1. Bill Gross:

   It has been a nursery rhyme experience for sure, but more than likely without a fairy tale ending.

2. Chris McKenna:

   I think Americans would love to have a royal family, they're all about celebrity -- the Kennedys and Camelot, the fairy tale. But it doesn't always play out like that, does it? There's deaths, divorces, scandal. I'd say it was more like 'The Game of Thrones.'.

3. Machine Gun Kelly:

   It should be light, but also we go to hell with each other, it’s ecstasy and agony for sure… I don’t want people to think anything’s perfect with us. I didn’t say it was the darkest fairy tale for no reason.

4. Spun Gold:

   I think everyone wants it to work because Prince Harry is adored around the world, he’s the little boy who lost his mother at 12. He was a slightly off the rails teenager who became a war hero fighting on the frontlines… We want the fairy tale, which has had some tragic lows across the last 30-40 years.

(Reuters) But those in the documentary warned that this world is not without its pitfalls, Bullen said. You marry into a world that’s diamonds and furs and castles and servants and literally knights in shining armor. But it all comes with a price. Are you ready to pay that price?

5. Tamrat Giorgis:

   The world out there wanted to believe the fairy tale. They became obsessed with their own narrative, but that doesn't chime with what is happening on the ground. It is much more complex and scary.
