“I felt trapped and so are my family,” Harry told the TV icon. “My father and brother are trapped in the system like the rest of my family are. They don’t get to leave. I have huge compassion for that.”

The former duke went on to explain at first he “didn’t know (he) was trapped” and credited his wife for allowing him to escape the monarchy.

It was Harry who dropped the gender reveal, simply stating “It’s a girl!!” A fitting announcement for International Women’s Day.

“Grateful, having any child, any one or a two would have been amazing, but to have a boy and then a girl . . . now we’ve got our family and we’ve got four of us,” the royal added. 

The couple, however, confessed that their daughter will be the final child for the two of them. “Two is it,” Prince Harry put simply.
