Prince Harry was afraid he would ‘look weird’ if he ‘stood outside and juggled’ in Meghan’s video

Prince Harry was afraid to look “weird” juggling the background of Meghan Markle’s 40th birthday video, Melissa McCarthy has revealed.

The 50-year-old actress, who starred with the Duchess of Sussex in her milestone birthday post last week, has spoken to Access Hollywood about her appearance in the clip to kick off Meghan’s “40×40” campaign.

The video ends with “bloopers” from the recording session – including a photo of Prince Harry juggling in the garden, which can be seen through the window. The Duke of Sussex, 36, who wears sunglasses and a polo shirt, throws three balls into the air before dropping them to the ground.

He tries again, this time throwing just two bullets, and gives his wife a mischievous smile before evading the shot.

Melissa is left in stitches, while a seemingly surprised Meghan says, “What is this?” before bursting into another giggle.

Speaking to promote her new Hulu show, 9 Perfect Strangers, the bridesmaid star said, “She is [Meghan Markle] to do such an amazing thing to celebrate his 40th birthday.

“I love that she says, ‘Oh, what can I do to do some good and help some people? “Well, that’s awfully sweet.

“Then comes Harry and he says, ‘I can juggle’ …

“Then he said to me, ‘Is it going to be weird if I stay outside and juggle?’ “

“I was like, ‘Weird in a way that will make me look 5 million times! “

Meghan called on 40 activists, athletes, artists and world leaders to participate by contributing 40 minutes of mentoring to women re-entering the workforce, saying millions of women have been ‘the brunt’ of the Covid-19 pandemic and need help returning or returning to work.

Among those who have dedicated 40 minutes of their time mentoring a woman in their community are singer Adele, poet Amanda Gorman, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and fashion designer Stella McCartney.

The smooth flick was made in the same crisp Montecito study where Harry filmed his recent Apple TV series on mental health with Oprah, and Meghan is sitting at a large oak desk with a number of photos of her husband and her two children, a stack of strategically placed copies of Meghan The Bench’s Children’s Book and a distinctively British cup of tea and cookies. Her beagle Bogart sits behind her on a luxurious gray dog ​​cushion.

Congratulating the couple on finding their independence from the royal family, Melissa continued, “They were so sweet and funny. I just find them very inspiring.

“They are carving out their own lives. They are carving out a life for their children.

“The way she wants to celebrate her 40th birthday is to help and empower other women.

“How don’t you worry? They don’t take themselves seriously.

“She said let’s do it in a fun way and see if we can recruit more people to help more women get back into the workforce… I was delighted to be a part of it.”
