Prince Harry recalls the time he asked Meghan Markle on his first date.
Writing in his memoir ‘Spare’, the Duke of Sussex touches upon asking the actress for a night out while she was still in London.
Meghan continued the conversation by asking the venue of their first day out.
“Where to meet?” she asked before Harry replied: “I suggested my place. Your place? On a first date! I don’t think so. No, I didn’t mean it like that. She didn’t realize that being royal meant being radioactive, that I was unable to just meet at a coffee shop or pub.”
He added: “Reluctant to give her a full explanation, I tried to explain obliquely about the risk of being seen. I didn’t do a good job. She suggested an alternative. Soho House at 76 Dean Street. It was her headquarters whenever she came to London. She’d reserve us a table in a quiet room.”
Harry and Meghan eventually tied the knot in 2018.
