sharing with you,'” she explained.
“And then if they double down and say, ‘No, but you already showed me that one. So you have to show me everything. You know what, I’m just gonna hire someone to sit in front of your house, or hide in the bushes and take pictures into your backyard, because you’ve lost your right to privacy… because you shared one image with me.”
The former actress said she and Harry never expected complete privacy, but that they wanted to share the parts of their lives they were comfortable with sharing.
“There’s no one who’s on Instagram or social media that would say, ‘Because I shared this one picture, that entitles you to have my entire camera roll. Go ahead and look through it.'”
“No one would want that. So it’s about boundaries. And it’s about respect.”
