he was the party prince. >> he was photographed incessantly, in one nightclub after another. >> who rebelled against royalty. >> he decided he might leave the royal family. >> haunted by his mother's death. >> it destabilized him and caused chaos for years. >> he struggled to find his way. >> being royal for harry was a burden and a curse. >> she's a former american actress. >> that's right. i need to up my game. >> unlike any royal bride

before, go back a few generations, and everything about meghan markle disqualifies her from marying harry. a modern royal couple who are changing history. >> the couple plans to divide their time between the u.k. and north america. >> redefining royalty. queen elizabeth supports prince harry and meghan marken's decision to step back from royal life. >> tonight, a cnn special report. royal revolution. harry and meghan. i'd never even heard about him until, heard about her until this friend said meghan markle and this friend said i'll give you a bit of background. >> it is july, 2016 in london. when britain's most eligible bachelor, prince harry, was set up on a blind date. >> definitely a set-up. it was a blind date. >> i was beautifully surprised when i walked into that room and

saw her, and there she was sitting there and i said okay, i will have to up my game. >> harry upped his game. and they begin a whirlwind romance. just weeks later, they're vacationing together in botswana, africa. >> we camped out with each other under the stars and we spent five days out there which was absolutely fantastic. >> in the months that follow, they date long distance. meeting up in london, and toronto, where meghan, an actress, is filming her tv show "suits." >> wow, you're pretty. >> you hit on me. we can get it out of the way that i'm not interested. >> the whole time keeping their relationship a secret. >> when they first met, nobody knew about it. >> they are such a charismatic couple. >> penny wrote a biography about harry. >> they kept this relationship quiet. which is itself impressive. it is impressive. i mean the great fear about harry finding a wife was always

going to be the intrusion of the press. because that is what had killed two previous long-term relationships. >> relationships with actress pressa, and his first love chelsea. >> chelsea had experienced the most horrible treatment, photographers waiting for her, call out names, bitch, whore, trying to eight a reaction and i guess she looked and said do i want this for my life? and i met her just before meeting meghan, and we talked about the private life at the time. >> and harry tells her about a quote massive paranoia, he feels, in finding a girlfriend. >> i think harry's great fear was that unless he had enough time to get to know someone, if that relationship prematurely became public, they would be absolutely swamped with media

interest and that would change the dynamic of the relationship. >> and what happens to his mother is never far from his mind. >> harry and his brother still feel that, the press intrusion was partly responsible for his mother's death and thought why would anyone want to put up with this for me? >> harry wants to keep his relationship with meghan private as long as he can. but just four months after that first date, the news is out. and the paparazzi pounce once again. >> it was a photographer who got inside meghan's house in toronto. the paparazzi were camping on her mother's front lawn, and following, and harassing all members of the family. anybody really who knew her. >> despite starring in a tv show, meghan is relatively unknown. now, the british press wants to know who she is and if she's fit for the royal family.

>> she was a woman who had been married, people were fascinated by the fact that she was divorced, people were fascinated by her background, her acting, a career woman, how would that work, being with someone in the royal family, that's no what we've seen before. >> they also have not seen someone biracial dating a member of the royal family. and some of the conversation is blatantly racist. >> there was one newspaper headline saying, straight out of compton, suggesting she was from a gang-ridden neighborhood. >> the journalist recently wrote a book about race, identity, and belonging in britain. >> would harry be jumping her off in gangland, which was very clearly racially loaded, a whole 'nother issue exploded which was the number of rather horrific social media racist comments began to flood in from the darkest vialist corners of the internet. >> the royal family responds in unprecedented fashion.

with prince harry's team releasing a statement, confronting the quote abuse and harassment meghan is facing. >> very unusual for a statement to come out. >> no one understands this better than dickie arbiter, press secretary at the palace for 12 years. >> he made a point that it is not a game, it is people's lives and he was very angry and it was a sort of back-off reminder, what they do to his mother. >> why is it that you think that meghan's upbringing, her race, why did that garner so much attention? >> in the past, members of the royal family, princes, would have married princesses, and when harry's father, prince charles, was looking for a wife, it was also a requirement that a wife should be a virgin. and a member of the church of england. you just go back a few generations, in the royal family, and everything that you can say about meghan markle disqualifies her from marrying

harry. >> kate coin is the executive editor of "people" magazine. >> this is precisely why you had edward abdicating his throne, so he could marry an american divorcee, elizabeth sister's margaret was in love with a divorced man and was not allowed to marry him. >> wasn't charles and diana's marriage and wedding a wakeup call in some ways for the monarchy, you can try to have somebody perk and it has to be a chemistry and you have to love the person, and let them marry who they want. >> i think it was a lesson they learned. >> harry is desperate for history not to repeat itself. and he is anxious to protect meghan. >> harry's statement was the most romantic thing a member of the royal family has ever done. and i think engagement watch was on from that moment. it was let's wait for the ring. >> the ring comes. in november, 2017.

