Brandi Carlile called Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as “normal, decent” people after meeting them at a party. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended Portia De Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres’ surprise vow renewal ceremony, which the singer-songwriter also attended.
De Rossi planned the impromptu vow renewal during her 50th birthday celebration.
The occasion was officiated by Kris Jenner and attended by Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Harry and Meghan.
Carlile made an impromptu performance at the ceremony, just days before her Grammy win for ‘Broken Horses’.
But she also shared a moment with the Sussex royals, despite the furore around Harry’s memoir ‘Spare’.
“We talked to them for a long time like British accents, talked about the angiograms,” Carlile told ET.
“They just really felt like normal, decent, good humored people. We just had a great chat.
“I’m not going to pretend that I haven’t seen the hub bub, but I haven’t paid very close attention to it.”
De Rossi also asked Carlile to perform her song ‘The First Time I Saw Your Face’ at the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are reportedly being offered incentives by King Charles III to attend his coronation.
The Mirror reported that the Sussexes have been offered high-profile seating at the event and the promise to keep their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles.
The offer of a “high-profile seating position” and an assurance that the titles can be kept is an “inducement” for the couple to attend, The Mail also reported.
The outlet quoted a source who said: “Harry’s camp made clear that the idea that he would just attend the Coronation and behave himself but then be stripped of his titles was a total non-starter.”
