The Netflix docuseries based on the life of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed plenty of secrets from their personal life and the things that happened behind closed doors. The royal couple gave people a great deal of insight into their relationship before marriage and after getting hitched. Following this came out the memoir by the Duke of Sussex titled Spare, which narrates the story of his life in and parting from the Royal Family. In the same book, the author admitted how he skipped this one important dating rule that royals always follow for his then-girlfriend.

Prince Harry overlooked one absolute dating rule they needed to obey during their courtship. He explained that the royal family members are required to date a person for three years straight before taking any significant decision. “Meg seemed the shining exception to this rule. All rules. I knew her straightaway, and she knew me. The true me” wrote the 38-year-old in his book.

Moreover, the writer stated that he realized the value of Meghan in his life instantly after they both went to Africa together. Not just that, he also admitted that he knew already that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with the former actress. So this rule wasn’t something that could stop him from being around the love of his life.

According to him, these thoughts might seem irrational to many people, but only he knew at that time what his wife made him feel. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex started dating in 2016 and tied the knot only after one year of dating.

Prince Harry introduced Meghan Markle to the royals before marriage

According to US Weekly, Meghan Markle was introduced to many royals before marriage. Surprisingly, Prince Harry never brought any of his girlfriends before to meet them. He timed the actress’s meeting with the late Queen, as well. In 2017, the Suits alum first met her sister-in-law Duchess Kate and niece Princess Charlotte, at Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace.

The memoir also depicted the instance when she met Prince William for the first time. Being a commoner, she did not have much knowledge about royal courtesy at that time, and she hugged him. The Duke of Cambridge freaked out in the first meeting and even predicted the upcoming hardships of dating an actress. And despite all these hurdles, love found its way to them and today they are living a happy married life with their kids.