>> prince harry has announced his wedding engagement to american actress meghan markle. >> and the royal family welcomes meghan with open arms. the queen made an exception and break from royal protocol and invited meghan to spend christmas with the royal family and the queen at sandringham, the first time a royal fiance has actually done that before marrying into the royal family. >> a powerful sign the monarchy and the queen are modernizing and changing. >> the royal family now is trying to at least be much more part of society and the queen first and foremost wants her grandson to be happy. >> and that happiness is something that harry has been searching for most of his life. when we come back, the moment that changes everything. >> he didn't really deal with what life without her meant. it destabilized him and caused chaos for years. ♪ ♪

september 15, 1984. prince henry charles albert david is born. >> harry came into the world very different to his brother who was heralded as the next in line to the throne of england. harry was the spare. >> paul berrel was princess

diana's butler. >> so all through harry's formative years, he always knew he was second. >> he was always referred to as the spare. just always second best. and i think that had a profund effect , profound effect on harry. >> his childwood was also impacted by his parent's marital troubles. >> harry grew up in a very tricky household. the prince and princess were never happy together. in a marriage that had failed before it even began. >> i remember the times when diana was shut away and quiet, and crying, and the boys would write messages, please don't cry, mummy, and they would put it under the door. >> when charles and diana divorced, it hit harry hard. then, one year later, his mother is killed. harry is just 12 years old. >> this incredibly loving figure

who had given him so much warmth and comfort and what was a very difficult childhood and extraordinary upbringing, was suddenly gone. >> i remember harry coming back to kensington palace, shortly after the funeral, and he ran down the corridor and flung himself into my arms and cried. and his tears wet my shirt through. he was devastated. >> harry later admits to itv, he has deep regrets about his final phone call with his mother. >> i can't really necessarily remember what i said, but all i do remember is, is probably, you know, regretting for the rest of my life how short the phone call was and if i had known that was the last time i was going to speak to my mother, the things that i would have said to her. looking back on it now, it is

incredibly hard. i have to sort of deal with that for the rest of my life. >> guilt and grief he never expresses at the time. >> i think it was a classic case of don't let yourself think about your mum and the grief and the hurt that comes with it, because it's never going to bring her back and it is only going to make you more sad. people deal with grief in different ways. and my way of dealing with it was by just basically shutting it out, locking it out. >> prince harry arrives here, at eaton, the prestigious boys boarding school, the year after his mother's death. and though he moves into the same house as his older brother william, harry reportedly struggles academically, and is miserable. >> diana always said that she never wanted harry to go to eaton. because he would be compared to his brother's success. and she thought this would be

the undoing of harry's confidence. >> prince harry said that he decided that he was going to be a bad boy. >> journalist angela leven interviewed harry last year at kensington palace. >> so that the reason he didn't do well there was partly his fault. it was deliberate. >> in 2002, headlines emerge, of harry's drinking and marijuana use. for the first time, harry is facing the public pressure that comes with his famous family. >> did it seem to brits that it was more than just typical teenaged antics? >> teenagers do drink too much, they do it badly, it is part of the growing up process, but i personally was worried that there was something deeper. there was a touch of self medication going on. >> after graduating from eaton, harry escapes to africa during his gap year for humanitarian work. >> it was an escape from this

heavy duty world of royalty, always being watched, always being photographed. he could be very ordinary. >> he spends two months in lasutu with children in need and others whose parents died from aids. >> key see that there were holes there in their lives. and i think absolutely, he saw in them something that he felt was missing in his life. care, love and attention, the loss of his mother. >> harry not only falls in love with the children and the country, he begins a serious romance with a wealthy girl from southern africa, chelsea davy. >> she is very free-spirited. not someone who felt bound by world protocol, or tradition, and also shared his love of africa, and you know, which they had traveled extensively through africa together. >> chelsea remains a constant in harry's life for years to come.

