But, despite navigating two completely different worlds, they somehow collided.
In many ways, it allowed him to simply connect with others.
I was like, ‘Who is that?'"
completely taken aback by how beautiful she was, even with doggy ears!
If she was expecting clues into his royal life, however, Meghan may have been disappointed.
Beautiful photos," she wrote to him.
Of course, the rest is history.
In fact, she spoke about her determination to only follow her rules during the couple’s Netflix documentary.
Whether you love them or hate them, that fact in and of itself is a little chilling.
As it turns out, that’s not the only Diana-connected date that has popped up for the couple.
When they announced Meghan’s pregnancy with Lilibet, they chose to do so on Valentine’s Day 2021.
“I was shocked.
We had no idea.
“So that’s the thing.
When people say, ‘Did you Google him?’
But [the feed] is your homework,” she said in the couple’s Netflix documentary.
Like any good love story, they decided to go on their first date.
“You were late!”
Meghan said of their first date.
“And I couldn’t understand why he would be late.
Harry, meanwhile, was stuck in traffic and was panicking on his way to meet Meghan.
“She was wearing a black sweater, jeans, heels.
I knew nothing about clothes, but I knew she was chic.
“Here she was, in the flesh, no frills, no filter… and even more beautiful.
Heart-attack beautiful,” he wrote.
If they don’t talk about you like that, ladies, don’t date them!
Honestly, we love her even more for this unapologetic move.
This time, she had an important question.
Do you wanna grab dinner tomorrow night?’
And I’m sure he thought it was so forward and American.
I’m sure he told me it was so forward and American,” she said.
“We went and had dinner the next night at the same place.”
“I hate being late,” Meghan explained.
I ain’t moving.
I wanna see you again.'”
After Meghan arrived, the night went off without a hitch.
“There was one photo.
I think we’re going to give it a go,'” Meghan said.
“At the beginning, our relationship was this guarded treasure.
It was long-distance from the beginning.
Everything was just texts or FaceTimes and we’d talk for hours.
It was just relaxed and easy,” Meghan explained.
“We just got to know each other, truly, like any other couple.
For his part, Harry knew Meghan was special.
“I was like, ‘Now I’m really falling in love with this girl.’
For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, they did drinks, dinner, then Botswana.
“I’m getting on the plane, and I’m going to the middle of the bush.
What am I doing?”
Meghan said of the wild invitation Harry extended to her for their third date.
“We were very awkward at first.
Like, ‘Oh God.
Do we …?’
And I just remember he handed me a chicken sandwich.”
To say that those first dates were a whirlwind is certainly an understatement.
