Princess Sofia of Sweden discusses whether she would consider a 'Megxit' in new documentary

Princess Sofia of Sweden has spoken out about her life and what she thinks about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to end their time as senior royals.

In the new documentary Princess Sofia: Project Playground, which aired on September 3 on Sweden's TV4, she was asked if she had ever thought about taking part in her own version of "Megxit," which happened when Meghan and Harry stepped down as senior royals.

Sofia, who famously starred in a reality show and was a glamour model before marrying Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, responded, "No. Not really. I think I have found such a fantastic balance, and I really see it as a positive that I have made it through these stormy years."

She went on to say, "It is such a huge advantage, in that we have the opportunity to stand a little in both worlds.”

The documentary was filmed in Cape Town in January. She also opened up about what finding worldwide fame has been like.

She said, "Since I became a princess, I have been through many identity crises. Here in South Africa I have a type of identity, and when I come home, I have something else. Here I am allowed to be who I want to be.”

Sofia and her husband (who looks quite similar to 50 Shades of Grey actor Jamie Dornan) are parents to Prince Alexander, 4 and Prince Gabriel, 3, and have been married for five years.