>> she also came into his life at a time when he was missing that female figure, to support him, and i think chelsea did that, and understood him, and she could understand that he had been through a very difficult time, and was still going through a very hard time. >> a very hard time that harry struggles to overcome. when we come back -- >> prince harry got so low, that he decided at one point that he might leave the royal family. >> and then, meghan markle's struggle with her biracial identity. >> she has heard the names from others, and she is well aware that is happening for one reason only and that is the color of her mom's skin.

world away from the pomp and circumstance of royal life. >> you hear that someone grew up in los angeles, and you think about swimming pools and palm trees, and beverly hills, and meghan marken's childhood in l.a. was not that. >> born in 1981, she is the only child of doria ragland and thomas markle. >> meghan's father was a

lighting director for a number of shows in the los angeles area. most notably "married with children" and eventually became the director of photography, and that was the sort of behind the scenes less glamorous side of hollywood. >> meghan recounts spending time on the set with her father on the late, late show with craig ferguson. >> i grew up on the set of "married with children" every day for ten years. >> wow. >> i know. it is a very perverse place for a little girl who went to catholic school no less to grow up. >> meghan had every reason to be dazzled by tv, film, the whole on-camera experience, from a very young age, because she grew up around it. >> we all knew she wanted to be an actress. >> christine knudsen is meghan's former teacher. >> she was in the musicals. she was in the plays. should he would sparkle when she got on stage and i think it was just kind of in her blood.

she loved it. >> despite two loving parents, meghan struggles with her biracial identity. >> i think she was kind of grappling a little bit with this sense of her identity and trying to understand who she was. >> josh is a senior writer for "vanity fair" who has covered meghan. >> her father was white. her mother was black. she says when she would fill out forms there wasn't always a bubble that fit her to fill in. she didn't want to circle the one that was implying that her mother, you know, was more important than her father, vice-versa. >> meghan's paren goes out of their way to make sure she does not feel different. but special. >> her dad gave her a sort of barbie doll family, in which there was a black mom, barbie doll, and a white dad ken doll, and then a baby barbie doll in each color. but even that kind of points to how difficult it is to be meghan at that age, because the children were still either

black, or white. and there was no biracial barbie baby doll for meghan. >> while the markle household deals with race head-on, years of built-up racial tensions in the country explode. right in meghan's backyard. >> she was driving i think with her mom, and i think there was like debris and she thought it was snowing and she reeled it was, realized it was actually a riot. >> riots erupt when four white police officers are acquitted in the beating of a black man, rodney king. a moment meghan says impacted her at a young age. >> it definitely opened meghan's eyes to the fact that this was a world that was not always going to treat her fairly. and was not always going to be kind to her or to her family. >> i was teaching here at the time, and i think it destroyed kinds of that feeling that l.a. is just a wonderful place to live, and you have all of these

different kinds of people, and we all get along, and then this just kind of smashed that. >> it's a grim reality for an 11-year-old to face. and one that would always be present. >> meghan witnessed her mother experiencing racism. she has heard the names her mother has been called. and she is well aware that that is happening for one reason only and it's the color of her mom's skin. >> meghan's early experiences with discrimination are not isolated to race. while watching tv advertisements, for a class project, one commercial stands out to her. >> women are fighting greasy pots and pans. >> in the ad, they implied that the product was just for women, who were going to be at home doing the cleaning. >> 11-year-old meghan tells nick news what she thinks. >> i don't think it's right for kids to grow up thinking that just mom does everything. >> she was irate.

because she thought, you know, my dad does dishes. it's not just women who do dishes. why would it be women across america? and she wrote a letter. >> so i was wondering if you would be able to change your commercial to people all over america. >> and wouldn't you know it, it worked. >> the gloves are coming off. people are fighting greasy pots and pans with ivory clear. >> it had to have been such wonderful reinforcement for her, at such a young age, that she could make a difference, that she could take a stand, and have her voice heard, and not be dismissed. >> when we come back, prince harry and the burden of royalty. . >> she really did love him, but being with harry, and the huge circus that came with it was overwhelming for her. >> she didn't want to be a princess. >> i don't think any person wants to be a princess.

outrage around the world, after britain's prince harry shows up in a costume party dressed in a nazi -- >> that seems like a moment of extremely bad judgment. it was a moment of complete and utter thoughtlessness. you know, he was young, he was very troubled, and he was drinking far too much, and he was a bit of a loose cannon. >> at just 20 years old, harry is earning a reputation as

reckless and self destructive. >> he was photographed incessantly after he left school, in the gap year of one nightclub after another. >> and he has a run-in with the paparazzi that leaves the photograph wer a split ip. >> for many years, it was a real worry what would happen to harry because he didn't seem to want to be a royal. he really kicked against it. he wanted to be a normal human being. >> when harry arrives at sandhurst military academy in may 2005, the pressure is on to turn over a new leaf. >> he had not had that discipline for so many years, people were concerned that harry wouldn't find his way. >> sandhurst is nothing like the lavish royal lifestyle that harry has become accustomed to, and throughout the 44-week grueling training course, he's treated like every other soldier. >> it could be said it kind of knocks a bit out of you.

