Don’t identify.” And then in a cover story for Haute Living, he says of Meghan Markle: “She knew what she was getting into, and there’s an ambition there clearly as well — the childhood dreams of marrying Prince Charming and all that shit we see as fantasy that could be our lives in our dreams. I’m a Cinderella person, you know.”
