Towards the conclusion of the discussion, Sorkin brought up constant press attention on Prince Harry’s and Meghan’s relationship came up, especially in regard to their separate career activities.

Alluding to Meghan’s planned solo appearance at the Paley Honors gala in Beverly Hills on the same day, “I Google Newsed you, and there were people fascinated by everything you’re doing, all the time,” Sorkin remarked.
