Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been dating since the summer, and their relationship is reportedly getting pretty serious. According to sources, Prince Harry is “besotted” with the Suits actress. But since actions speak louder than words, here are the adorable things he’s done for her so far in their relationship.
He made a 1,700-mile detour to visit her
The most recent gesture Prince Harry made that caused a stir was rerouting his trip from Barbados back to London in order to visit Markle in Canada.
According to The Daily Beast, the decision to make the stop in Canada was a controversial one because the royal household has a policy of not combining business trips with personal travel. Prince Harry was in the Caribbean for a two-week official royal tour. But the royal household’s policy didn’t stop Prince Harry, who has always been known as a bit of a rebel in the family.
Bonding over dog-walking dates
Prince Harry may live the life of an extravagant royal, but when he’s not in the spotlight, it seems the prince likes to keep things low-key. According to The Mirror, he and Markle bonded on secret walks with their dogs.
Their first romantic getaway
A source who spoke with Us Weekly said that Markle and Prince Harry have some private travel plans for December. “It will be a one-week trip,” the source confirmed. “There are just a few details left to finalize.”
Markle seemed to confirm her December travel plans during an interview with the Vancouver Sun: “December is holiday time,” she said, “and I’m really looking forward to seeing my family and traveling.”
He defended her against harassment
When news of Prince Harry and Markle’s relationship broke in November, Markle was apparently subject to paparazzi and press overload. Luckily, Markle’s prince came to her rescue and released an official letter via the palace asking the press to respect Markle’s privacy.
He gave her an ‘H’ and ‘M’ necklace
At the beginning of December, Markle was seen wearing a customized necklace with the letters “H” and “M” on a dainty gold chain. Rumor has it that Prince Harry had the necklace made for her, though that is unconfirmed. It could very well be that the designer simply sent it to Markle as swag, but even if that’s the case, she still felt confident enough in her relationship with Prince Harry to sport the jewelry.
They wear matching bracelets
Markle posted this photo on Instagram a few weeks back, rocking some beaded bracelets that Us Weekly quickly recognized. Apparently they look similar to the bracelets Prince Harry got during a trip to Africa. Coincidence? We think not.
Prince Harry follows Markle on social media
According to The Sun, one of Markle’s 1.3 million Instagram followers is the prince himself. But don’t expect to find his handle on her page; apparently he keeps his private account private.
He praised her caring spirit
Markle and Prince Harry are both very philanthropic and bonded over their love of doing good.
For her part, Markle is a global ambassador for World Vision Canada and presented at the U.N. for the HeforShe Gender Equality Campaign in 2014, among other efforts.
Prince Harry reportedly loves it. A source explained to PopSugar, “Harry loves that she is so into philanthropy. One of the first things they spoke about was all the work she does with shelter animals. He loves that she’s so caring.”
He’s already introduced her to the family
Us Weekly reported that Markle already has Prince William’s seal of approval, and she’s even met Prince Charles, Prince Harry’s dad.
And now that Prince William has approved, apparently Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, is interested in meeting Markle as well.
He skipped family Easter celebrations to visit her
According to sources, Harry skipped out on the Royal Easter celebrations and secretly flew to Toronto to visit Markle, who is there filming Suits.
“He had planned to visit her after she started filming and it will be one of a few trips while she’s working on Suits,” an insider said. “It’s been a few weeks since they were last together, one of their longest stints apart, and they were really missing each other.”
Romantic, eh?
