Meghan, 39, also claimed she has never talked about privacy in the unseen clip on OprahMag.com.
And she accused those suggesting the couple are trying to hide from their roles as public figures as a “false narrative”.
It comes as…

- ITV Hub crashed as the interview was broadcast on the UK screens

She added: “I’ve never talked about privacy.”
The comment comes just weeks after she successfully sued the Mail on Sunday for breaching her privacy after they published a handwritten letter to her estranged dad Thomas Markle.
Meghan also opens up about the invasion of privacy she experienced when she began a relationship with Prince Harry.
Oprah asks whether she should have expected to lose a certain degree of privacy when dating a royal.
Meghan responds: “I think everyone has a basic right to privacy. Basic. We’re not talking about anything that anybody else wouldn’t expect.”
The former actress then explains what this means to her, continuing: “If you’re at work and you have a photograph of your child on your desk, and your coworker says, ‘Oh, my gosh, your kid’s so cute. That’s fantastic! Can I see your phone so I can see all the pictures of your child?’ You go, ‘No. This is the picture I’m comfortable sharing with you.”
Meghan explains how it’s “all about boundaries” as she discusses how sharing one picture doesn’t meant the world is entitled to your whole life.
She said: “There’s no one who’s on Instagram or social media that would say, ‘Because I shared this one picture, that entitles you to have my entire camera roll. Go ahead and look through it.’
“No one would want that. So it’s about boundaries. And it’s about respect.”
The clip is the latest to emerge from the sensational interview, which aired in the UK last night, amid claims more footage could still drop.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are understood to have spoken with Oprah Winfrey for a total of three hours and 20 minutes for their bombshell chat – but only one hour and 25 minutes of footage was aired.
It means there is still one hour and 55 minutes left to show, raising the possibility of further explosive revelations being drip fed by US television.
The interview was first aired in the US – in the early hours of Monday morning in the UK.
And 24 hours on from the interview’s first broadcast, senior members of the Royal Family – including the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William – were still said to be locked in crisis talks.
The Times reported overnight that the Queen had refused to sign off a prepared statement – with the monarch reportedly wanting more time to consider her response.
Harry and Meghan’s incendiary interview with Oprah has already sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace.
Meghan, 39, claimed Archie wasn’t made a prince after “concerns and conversations” about “how dark” his skin would be when he was born.
She also revealed she had felt suicidal and “didn’t want to be alive anymore” after joining the royals.
