Couples in the royal family have standards to uphold andrules to follow.
Most couples adhere to these rules Prince William and Princess Catherine are a great example.
They make their appearances, dress the part, and act how they’re supposed to.
So, let’s get into all the moments that made Harry and Meghan seem like a normal couple.
“I was like ‘Who is that?”
he said in “Episode 1” of their Netlifx doc"Harry & Meghan."
From there, the mutual friend emailed Meghan, letting her know a friend was interested.
Meghan did a little Instagram stalking on Harry’s private Instagram and was impressed with what she saw.
From there, they began texting.
The next thing you know, the two went on their first date, and Harry showed up late.
“I was panicking.
I was freaking out.
I was, like, sweating.”
But things went well on the date.
“He was just so fun, just so refreshingly fun,” Meghan recalled.
Things went well enough that Meghan asked him if he wanted to grab dinner the following night.
After that second date, the two knew they wanted to give things a shot.
They even snapped a cute photo to capture the moment.
They both texted their friends, gushing over the two dates and how much they liked each other.
The rest is history.
What a modern-day fairytale a love story initiated on Instagram.
At the beginning of their relationship, Harry and Meghan made things work long-distance.
“Everything was just texts and Facetimes.
She said despite the distance, everything felt relaxed and easy.
They just focused on getting to know one another.
After about a month of not seeing each other, Meghan joined Harry on a trip to Botswana.
The two had a blast on the trip, bringing them much closer.
For them, this was a much better way to maintain their long-distance relationship.
She stayed with him on the Kensington Palace grounds.
Of course, there are plenty of photos out there.
After all, the couple clearly values spending quality time together and going on dates.
However, during the early stages of the relationship, Meghan and Harry went on private dates together.
The two were even put on the kiss cam spotlight during the game.
Looks like a successful date night to us.
Many speculate on whether or not sharing a kiss or holding hands is a violation of royal protocol.
In that regard, the announcement of their engagement was anything but ordinary.
However, the actual proposal was quite normal.
Still sweet, of course, but very relatable to everyday couples.
“She was like, ‘You don’t drink champagne.
What’s the occasion?’
I was like, ‘I don’t know.
Just had it laying around here, whatever.'”
Meghan’s dog, Guy, was also there for the happy moment.
The original tweets also stated fashion photographer Alexi Lubomirski took the photos at Frogmore House in Windsor Home Park.
Lubomirski also shared a photo on hisInstagram.
The photos ranged from up close shots in color to black and white options.
One shot shows off Meghan’s engagement ring, which contains three stones.
The other two stones came from his mother’s jewelry collection.
If that isn’t the sweetest engagement ring, we don’t know what is.
Typically, the palace releases a formal statement announcing a royal pregnancy, and that’s about it.
Take Princess Eugenie, for example.
Sheannounced both her pregnancieson her Instagram accounts, sharing adorable photos.
Their second pregnancy announcement with Princess Lilibet, however, really stood out.
The announcement came almost one year after they stepped down as senior members of the royal family.
Compared to other pregnancy announcements, it was very personal, making it extremely relatable to ordinary couples everywhere.
Meghan told Ellen, “[Archie] loves being a big brother.”
It seems Harry has the same intentions for both Archie and Lilibet.
I’m going to ensure I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on.”
It’s clear he wants to be the best father he can be.
In December 2019, Harry and Meghan decided to share their own Christmas card.
Very Merry Christmas, everyone!"
This is the first photo released to the public of Lilibet, according toPeople.
The couple also sent out a Christmas card in 2022.
Royal author Omid Scobie shared the Christmas card with the public onTwitter.
It’s a nice way to show appreciation for one another.
It seems that Meghan and Harry take the practice quite seriously.
However, a source toldPeople, “They love to do their own take on traditional wedding gifts.”
How sweet is that?
