Their first date

During the couple’s post-engagement interview with BBC, Meghan said her only concern before their first date was whether her date would be nice. “When she wanted to set us up, I had one question: is he nice? Because if he wasn’t kind then it didn’t seem like it would make sense,†said Meghan in the BBC interview. During their first date, the couple met up for drinks. “So, we went and met for a drink and very quickly into that we were asking what the other was doing tomorrow,†Meghan told the interviewer.
Harry was impressed with Meghan
The first meeting between the couple went quite well. Prince Harry told BBC he knew right away that he would have to try hard to win Meghan over. “I’d never, never even heard about her until this friend said ‘Meghan Markle.’ I was like, ‘Right okay, give me, give me a bit of background, like what’s going on here?’ When I walked into that room and saw her and there she was sitting there, I was like ‘Okay, well I’m going to have to really up my game here,†he said.
