How did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle meet?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began dating in July 2016, according to news agency Reuters.
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 in July 2016.

But, Meghan said she “didn’t know much” about Prince Harry before they started dating.
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.
In late October 2016, it was reported that glamorous actress Meghan, who played Rachel Zane in legal drama Suits, was secretly dating Prince Harry. A close pal of the royal confirmed they had been dating for several months, in an interview with People.
On December 14, 2016, The Sun published exclusive first pictures of Harry and Meghan – who is three years his senior – as they were spotted hand-in-hand, while out on a date in London. At the time, pals said actress Meghan had “virtually moved in” to Harry’s cottage at Kensington Palace with the couple having been “inseparable” for weeks.
On November 27, 2017, it was announced that the couple were engaged to be married in spring 2018. After a photocall at Kensington Palace, they gave their first joint interview to the BBC.
On May 19, 2018, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wed in Windsor in front of their family, friends and the world.
On October 15 2019, Harry and Meghan announce they are expecting their first child in Spring 2019.
On May 6, 2019, at 5.27am, Meghan Markle gave birth to a healthy baby boy, weighing 7lbs 3oz. Unlike Prince William and Kate Middleton, Harry and Meghan opted for their baby’s arrival to take place in Windsor.
On March 31, 2020, Meghan and Harry stepped down as senior royals and it was confirmed they were setting up a permanent home in the US.

When did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle get married?
Shortly after their engagement was announced in 2017, it was revealed the highly-anticipated wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would take place on May 19, 2018.
The wedding was held at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, which is where Harry was christened when he was three months old.
The newlyweds received rapturous applause as they emerged from Windsor’s St George’s Chapel following a ground-breaking multi-cultural ceremony complete with a gospel choir and eccentric American bishop.

The gender of the baby remained unknown until a statement was given on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex official Instagram.
Meghan and Harry’s baby weighed 7lbs 3oz and was born at 5.26am.
Shortly after the arrival of the baby, Harry gave a candid interview, revealing his excitement to be a dad.
He said: “We have a very healthy boy. Mother and baby are doing incredibly well. It has been the most amazing experience I could have ever possibly imagined.
“How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension. I’m absolutely thrilled and so grateful for all the love and support out there. It has been amazing.”
When is Meghan and Harry’s baby girl due?
The duke and duchess told TV host Oprah Winfrey during their bombshell interview that they are expecting a baby girl.
When asked when their baby girl is due, Meghan confirmed “summertime”, which means she could arrive after Archie’s second birthday in May.
“I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell — but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time.

“This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.
“We were very quietly dating for about six months before it became news and I was working during that whole time.
“And the only thing that changed was people’s perception.”
