Prince Harry recalls being ‘mesmerized’ by Meghan Markle’s beauty

• Prince Harry remembers his first encounter with Meghan Markle.
• He saw a video of her and her friend Violet playing with an app.
• He told himself that he had never seen anyone so beautiful.

Prince Harry remembers the first time he saw Meghan Markle in late 2016. In his biography ‘Spare,’ the Duke of Sussex admits to stalking Meghan on Instagram and being charmed by her antics.

He writes: “In my feed I saw a video: My friend Violet. And a young woman. They were playing with a new app that put silly filters on your photos. Violet and the woman had dog ears, dog noses, long red dog tongues hanging out. Despite the canine cartoon overlay, I sat up straighter. This woman with Violet…my God. I watched the video several times, then forced myself to put down the phone. Then picked it up again, watched the video again.”

Harry immediately told himself: “I’d traveled the world, from top to bottom, literally. I’d hopscotched the continents. I’d met hundreds of thousands of people, I’d crossed paths with a ludicrously large cross-section of the planet’s seven billion residents. For thirty two years I’d watched a conveyor-belt of faces pass by and only a handful ever made me look twice. This woman stopped the conveyor-belt. This woman smashed the conveyor-belt to bits. I’d never seen anyone so beautiful.”

Harry and Meghan ultimately married in 2018.
