Meghan Markle reveals one surprising thing she misses about UK after fleeing to US with Prince Harry
Meghan Markle has revealed the one strange thing that she misses about the UK after she and Prince Harry made their move to the US five years ago.
Back in 2020, Meghan and Harry stepped down from their royal duties as senior royals and moved overseas to California to build a private life for their children.
Since the move, the pair have gone on to welcome their second child, Lilibet, in 2021, and the couple have been sharing their lives - and snaps - with their two children.
This year, the Duchess of Sussex also started her own TV series, called With Love, Meghan, which made its Netflix debut in March.

Since the pair moved, it's reported that Meghan has visited the UK only a handful of times, but there is something she misses about Britain, which she revealed in the second series of her show.
In a chat with her guest, Queer Eye star Tan France, the Duchess explained that she misses one radio show in particular.
"Honestly, one of the things I miss the most about the UK is the radio station called Magic," she said.
France, who is from Doncaster, UK, responds: "Magic FM. Wow! Now, sorry to say this to you publicly, but that's such a grandma station."
Meghan then admits: "I'll be that grandma."
Elsewhere in their chat, the former Suits star also opened up about the most arduous 'three weeks' of her life.
The pair were talking about their children growing up, as France, who has two sons, told the Duchess: "You know what’s funny? When parents are like, 'Oh, I just can’t wait for them to go to college and be out'.
"I’m like, 'I never want my children to leave'. They’re not allowed to get married. Not allowed to leave my house."
Meghan agreed, adding: "I’ll miss them so much. You want to be the parent who’s like, 'Yes, go do it. Go do your thing. Go live that life'. But I’m going to miss you so much."
Recalling a period of time where she and Prince Harry were separated from Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet for three weeks, she continued: "The longest I went without being around our kids was almost three weeks. I was...not well."
While she never explicitly states when this happened, it is believed that she was talking about the late Queen Elizabeth's funeral, when she and Harry travelled to the UK and stayed for the funeral procession.
Prince Harry also wrote in his memoir that they 'couldn’t let them [Archie and Lilibet] out of their sight' when arriving back home in the US.
Elsewhere in the second season, Meghan hosts Chrissy Teigen, David Chang and Jay Shetty.
What else did we learn from season two of With Love, Meghan?
When Harry said "I love you"
The Duchess revealed it was Prince Harry who'd first dropped the 'L bomb'; however, she said she knew that she was in love with him while on their third date camping in Botswana.
She said: "We met in Botswana and we camped for five days together. You really get to know someone when you are in a little tent."
Meghan's 'terrible' chicken
Delving more into their relationship, Meghan also revealed that she once cooked a 'terrible' roast chicken on a very important night - when Prince Harry proposed to her.
"I will say when I made a roast chicken for my now-husband I was still having a lot of challenges with the conversion of celsius and fahrenheit. I made a horrible chicken that night. I mean, truly terrible," she said.
"The point is you can make a terrible chicken and someone is still going to appreciate the thought."
You can catch all episodes of With Love, Meghan on Netflix now.
