Prince Harry Reveals How His Relationship with Meghan Markle Started

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle started dating back in 2016, they had to "get creative" about meeting each other in public. Last week, The Duke of Sussex appeared on Dax Shepard's podcast, Armchair Expert, and he spoke about his sort of "normal life" now and growing up within the royal family as a child. He said he only did typical things like grocery shopping with his mother Princess Diana because they were always "pounced on" by paparazzi. 

Harry said, "The first time that Meghan and I met up for her to come and stay with me, we met up in a supermarket in London pretending that we didn't know each other," Harry said. "So we texted each other from the other side of the aisle, people looking at me and giving me all these weird looks, coming up to say 'hi,' whatever. And I was like, texting. It's like, 'Is this the right one?' She's like, 'No, you want parchment paper.' I'm like, 'Okay, where's the parchment paper?' It was nice. Yeah, baseball cap on, looking down at the floor. I don't know how many times you've done that when you're walking down the street trying to stay incognito. It's like 'Woah, signpost!' 'Oh, someone's dog!' It's amazing what you see. How much chewing gum you see and how many people's shoes you see. It's a mess."

Prince Harry also said that he and Meghan feel more "free" since relocating to California with their son, Archie. "Here, I can actually lift my head and I feel different. My shoulders have dropped, so has hers," he said. "You walk around feeling a little bit more free. I get to take Archie on the back of my bicycle. I never had the chance to do that."
