Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have emerged as one of the strongest couples in the past years. Ever since their wedding in 2018, the couple has been smashed, thrown out, and called out more often than not. However, their bond only gets stronger with each passing day. Amidst all of it, it is time we go back to the past and recall a few private and beautiful moments that they had with each other at peace.

Before the Royal Family fiasco and everything that has been going on, Prince Harry had a major crush on Meghan Markle for two whole years! Everything that went on during those initial years of dating and knowing each other has been very well etched in our memories. Starting from the documentary to all the countless rumors, we had it all. Here is what Royal experts had to say about it back in 2017. 

Prince Harry had a major crush on Meghan Markle before they met

Eminent Royal expert, Kate Nicholl, once confirmed the fact that Prince Harry had a major crush on the former American Actress, Markle. Apparently, Markle’s character in Suits, Rachel Zane, was Harry’s ideal girl, something he admitted to one of his friends, who later shared the information with Nicholl. As per Nicholl’s statement, the Prince, 33, had arranged a meeting with Markle, 36 at Wimbledon, when the latter was there to meet her friend Serena Williams.

The entire gang had teamed up with their mutual friends, providing them with a free space to talk. They had a private conversation and got to know more about each other. This reportedly took place in one of the rooms of the Soho House. The former actress apparently was not fazed by the fact that Harry was from the royal family, and he later described her as a “cracking girl” to his friends.

In 2017, Nicholl had a good impression of Markle and her entanglement with Prince Harry. However, that was before the two tied the knot in 2018 and later stepped away from royal duties in 2021. Since then, the Duke and his Duchess have been the target of much criticism, especially the latter, with her receiving scathing remarks even at the Late Queen’s funeral.

Currently, the couple resides in their Montecito estate, raising their two kids. After their withdrawal from the Royal Palace in the UK, the couple has been doing fine enough for themselves and their family. Most importantly, without any obligations to anyone.
