Prince Harry is under scrutiny once again as new details emerge about the beginnings of his relationship with Meghan Markle. Reports from RadarOnline.com suggest that Harry may have “stalked” Meghan on Instagram before they officially met, a claim partly substantiated by Harry himself in his memoir, Spare.
The controversy revolves around Harry’s own account of the moment he first laid eyes on Meghan in 2016. Contrary to popular belief that he became infatuated with her after seeing her on the TV show Suits, Harry confesses in his memoir that he first saw Meghan on Instagram.
According to insiders, Harry’s initial fascination with Meghan quickly escalated into what they describe as a “full-blown digital pursuit.” Sources close to the royal circle reveal that Harry was not casually browsing Meghan’s profile but was actively checking it repeatedly, asking friends about her, and eagerly awaiting any new posts. One insider even goes as far as to suggest that Harry’s online interest in Meghan bordered on stalking.
Harry’s memoir details how he first saw Meghan in a video posted by his childhood friend Violet von Westenholz. He admits to watching the clip several times, mesmerized by her beauty. Sources reveal that Harry was glued to his phone after seeing the video, constantly messaging her or looking at her pictures.
Harry’s next move was to request an introduction to Meghan through von Westenholz, which eventually led to a message from Meghan complimenting Harry on his travel photos. Harry recalls spending hours texting Meghan, feeling like a teenager locked in his room.
Their first date, which Harry was 30 minutes late for due to traffic, went smoothly, with Harry describing Meghan as “heart-attack beautiful.” Their second date was followed by a week-long trip to Botswana, where Harry realized that Meghan was his soulmate.
Despite the intense and somewhat unconventional beginnings of their relationship, Harry and Meghan’s love story blossomed into a fairytale romance. The details of their early interactions serve as a reminder that love can sometimes find us in unexpected ways, even in the digital age.
