We Still Don’t Know Who Set Up Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on a Blind Date
- Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend whose identity remains concealed.
- The couple got married in 2018 and stepped away from their Royal duties in 2020.
- Rumors of divorce and separation have been making the rounds since the couple has not been spotted together recently.
The Royal family of Britain was never the same once Prince Harry decided to marry actress Meghan Markle. Much like his mother, he fought with every fiber of his being to be with the love of his life no matter what his grandparents and other members of the family said. Harry and Meghan’s marriage began with a whirlwind of publicity with rumors and speculative comments adding to the fire.
Eventually, the Sussexes chose to distance themselves from the royal family and start their family elsewhere. They left their royal residences and moved away to live a life of joy and peace. For a second, let’s go back to where it all started and take a look at how far Harry and Meghan have come in their lives.
How did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle meet?
Who doesn’t love a sweet love story? Especially one that involves a budding actress and a royal Prince with an undeniable chemistry. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle met on a blind date which was set up by a mutual friend whose identity remains concealed. Fans have tried their best to decode this mystery and uncover the name of the person responsible for Harry and Meghan’s beautiful romance.
The Sunday Times produced a royal biography called Finding Freedom that detailed how one of the world’s most popular couples came to find each other and fall in love. Harry and Meghan’s first (blind) date was at the Soho House’s Dean Street Townhouse. They remained engrossed in conversation for over three hours and enjoyed each other’s company.
So what began as a regular date with flirty comments and palpable chemistry quickly turned into something serious as both Harry and Meghan connected with each other. It would have been great to know which friend of theirs fixed them up to meet. However, a good story always works best with some mystery so perhaps it might remain that way.
Why did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle exit the royal family?
Leaving your family behind to be with the love of your life is not an easy decision. But Harry made it seem incredibly easy because he knew what kind of life he wanted. Moreover, when his wife started facing similar situations as his mother before she died, Harry knew he had to take action and not feel as helpless as he did earlier.
From aggressive media intrusion to hints of racism and lack of support from the royal family, Harry and Meghan decided it was better to leave the UK and move to California where their daughter Lilibet was born in 2021. The couple wanted to step back from their royal duties and be financially independent.
When the media published ridiculous stories about Meghan to disrepute her image and even level some nasty allegations, the royal family did not come forward to help them disregard the stories and keep the truth forward. This amounted to severe frustration on Harry and Meghan’s part which left them with no choice but to leave.
Are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle getting divorced?
It seems like the tabloids were hungry for news on the former Prince and his wife that they started feeding news to the public which had no basis in reality. Rumors of Harry and Meghan’s divorce have been going around for the longest time. Ever since they tied the knot in 2018, people have observed them and their relationship with the closest attention.
Harry and Meghan are no strangers to rumors and false stories. But now, it has become apparent that they need to address those rumors and put the record straight. The divorce speculations stem from the fact that the couple has been spotted attending events on their own for quite some time now. In contrast to their former forever-in-love demeanor and always being hand in hand, seeing them without each other has become jarring for the media. Hence, the divorce rumors sparked.
Harry talked about the same when he was interviewed by Aaron Sorkin recently in New York where he said,
Apparently we’ve bought or moved house maybe 10, 12 times. We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it’s just like, what? It’s hard to keep up with but that’s why you just sort of ignore it. The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls. Their hopes are just built and built, and it’s like, ‘Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,’ and then it doesn’t happen. So I feel sorry for them. Genuinely, I do.
Though the separate public appearances do spark conversations, the couple has not announced separation or any such move to date. They just seem to protect their privacy and have quality time with their young children, shielding them from the prying eyes of the media.
