Prince Harry revealed details of his new life in America and how he now feels 'free' since quitting as a senior member of the royal family.
The Duke of Sussex spoke about his reasoning behind leaving the UK to live with Meghan and Archie in California.
Speaking on the Armchair Expert podcast, Harry, 36, also revealed details of his 'old life' and how he and Meghan would secretly meet for dates in London.
He spoke about going out in disguise, along with struggling to cope with the pressures of being a royal while juggling his mental health.
The revelations are likely to do little in healing the rift between Harry and brother William - whose relationship remains 'frosty'.
While the brothers briefly reunited for the funeral of their grandfather, Prince Philip - royal commentators say the pair are still "not talking".
Following Harry's chat with the podcast hosts yesterday, we take a look at the key revelations to come from his open and honest interview around leaving the UK
Feeling 'free' in California
Prince Harry feels free in California and is able to take Archie out on back of his bike, he has said on a podcast.
The Duke spoke about how his life changed since quitting as a senior member of the royal family and moving to America with Meghan and now two-year-old Archie.
Harry said in London he became used to making constant attempts to stay under the radar while out and about - often wearing baseball caps and walking with his head lowered.
In a bid to keep themselves out of the spotlight, Harry revealed he and Meghan even met in disguise at a supermarket for one of their dates.
He said they pretended not to know each other to try and stay 'incognito', adding: "I had a baseball cap on, looking down at the floor, trying to stay incognito. It's amazing how much chewing gum you see, it's a mess!"
Princess Diana influenced move to America
Prince Harry said he quit the royal family for the US because of what it did to his mum Princess Diana.
The Duke of Sussex discussed his own struggles growing up in the spotlight and said in his early 20s he would "grin and bear it" - but knew he didn't want the role for himself.
He said he would think: "I don't want to be here, I don't want to be doing this, look what it did to my mum. How am I ever going to settle down and have a wife and family when I know it's going to happen again.
"I've seen behind the curtain."
Harry also recalled how after seeking therapy for his mental health struggles, he felt a "bubble was burst" and his head was "out of the sand".
Meghan supermarket date
Prince Harry has revealed he met Meghan Markle in a supermarket on one of their early dates to avoid the paparazzi.
The Duke of Sussex said he and Meghan did their best not to draw attention to themselves during their first London date.
He said they pretended not to know each other to try and stay 'incognito'.
he said: “I texted her saying 'is this the right one,' and she said 'no you want parchment paper,' and I'm like where's the parchment paper?!"
“I had a baseball cap on, looking down at the floor, trying to stay incognito. It's amazing how much chewing gum you see, it's a mess!
“Living here now I can actually lift my head and actually I feel different, my shoulders have dropped, so have hers, you can walk around feeling a little bit more free."
Needing therapy
Harry spoke of the three times in his life where he felt truly "helpless" as he opened up about how he has sought therapy for anger management.
The Duke said he used to repress the anger connected to the constraints of being part of The Firm and the inevitable media glare that came with it.
It was only thanks to a conversation with his wife Meghan that he realised he needed help.
Recollecting that moment, he said: "It was a conversation that I had with my now wife, and she saw, she saw it straight away.
"She could tell that I was hurting and that some of the stuff that was out of control was making me really angry and it would make my blood boil."
Harry, who now lives in Santa Barbara with Meghan, told the Armchair Expert podcast: "Helplessness, that is my biggest Achilles heel.
"There were three major times that I felt completely helpless [as a royal], one when I was a kid in the back of a car with my mum being chased by paparazzi, two was in Afghanistan in an apache helicopter and then the third one was with my wife [having the conversation about therapy]."
'Genetic pain' and and how Prince Charles 'passed on suffering'
Prince Harry said he wants to "break the cycle" of the "pain and suffering" of his upbringing with his own children.
In an apparent criticism of his own father and even the Queen indirectly, Harry said he had endured "some form of pain or suffering" because of his own dad's experiences growing up.
Speaking on the podcast Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, he said: "There is no blame. I don't think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody, but certainly when it comes to parenting, if I've experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, I'm going to make sure I break that cycle so that I don't pass it on, basically.
"It's a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway so we as parents should be doing the most we can to try and say 'you know what, that happened to me, I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen to you'."
Royal life like the Truman show
Not holding back, Harry compared life as a royal to being on The Truman Show - the hit Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey whose character discovers his life is a TV drama.
Grilled over what it's like being a "tiny group" of royals "watched by millions", the Duke of Sussex said: "Yep, it's a mix between The Truman Show and living in a zoo."
