After Clarence House announced the engagement of former British army captain Prince Harry and American actor Meghan Markle, the couple shared their thoughts on their public persona. During their firsts sit-down interview with the BBC upon announcing their engagement, Markle made it clear why that word “whirlwind” doesn’t their dynamic or trajectory. “I don’t think that I would call it a whirlwind in terms of our relationship […] We had a good five, six months almost with just privacy, which was amazing. But no, I think we were able to really have so much time just to connect and we never went longer than two weeks without seeing each other.”
The couple went on to explain that with their busy schedules, they made each other a priority quickly, and it was that rapidity that served as a good omen. Later in the same interview, Prince Harry gushed, “The fact that I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly was a sort of confirmation to me that everything, all the stars were aligned. Everything was just perfect. It was this beautiful woman just sort of that — she tripped and fell into my life; I fell into her life.”
