Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began their love story in 2016 when they met for the first time in London. After being introduced by friends, Prince Harry and Meghan interacted on Instagram before going on their first date.
In an interview just after their engagement, Harry shared the story of their first few dates. Harry said: “I was scrolling through my feed and someone who was a friend had this video of the two of them, it was like a Snapchat, and it’s…with doggy ears and…that was the first thing, it was like who is that?”

The prince revealed: “We got each other’s numbers, and we were just constantly in touch, and I went, ‘Let’s meet.’” They met at 76 Dean Street in London.
He added that they met once and twice back-to-back, for dates in London.
Meghan recalls that her now-husband was half an hour late for their first date, which could have been an embarrassing mistake, but luckily, she said he was “so sweet” and “genuinely so embarrassed” about the error.
“He was just so fun,” Meghan added. “Just so refreshingly fun. And that was the thing, we were like childlike together.”

Prince Harry said that around three or four weeks later, he “managed to persuade her” to join him in Botswana. He said the pair camped out together under the stars.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and married in 2018, but two years later, the two departed their royal roles and stepped away from their duties.
After heading to the US, they lived in Montecito, California, where they live with their two children. The Sussexes have recently made a return to the UK for what is being called an “extended” period of time.
The prince claimed years later that his brother, Prince William, had initially expressed “concerns” over how quickly the romance was moving.
In early 2023, Harry’s tell-all memoir Spare was published. In the book, Harry discussed his royal upbringing and relationship with his family.
