Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hit it off after a friend set them up for a blind date. Well, that’s what they initially told BBC, but in their Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” Harry revealed the full story and said that he was first interested in Markle when he saw her posing with their mutual friend on Instagram. The rest, as they say, is history that everyone and their mother knows by now.
Harry had been in a series of relationships with notable women before Markle caught his eye. His longest relationship was with businesswoman Chelsy Davy. They publicly dated on and off from 2004 to 2011, per Daily Mail. Before her, Harry was rumored to be dating TV presenter Natalie Pinkham in 2002, as reported by The Telegraph. After his breakup with Davy, the royal was rumored to have dated Norwegian singer Camilla Romestrand for a while (via CBS).
