Prince Harry and Megan Markle tell their side of the story from the start. The first episode of her Netflix documentaries, Harry & Megandescribes the very early days of their relationship in 2016, including how their paths crossed in the first place.

“Meghan and I met through Instagram, I was scrolling through my feed and someone who was a friend had this video of them both, like a Snapchat and it’s online…” Prince Harry began before admitting that he had seen a Snapchat from Meghan with the doggy ears filter.

He added: “That was the first thing. I was like, ‘Who is that?'” This friend emailed Meghan and said, “A friend of mine was asking about you.” Meghan learned that Prince Harry was asking about her and asked to share his private Instagram to see feed.

“I went through it and it was just like beautiful photography and all this environmental shots and that time he was spending in Africa…” Meghan noted. Afterwards, Prince Harry said they got each other’s numbers. “We were just constantly in touch and I was like, ‘Let’s meet.'”

They decided to have their first date at 76 Dean Street in London. “Harry was late,” Meghan quipped. Prince Harry admitted: “I was panicking. i freaked out I was sweating so much.”

Meghan couldn’t help but gush about her first impression of Prince Harry during that date. “He was just so…funny. Just so refreshingly funny. And that was the thing, we were like a kid together,” Meghan said.

Meghan left after an hour because she had other plans. She phoned Harry that evening and asked to have dinner the next night as she would be leaving soon. They ate dinner at the same time. This time Meghan was late, Harry pointed out, and Meghan felt bad about it.

“You can come as late as you like, I’m not moving. I want to see you again,” said Prince Harry. They took a precious selfie that evening to capture the moment. “It just hit me then. I was like, ‘Okay, this girl, this woman is amazing is all I was looking for. And she feels comfortable and relaxed in my company,’” Harry gushed.

Prince Harry confessed that ahead of Meghan, he wasn’t sure he would ever find anyone who would be “willing and able to handle all the baggage that comes with me,” given the “pain and suffering of.” know women who marry into this institution”. He continued, “So when I met M, I was scared that she would be pushed out by the media. The same media that drove so many other people away from me.”

The Duke of Sussex knew at that moment “that this could only possibly work if things remain quiet for as long as possible”. Their relationship was “long-distance from the start,” and they texted and FaceTimed each other for hours.

The epic romance between Prince Harry and Meghan only grew stronger. Harry soon knew that he had met the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. “Because my people in the family, especially the men, may have a temptation or an urge to marry someone who fits the mold as opposed to someone you might be destined for.”

They announced their engagement in November 2017 and married in May 2018. Harry and Meghan welcomed their first child. Archiein May 2019. The couple shocked the world when they announced they were stepping down as senior royals in 2020. They have since moved to California and now have a daughter. Lilibet.
