For months, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were forced to keep their relationship private. But now that the couple has officially announced their engagement to the public, Prince Harry is excited to share with the world how smitten he is with his fiancée. In an interview with the BBC's Mishal Husain, the prince happily gushed about his new lady, but this isn't the first time. There have been a few other instances in which Prince Harry has spoken highly about Markle, so we've rounded up some of the sweetest remarks he's ever made about her below.
"When did I know she was 'The One?' The very first time we met."
The couple hosted a photo-call outside of Kensington Palace on
Monday where they were able to step out for the first time as a newly
engaged couple. Meghan showed off her beautiful ring and Prince Harry shared
how he knew from the moment he met her that he wanted to spend the rest of
his life with her.
"I was beautifully surprised when I walked into that room and saw
her ... and there she was, sitting there. I was, like, 'OK, well I'm
really going to have to up my game here [and] sit down and make sure I
have a good chat.'"
Prince Harry and Meghan were set up on a blind date. And
although Harry admitted he had never seen her on Suits before, he was blown
away by her beauty when they first met.
"The fact that I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly
quickly was sort of confirmation to me that all of the stars were aligned,
everything was just perfect. [There] was this beautiful woman, who just
sort of literally tripped and fell into my life [and] I fell into her
life."
Prince Harry seems to believe "what's meant to be will be" and
that the timing could not have been more perfect for him and his future
wife.
"The fact that she'll be really, unbelievably good at the job part
of it as well is obviously a huge relief to me, because she'll be able to
deal with everything else that comes with it."
Prince Harry shared that he is confident in Meghan's ability to
handle all of the pressures that come along with being a royal.
"I know that at the end of the day, she chooses me. I choose her.
Whatever we have to tackle will be us together as a team."
Meghan and Harry both share many of the same philanthropic
passions. In fact, she shared that she quit acting to focus on "a new
chapter."
"Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle's safety and is
deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her."
In the earlier days of their relationship, Harry released a
statement via his communications secretary in defense of Meghan after she
was reportedly harassed by tabloids and the public. His comment about
wishing he could protect her showed he is not only her prince charming, but
also her knight in shining armor.
