FORMER actress Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in Windsor on May 19, 2018, and the pair welcomed their baby boy into the world a year later. Here is how the popular prince met the Suits star and eventually started a family together. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle met on a blind date in July 2016.
The BBC reports that after just two dates, the "already-smitten royal" decided to whisk the American actress off to Botswana - a country which has placed a central role in their fairytale romance. The pair enjoyed five nights camping under the African stars, and Prince Harry later told the broadcaster he believed the "stars were aligned" when he met her. During an interview with the BBC, prior to their wedding, they declined to name of a mutual friend who introduced them.
But, Meghan said she "didn't know much" about Prince Harry before they started dating. It's not clear how or when precisely Harry and Meghan first met but it's thought the couple may have been introduced by Soho House director Markus Anderson at the Invictus Games. Prior to their wedding, Piers Morgan told his followers that after he took Meghan to his local pub in 2016, the TV star went off for her first date with Prince Harry.
The Good Morning Britain presenter wasn't invited to the couple's nuptials, however. After their second date Prince Harry invited Meghan to join him on his trip to Botswana. Prince Harry said in his engagement interview: "We camped out with each other under the stars.
"She came and joined.
