Why Meghan Markle Has The Royals On Edge

Secrecy Around How She Met Harry

Given the secrecy surrounding the first few months of their relationship, it was always a mystery to how Britain's hottest Bachelor and Prince and the American actress divorcee ended up together in a fairytale romance worthy of the movies.

The pair finally revealed that they met like so many other couples — through a friend. The pair were introduced by a mutual friend (who they declined to name) and met once, then had two back-to-back dates in London in the beginning of July 2016, and confirmed the friend was most definitely introducing them in hopes of sparking a romance.

The pair's first meeting was just having a drink, and "very quickly" into the blind date, they already began planning when they could see each other next and knew they wanted to pursue not only more dates but a relationship.

Harry also sweetly added that when he first saw her, things changed immediately. "I was beautifully surprised when I walked into that room and saw her, and there she was sitting there and I was like, 'Okay, well I am really going to have to up my game here. I have to sit down and really make sure I've got good chat.'"

The rest is history...
