There’s no denying that Lin-Manuel Miranda has created one of the most iconic stage plays in modern history with Hamilton. But even the mastermind behind this revolutionary musical admitted to feeling a little uneasy when he learned that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry would be in the audience for a charity performance. In a recent interview, the 39-year-old composer shared his candid thoughts about the experience, revealing just how much the royal couple's presence impacted him.
Back in August 2018, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex enjoyed a memorable date night at London’s West End, where they attended a special charity performance of Hamilton. Now, Lin-Manuel is opening up about what it felt like to have such high-profile guests in attendance. Let’s dive into the story and hear what he had to say.
Lin-Manuel’s Reaction to Hosting the Royal Couple
Speaking at the Maestro Cares Foundation’s Changing Lives, Building Dreams Gala in New York City on March 14, Lin-Manuel opened up about the unforgettable evening. “I’ve had so many incredible experiences with Hamilton, but this one was truly special,” he told Us Weekly. “Sitting next to the sixth great-grandson of King George III, who we kind of roast on stage, was definitely nerve-wracking. But here’s the thing—Prince Harry had already seen the show before, so I knew they’d come in with an open mind.”

While discussing his interactions with Meghan and Harry, Lin-Manuel shared some interesting insights into their personalities. “They were genuinely nice and surprisingly normal—well, as normal as you can be when you're part of the royal family,” he revealed. “We ended up talking about how stressful it can be to plan a wedding. Now, their experience was obviously on a whole other level, but I think we could all agree that planning a wedding is no walk in the park!”
