Meghan also shared a sentimental moment from her college days. She recalled babysitting for a family when the father gave her advice about love. “Meghan, when you meet your person one day, I want him to say to you the same thing that I said to my wife when we got married, which is: ‘I vow to always date my wife.'”

She later told Harry about that promise early in their relationship. “And he goes, ‘I vow to always date you,’” she recalled. Meghan explained that the couple remains committed to keeping their relationship alive, just as they did in the beginning.

However, the interview has sparked debate online—not about their love story, but about Meghan’s choice of nickname for Harry. Many took issue with her calling him “H” instead of using his full name. “Calling him H 😂 she really hates the name Harry,” one person wrote.
Another commented, “Something about calling him ‘H’ is somewhat demeaning. Not being able to use his full name? But you want people to make sure they call you Sussex?” Another frustrated viewer added, “Omg, I am not a Meghan hater but, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, the man has a name!! It’s HARRY! Not H!!”
Despite the criticism, others came to Meghan’s defense.“People are weird for disliking someone who is expressing joy and love,” one supporter wrote. The debate continues online as fans weigh in on whether the nickname is a sweet gesture or a sign of disrespect.
