There’s absolutely no doubt that Prince Harry is smitten with wife Meghan Markle (as any husband should be). As he detailed in Spare—his tell-all released in January of this year—there was a moment when Harry realized Meghan was “really magic,” and it happened because (wait for it) she could communicate with seals.
Hear him out: The couple were on holiday on the north coast of Scotland, and Harry’s father King Charles shared with the pair the legend of the selkies—a mythological creature that can shapeshift between seal and human form. One night at dinner, Charles explained that one could sing to the seals to see if they would respond—and Harry and Meghan decided to try it out for themselves the next day. The two saw some seals on the beach and tried to sing to them; Harry’s attempt failed, “but Meghan had more luck,” The Daily Express reports.
