SPRING OF NEXT YEAR.
MARKEL SPARKED SPECULATION,
CLUTCHING TWO LARGE FOLDERS IN
FRONT OF HER STOMACH.
RUMORS SWIRLED DURING PRINCESS
EUGENIE’S WEDDING IN ENGLAND,
WHERE THE DUCHESS WORE AN
OVERSIZED COAT.
OVERSIZED COAT. IT WAS THERE THAT HARRY AND
MEGHAN SHARED THE NEWS WITH THE
QUEEN.
QUEEN. BY THE THIRD DATE, THEY WERE
SLEEPING UNDER STARS IN
BOTSWANA, CAMPING OUT UNDER THE
AFRICAN SKY.
AFRICAN SKY. >> IT WAS AMAZING TO GET TO KNOW
HER AS QUICKLY AS I DID.
>> Reporter: GETTING ENGAGED IN
NOVEMBER, SPENDING CHRISTMAS
WITH THE QUEEN.
MEGHAN AND HARRY BECOMING PART
OF THE FAB FOUR WITH WILLIAM AND
KATE.
KATE. AFTER ANNOUNCING THEIR
ENGAGEMENT DURING A JOINT
INTERVIEW WITH THE BBC IN
NOVEMBER 2017, HARRY WAS ASKED
IF HE AND MEGHAN TALKED ABOUT
HAVING CHILDREN.
HAVING CHILDREN. >> I THINK, OF COURSE.
ONE STEP AT A TIME.
HOPEFULLY WE’LL START A FAMILY
IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

UNFORGETTABLE WEDDING AT WINDSOR
CASTLE FIVE MONTHS AGO, DAZZLING
MEGHAN, MARRYING HER CHARMING IN
PRINCE.
PRINCE. BOY OR GIRL, THE GREAT
GRANDCHILD OF THE QUEEN AND THE
DUKE OF EDINGURGH.
HE WOULD BE SEVENTH IN LINE TO
THE THRONE, FOLLOWING HARRY,
PRINCE CHARLES, PRINCE WILLIAM
AND HIS CHILDREN, GEORGE,
CHARLOTTE AND LOUIS, THE MOST
RECENT ADDITION TO THE ROYAL
FAMILY BORN EARLIER THIS YEAR.
THE NEW BABY WILL PUT AN EVEN
BIGGER SPOTLIGHT ON THE MODERN
ROYAL COUPLE.
ROYAL COUPLE. >> SO CUTE.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM.
LIKE A LITTLE HAPPY NEWS.
NOW, IF IT’S A BOY, IT WON’T BE
A PRINCE OR A PRINCESS, UNLESS
THE QUEEN STEPS IN.
THE SON WOULD BE THE EARL OF
DUMBARTON.
DUMBARTON. YOU DON’T WANT DUM IN YOUR
TITLE.
TITLE. HUH-UH.
HUH-UH. >> SEEMS LIKE A CURSE.
>> THE DAUGHTER WOULD BE MUCH
BETTER.
BETTER. LADY MOUNT BETTEN WINDSOR.
WE’RE ROOTING FOR A GIRL.
THIS IS NOT WITHOUT CONTROVERSY.
YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ANNOUNCED
IT?
IT? AT THE WEDDING OF PRINCESS
EUGENIE.
EUGENIE. >> HERE’S THE THING.
THIS IS SOMETHING WHEN MY
SISTER-IN-LAW WAS PREGNANT.
MY MOM KNEW IT THE FIRST TIME
SHE DIDN’T HAVE A DRINK.
AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN AT THE
PARTY.
PARTY. SHE WAS PROBABLY OFF THE SAUCE,
NOT THAT SHE WAS HITTING IT.
BUT PEOPLE WERE LIKE, YOU’RE NOT
DRINKING.
DRINKING. >> ARE YOU SAYING MEGHAN IS A
BOOZE HOUPDMOUND HOUND AND ONE D
A COCKTAIL, THEY KNOW.
>> MY MOM KNEW THAT.
THE FACT WE WORRY ABOUT THE
ROYAL FAMILY.
ROYAL FAMILY. WE BROKE UP WITH THEM IN 1776.
IN IS LIKE GOING ON YOUR
EX-GIRLFRIEND’S TWITTER GOING,
WHAT IS SHE UP TO NOW?
WHO CARES?
WHO CARES? >> IT MAKES US ALL FEEL -- FOR
ME, THE REASON I LIKE IT, I FEEL
LIKE CINDERELLA WHEN I LIVE
THROUGH THEM.
THROUGH THEM. >> WAIT.
>> WAIT. IT’S INTERESTING COMING FROM
YOU.
YOU. YOUR BOOK IS CALLED "DO NOT
DISTURB."
DISTURB." YOU ARE STEPPING AWAY FROM THE
TWITTER UPDATES ON THE QUEEN.
>> I AM.
>> I AM. I HAD AN ADDICTION TO SOCIAL
MEDIA AND TEXTING AND
TECHNOLOGY.
TECHNOLOGY. I’M A FORMER TEACHER.
>> CAN YOU RELATE TO THIS?
>> ANYONE WHO FINDS THEMSELVES
BURIED IN THEIR PHONE NEEDS TO
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BOOK.
I LOOKED INTO WHAT IT WAS DOING
TO OUR HEALTH.
I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT OUR KIDS
AND IMPORTANT INTERPERSONAL
SKILLS.
SKILLS. THERE’S A RISE IN ADHD, THAT’S
COINCIDING IN A RISE WITH THESE
DEVICES.
DEVICES. WE HAVE AN ATTENTION SPAN LESS
THAN A GOLDFISH.
>> I WASN’T LISTENING.
>> THIS IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY
HEART.
HEART. IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOURSELF AND
YOUR RELATIONSHIPS AND YOU’RE
DATING SOMEONE AND THEY SPEND
MORE TIME PAYING ATTENTION TO
THEIR PHONE MORE THAN YOU,
PLEASE COME ON THIS JOURNEY WITH
ME.
ME. >> I COULDN’T AGREE MORE.
BUT FOLLOW ME @MATTISEMAN.
