Sussex, Duchess of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry began dating in the summer of 2016 after a mutual friend set them up on a blind date.

According to reports, the couple kept their relationship a secret for several months before confirming it in November 2016.

They announced their engagement in November 2017 and married on May 19, 2018 in a lavish ceremony at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

Meghan and Harry had to make their relationship work from across the Atlantic and across two time zones in the beginning.

In an interview with the BBC following their engagement, the Duchess of Sussex admitted it was difficult, but they always managed to make it work.

Meghan had said: “It was just a choice. Right? I think that very early on when we realised we were going to commit to each other, we knew we had to invest the time and the energy and whatever it took to make that happen. So yes, with the filming schedule, it was not the easiest (laughs) because it of course included a lot of travel back and forth.”

In the same interview, Prince Harry joked that Meghan had no idea what time zone she was in during their relationship, which Meghan laughedly agreed was correct.

“Coming over here four days or a week, and then going back and straight into filming the next day, 4am wake up calls on a Monday, straight into set,” Harry told The Mirror.