>> general lord richard danit, was chief of the british army. >> in the early days, the first five or six weeks, when the training is really tough, it encourages people to rely on each other, to help each other. >> harry is one of the guys. yet there are painful reminders he's still a royal. >> when his unit deploys to iraq in may, 2007, harry is forced to stay behind. >> there have been a number of specific threats, specifically aimed at prince harry. and it's for that reason that i have decided that the risk to prince harry is too great. >> i think when he was told he couldn't go, it was a really low point for him. >> i didn't sort of join the army thinking i wasn't going to go in operations. it was very hard. and i did think that one of the main reasons i'm not allowed to be going because of who i am. >> but months later, a secret deployment to afghanistan, gives

harry a taste of the front line. >> as far as i'm concerned, i'm out here as a normal person on the ground and not prince harry and it is nice to be a normal person and for once i think it as normal as i am ever going to get. >> it was pretty much a turning point in his life but i think he realized the seriousness of life, really rose to the responsibilities. >> but after ten weeks on the ground, his mission is leaked, and harry is immediately evacuated. >> it wouldn't have taken the taliban or others long to have searched around and perhaps found where he was, so there was a risk to him, but i think also, if there was increased risk to him, there was an increased risk to the other soldiers who were around him. and the safe thing to do was to bring him back. >> he was very angry. to use the words of the private secretary, he was boiling mad. he sort of headed for the gutter. >> what does that look like? >> he started drinking very heavily. he was fed up with who he was.

>> who he was is also causing tension in his relationship with his long-time girlfriend chelsy davy. >> she wasn't that fast at all with the trappings that came with prince harry. >> in april of 2011, harry brings chelsy here to westminster abbey for the wedding of his brother prince william and kate middleton. there are one million people lining these streets. and millions more watching on tv around the world. it's an intense spotlight that chelsy struggles to cope with. >> actually, she was very determined that that would not be her life, and she wanted a career of her own, and ultimately i think that was one of the things that ended their relationship. she didn't want to live inside the goldfish bowl. >> harry does not either. and he is determined to return to the battlefield. >> when he came, he slumped in the chair and said the trouble is i can't be like a normal

young man. that time in afghanistan had given him ten weeks to be a normal young man and he desperately wanted to replicate that again. and he accepted, and he thought the secretary accepted but probably the only way he could go back was within the anonymity of being inside a helicopter. and he therefore needed to learn to fly a helicopter. >> after two years of training, harry not only becomes an apache pilot, he is the top gun on his weapons course. >> he got it on his own. it wasn't because he was a prince. he actually had to fight really hard for it. he was one of the very top apache attack helicopter pilots. >> harry returns to afghanistan, in september, 2012. >> he did exceptionally well. >> brigadier neil sexton was harry's commander on the ground. >> you go out there with the anticipation of having to use the apache weapon systems and to bring them to bear without any collateral damage and also to conduct yourself in a way that's

safe, in the most demanding of environments. >> i actually believe that his success on that apache, on those apache aircraft, was the making of harry. i think harry, who had spent all his life being second best to his brother, being the spare, suddenly found something that he could do and could do better than anybody else. and that gave him confidence that he had never, ever had before. and he just, it changed him, i think. >> when harry leaves the army, after ten years of service, his future is uncertain. >> i don't think there were any career options for a royal prince. it's easy for william, he's heading toward the throne, i think being royal for harry was a burden and a curse. because he was only the spare. what was his job? what was his way forward? >> as harry finds his way,

another romance is on the rocks. this time, with his girlfriend of two years, cressida bonas. >> she really did love him, but i think the situation of being with harry and the huge circus that came with it was overwhelming for her. >> i think she took one look at what life with harry would have involved, and just turned her back on it. you know, she didn't want to be a princess. i don't think any sane person wants to be a princess. >> who would want be to a royal princess? it's a burden. >> when we come back, harry opens up about his royal role. >> he's living this life, he is born into, it is not his choice. he decided he might leave the royal family. >> and then, meghan markle's big break. >> she got lucky. she undoubtedly handed in a great audition, a great screen test and she hit the jackpot. dad, we need to talk about something important.

