How Harry met Meghan

He first spotted Meghan on a friend’s Instagram feed. “I was like: ‘Who is that?’. The friend then sent Meghan an email saying, “Prince Haz is dying to meet you”. “Who is Prince Haz????” Meghan replied. They only had two dates – one over drinks, one over dinner – before he invited her to accompany him to Botswana. “I was astonished she said yes …,” Harry said. “This woman I have only met twice, she is coming to Botswana and living in a tent for five days. Wow.” Meghan said: “I am getting on a plane and I am going to the middle of the bush. What am I doing? What if we don’t like each other and I’m stuck in the middle of the bush in a tent?” At their engagement party, guests wore animal onesies, with Harry and Meghan dressed as penguins – “because they mate for life”, a friend told the documentary.
