Prince Harry and Meghan Markle admitted during their Oprah interview they considered moving to New Zealand.
The couple say they "never left" the royal family, but instead wanted to step down from being senior royals "to take a breath" – perhaps in a country like New Zealand. They say that request was denied.
"My biggest concern was history repeating itself," Harry says, referring to his mother's death: "To receive no help at all and to be told 'This is just how it is, we've all been through it'"
Oprah asks Harry to tell her in the simplest terms why he left.
As a couple the pair have only visited New Zealand once, back in 2018, where they were met with huge crowds when out and about.
