7:15 am
asked about it later she went on to attack the senator. >> this is unreal. totally agree with meghan. notally did he say that, he was standing in front of a portrait of andrew jackson who signed the indian removal act that basically led to the trail of tears and death march for these people. this white house is wile e. coyote. every time they blow themselves up. >> i guess that will be the last word. now to that desperate search in north carolina for a 3-year-old who disappeared in the middle of the night. abc's steve osunsami has that story. >> reporter: the fbi is now working with north carolina authorities searching for this 3-year-old girl who disappeared from her bed early monday morning. >> i love her. i would do anything, just bring her home, please. safe and sound. she's my baby. she's my everything. >> reporter: the mother of 3-year-old mariah

7:33 am
shame that that is the climate in this world to focus that much on that or that it would be discriminatory in that sense but i think, you know, at the end of the day i'm really just proud of who i am and where i come from and we have never put any focus on that. we have just focused on who we are as a couple. >> reporter: markle's engagement to the prince not her first. the actress married to a tv producer in 2011 and divorced him two years later. the last british royal to marry a divorcee king edward viii. >> you've met quite a few. >> i have on both sides of his family. his mom's side as well which is really important to me. we've had a nice time getting to know them and progressively helping me feel a part of not just the institution but also part of the family. >> reporter: markle raised in los angeles where she attended an all girls c

8:20 am
and talked about rescue dogs. it wasn't so much about what the hollywood world was about or really her show at the time but about life and i think that's what is so great. she could talk to you. >> you're happy when she said she likes tequila. >> yes. >> what do you make of the markle sparkle? >> oh, gosh, i think this is the very beginning of this huge wave we're going to ride in terms of meghan and her popularity and her fascination. people are just going to be clamoring for more and more. we saw those websites crashing for what she was wearing yesterday and she looked phenomenal and such an accessibility about her that girls in america particularly will clamor for her tile. >> how do you describe her tile. >> i have to say even between her and kate like there's something regal and classy about kate and not that meghan isn't but there is almost a laid back cool girl about her and when i used to talk to meghan about her character rachel on "suits" she said she would put on pencil skirts and feel the character but her personal style
8:21 am
different and i never really thought that but it was interesting how she always classified herself. >> many people commenting on what she wore yesterday. >> she looked phenomenal. the white coat and simplicity of that and dress and interestingly enough she didn't wear stockings. i think why talked about that which is in the royal handbook of fashion, it's a big beginning of being a rule breaker in a way and that was really great, even the green dress she wore was on the website with sleeves and she chose the sleeveless version. >> i know you love the telestrator. want to emphasize a difference here. >> so we have kate and we have meghan both wearing a similar black lace dress at an event. if you look at kate right away she wears the longer hemline. almost below the knee and always does sort of that sensible shoe and the way it is still a heel but manageable but meghan is always a little bit -- the hemlines were shorter. always got that higher heel. maybe things are a little bit sexier. in a way it's a little more american red carpet. >> wing/win both sides. you can't go
8:22 am
way. they both own how they look. they look very comfortable. >> absolutely. there's always a youthful spirit about meghan in a way there's an ease and see that difference between wildcat and harry there's an east about harry and i can see why they like -- >> casual wear and accessories. >> i love the idea of them both in jean, even that fees very different. i mean you look at kate and always very pulled together in her blazer and striped shirt and all of those things and jeans and sensible shoe. look at meghan showed up at the invictus games which is her first time with harry in ripped jeans and an oversized men's shirt and i think that was a really telling sign that that's really genuinely who she is. >> yeah, that is. well, you saw adrienne elude to it, the wedding gown. what do you think? >> well, listen, she -- i think -- i feel like she would and probably wear a british designer. it could be someone like that. i'm putting my bets on stella mccartney. fun, youthful and could make something beautiful. it most

[ applause ] but, but, but a lot of people you don't have the money for the cash down payment, you don't -- you can't afford the mortgage or the closing costs which are always paid up front and for that situation, of course, it's better to rent because it's cheaper. >> yeah, a lot of millennials renning probably because of that reason. >> you know what, a lot of millennials are renting because they're paying off a lot of student debt. that's a tremendous burden. they're also starting families later and so
