The Fourth of July was the catalyst for the romance between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
In Spare, his ground-breaking memoir that was published in January, Prince Harry, 38, reflected on his life to date. The narrative of how he met Meghan, 41, after stumbling upon her picture while surfing on Instagram in the summer of 2016, was the first chapter of Part 3 of the book. Harry posted that he’d “never seen anyone so beautiful” when Violet’s face appeared on his account after she and Meghan’s common acquaintance created a goofy Snapchat video.
Harry and Meghan met while the Suits star was in London at Soho House after the prince requested Violet to introduce them. They got together the following night, July 4, and Harry brought something sweet to make up for being late for their first date because the evening had gone so well!
She entered the room while donning an attractive blue sundress with white pinstripes. She was radiant. I remarked, standing up, “I bring gifts.” a box in pink. I kept holding it out. She moved it. The Duke of Sussex asked in response to the surprise, “What’s this? They giggled as he warned her not to rock the box.
She unlocked the box. Cupcakes. specifically red, white, and blue cupcakes. in observance of the Fourth of July. I made a comment about how Americans and Brits commemorate Independence Day very differently, but, oh, well,” Harry said, adding that Meghan replied the goodies “looked fantastic.”
Harry and Meghan kissed when their server came and disappeared.
“Once more, the dialogue flowed and cracked. Burgers arrived and left unfinished. I was overcome by a strong sense of the Act I Overture, Prelude, and Kettle Drums. There is also a sense of closure. He stated of falling for her, “A phase of my life, the first half? was coming to an end.
As the evening drew to a close, we had a really candid conversation. No way around it existed. What are we going to do? she asked, placing a palm on her cheek. Harry asked her opinion on how a long-distance relationship would work.
Later that summer, he invited her to spend a week in Botswana where their courting would continue, insisting that they give it “a proper go.” In the Netflix series Harry & Meghan, which debuted in December, viewers got a glimpse inside their vacation to Botswana.
Harry added of taking his then-girlfriend to the nation that has a special place in his heart, “For me, it was critical to share it with Meg.”
“We had to get to know each other before the rest of the world, before the media sort of, you know, joined it,” he said.
