Meghan Markle and Prince Harry: the beginning of it all
Before the lavish, very romantic, royal wedding in Windsor (which will perhaps remain the last worthy of this title), before the divorce from the royal family, before Archie, before Los Angeles and the lawsuits against the tabloids, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle went out on their first date. Yeah, but how did they meet? And who made them known? Although on the "who" most tabloids point to Ralph Lauren's director of public relations, Violet von Westenholz, while others insist on designer Misha Nonoo, this someone knew both the prince and the actress and had decided they would like each other.
And so, one evening in early July 2016, Meghan accepted a blind date probably at London's Dean Street Townhouse hotel. Harry was immediately impressed. "I was wonderfully surprised when I walked into that room and saw it," he admitted. As for Meghan, she had only one concern: that he was kind. It turned out that she was. A second appointment then followed. And then, Harry's idea, a short vacation, away from eyes that were not supposed to see: in distant Botswana. “We camped under the stars. It was absolutely fantastic,” Harry said of the trip. They had been dating for just three weeks at the time.
For four months, their relationship remained a secret. Among the places of their love, Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire and the garden of Kensington Palace. The prince even visited Meghan in Toronto, where she was busy on the set of the TV series Suits. Since then they have tried not to be separated for more than two weeks. The actress spent four days in the UK, then flew to Toronto. Then, slowly, the couple began to sow revealing clues on Instagram: in July Meghan published a bouquet of peonies with the hashtag #London. In October, she shared a photo of Prince Harry's same blue beaded bracelet. She didn't know that the British tabloid Express was about to get the scoop on their relationship, kicking off a series of allegations, fake news and articles (including racist stories) about Meghan and her family.
The rest is history: the fairy tale of the princess from the cinema, the prince in love, the royal baby, and then the crisis, the break with the royal family, the quarrel with William and Kate: here you can see 80 images that summarize the salient stages of their love. What will happen in the next chapter?
