Hey there, friends! Let’s dive into something a little different today. Matt Smith, the talented actor known for his role as Prince Philip in the hit Netflix series The Crown, recently shared some heartfelt thoughts about Meghan Markle’s engagement to Prince Harry. Now, Matt isn’t just talking as himself; he’s bringing a little of that regal insight from his character into the conversation. So, buckle up, because we’re about to explore what he had to say about one of the most talked-about royal romances in recent history.
During a promotional event for the upcoming second season of The Crown in New York City, Matt opened up about the monumental transition Meghan is facing by joining the royal family. "I feel sorry for her," he candidly admitted. "It's such a massive shift in her life. Taking on the royal family is no small feat. Life as she knows it is going to change forever. But hey, she's marrying the prince of Britain — how thrilling is that for her?" Matt’s words carry a mix of empathy and excitement, recognizing both the challenges and joys that come with a royal union.

Matt Smith's Royal Perspective
Now, here’s the really interesting part. Matt sounds a lot like his character, Prince Philip, when he talks about the complexities of royal life. In The Crown, we see the power struggles and personal sacrifices that come with being part of the royal family. Matt’s understanding of these dynamics gives his comments a unique depth. “I feel like I understand [Prince Philip] more emotionally. I’m very fond of him, actually. I’d defend him to the hilt,” he revealed in a previous interview. “We shine a light on the challenges they faced, which were incredibly tough, as any marriage would be if it lasted that long. But look at them — they seem incredibly happy right now.”
Harry and Meghan: A Modern Royal Love Story
One thing that sets Harry and Meghan’s relationship apart is its modernity. The stars of The Crown agree that a marriage like theirs wouldn’t have been possible in the past. This is a stark contrast to Princess Margaret’s storyline in Season 1, where she faced restrictions that wouldn’t apply today. Claire Foy, who plays Queen Elizabeth, explained, “You realize the fact that Elizabeth forbade her sister from marrying a divorced man; it shows how much times have changed and how the monarchy has adapted. And they really have. This would not have been conceivable, this would not have happened 50 years ago. And I think that’s why the monarchy will continue to thrive, because it’s willing to change and listen to the people, recognizing that some traditions are outdated and unnecessary.”