"suits" radically changed meghan's life. first and foremost, she was now making more money than she had ever made before. ever. >> as the show achieved success, meghan makes big changes in her life. including ending her two-year marriage to hollywood producer trevor engelson. >> when they met, she was still largely an aspiring actress, he was an aspiring producer, they were essentially at the same place in their careers, and then "suits" really took off and they weren't going in the same direction anymore. she was filming in toronto.

and i think he felt at times very cross about that. >> did diana's death affect harry differently than william? >> harry was that much younger and interestingly enough he admitted for the first time to mental health issues. and you can't help but having a mental health issue in terms of having lost a parent, not being able to grieve in the same way as you or i might be able to do. he wasn't able to do that. so he bottled it all up inside him. >> in 2017 harry started opening up and shared his struggle as part of his heads together campaign with prince william and kate to end the stigma around mental health. >> never really talked about losing my mom at such a young age. i always thought to myself what's the point of bringing up the past? ain't going to change it, ain't going to bring her back. and when you start thinking of it like that it can be very damaging. >> and harry ultimately chooses a future he hopes would make his mother proud. >> i felt an overwhelming connection to many of the children i met. >> something he shared with the

bbc. >> now all i want to did is try and fill the holes that my mother has left. that's what it's about for us, is trying to make a difference and in making a difference making her proud. >> he spends much of his time working on the charity he created for the children he met in lesotho, africa. >> you look at harry's work with hiv and aids. that was something his mother, as harry said, smashed through the stigma of that when she was alive. >> and he founded the invictus games, an olympics-style competition that gives wounded veterans a chance to be defined by more than their injuries. >> it's life changing. it really is life changing for them. >> i think he has used his own experience of loss and sadness and bereavement to help these soldiers. and the bereavement doesn't just mean losing someone. it means losing yourself i think

too. >> he's embraced who he is. it took him a long time to get there. but he now fully understands that being prince harry he can make people's lives better by putting his name to things. he's making a difference. >> through it all harry has endeared himself to the public, becoming one of the most popular members of the royal family. >> harry is incredibly likeable. and he is incredibly genuine. what you see is what you get he is so natural with people. much more -- i think he's the most natural member of the family. he throws out the rule book. >> as harry helps carry the monarchy forward, he's doing things his own way, like marrying the woman he loves, not someone british royalty might expect. >> meghan and harry's love story is a terrific story. it has unlimited fairy tale

appeal. >> you were amazing in chicago. >> she does what she feels comes naturally. and harry is the most relaxed member of the royal family. >> do you see any scenario by which harry and meghan overshadow kate and william? >> oh, yes, i do. i do. this immediately was my first thought. this could be a problem. because harry and meghan are a very compelling couple. they're very charismatic and very relaxed and easy and the cameras will follow them. >> since their wedding and the birth of their son, the cameras have followed them. but it's been more controversy and scrutiny than fairy tale. >> the duke and duchess of sussex are setting up their own charitable organization and leaving the royal foundation. >> the sussexes are moving out of the palace they share with the duke and duchess of cambridge in london. a decision that seems to have added to rumors of a rift. >> prince harry says his wife has become one of the latest

victims of a ruthless campaign by the tabloid press. >> harry and meghan have filed lawsuits against multiple british media outlets. >> i will not be bullied into playing a game that killed my mum. >> in a documentary on itv last fall harry and meghan opened up in a way that is rarely seen from the royal family. >> when i first met my now husband my friends were really happy because i was so happy but my british friends said to me, i'm sure he's great, but you shouldn't do it because the british tabloids will destroy your life. and i very naively -- i'm american. we don't have that there. what are you talking about? that doesn't make any sense. i didn't get it. it's been complicated. >> harry was asked about a potential rift between him and william. >> part of this role and part of this job and this family being

under the pressure that it's under, inevitably stuff happens. but look, we're brother. we'll always be brothers. >> after a turbulent year harry and meghan shocked the world and their own family with the announcement that they would step back from the royal family. >> this is seismic in this country. >> they plan to spend the new year becoming financially independent of the monarchy and split their time between england and north america. >> this is a very public breakdown in the family. >> after a crisis meeting with the queen the family is finding a way to give harry and meghan a more independent life. quite possibly losing an amazing asset, prince harry's down to earth charm and natural ability to connect, because he and meghan no longer want to live with the scrutiny and restrictions that come with their roles.

the world waits to see how they will define themselves outside the monarchy. don't touch that dial. we're about to flip it for you. >> in five, four, three, two. >> tv is changing dramatically now with 150 channels that might be available in the near future. >> there's a lot of things that we do that you couldn't have on network television. >> people are really trying to do something adventurous. >> shame on you! >> this is more celebration of culture and opening the doors and allowing america to come on inside. >> there is always something on television and some of it may be better than we deserve. >> that was cool.
