NEED TO KNOW
Meghan Markle couldn’t stop laughing during a recent photoshoot.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, appeared on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’s winter issue, with the accompanying interview published online on Wednesday, Nov. 19. Days later, she gave a behind-the-scenes look at the photoshoot — including a video of herself having a giggle fit on the set.
On Friday, Nov. 21, Meghan reposted photos from the photoshoot on Instagram Stories and, in between them, shared the BTS footage.
In the first clip, she is overcome with a fit of laughter as she sits on the floor, smiling and posing in a white, button-down shirt. “Behind the shot,” she captioned the video, adding a shoutout to Harper’s Bazaar Editor-in-Chief Samira Nasr, who makes an appearance in the latter half of the clip.

“And a visit from this gem,” Meghan wrote, tagging Nasr, whom she embraces and shares a sweet moment with in the BTS footage.
“My endless gratitude to everyone who was on set,” Nasr later wrote alongside Meghan’s video, which the editor reposted.
In the second behind-the-scenes clip, the Duchess of Sussex laughs with some of the people on set as they react to her facial expressions. She shared no caption with this clip, just tagging the magazine’s Instagram account.
The BTS footage also gave a glimpse into the soundtrack of the Harper’s Bazaar shoot — and the vibe was early 2000s. In the clips, Ashanti’s “Foolish” and Maroon 5’s “Sunday Morning” can be heard blasting as Meghan strikes various poses.

In the pages of the winter issue, Meghan opened up to Harper’s Bazaar about a variety of topics, including some she rarely comments on — including her marriage to Prince Harry.
“He loves me so boldly, fully, and he also has a different perspective because he sees media that I wouldn’t,” she said of the prince, 41. “No one in the world loves me more than him, so I know he’s always going to make sure that he has my back.”
A portion of Harry’s allure, Meghan shared, is that he is “someone who just has this childlike wonder and playfulness.”
“I was so drawn to that, and he brought that out in me,” she told the magazine. “That’s translated into every part of our life. Even in business, I want us to play and have fun and explore and be creative.”
