With his upcoming memoir, Spare, set to be released next week, Prince Harry has taken part in two interviews to promote its release - one with US journalist Anderson Cooper and the second with ITV's Tom Bradby.
But it won't be the first time that the Duke of Sussex has spoken to the seasoned ITV journalist.
Over three years ago, Meghan first opened up about how she had struggled to cope as a mother and member of the royal family.
The pair had been on their 10-day tour of Africa when Tom asked Meghan if she was OK, prompting her to thank him for the question.
"Thank you for asking because not many people have asked if I’m ok," she replied. "But it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes."

"Yes," she replied.
During the same tour, Harry also spoke about how his grief for mum Diana was still a "wound that festers" and that being followed by the press was the "the worst reminder of her life as opposed to the best".
"I think probably a wound that festers," he said. "I think being part of this family, and this role, and this job, every single time I see a camera, every single time I hear a click, every single time I see a flash, it takes me straight back.

Harry hinted racism played a part in his life saying his mother was “chased to death while in a relationship with someone who wasn’t white”.
He added he feared “history repeating itself” with wife Meghan.

“My mother was chased to her death while she was in a relationship with someone who wasn’t white,” he said.
“And now look what’s happened.
“You want to talk about history repeating itself. They’re not going to stop until she dies.
“It’s incredibly triggering to potentially lose another woman in my life. Like, the list is growing.”
