It was on 27
November 2017 that the royal Kensington Palace announced Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement, altogether it is been four years.
Speaking
at an interview, Meghan was asked about the first time she met the Queen,
Prince Harry’s grandmother, and how she felt.
Responding
to the question, Meghan said: “It’s incredible, I think, you know, to be
able to meet her through [Harry’s] lens, not just with his honour and respect
for her as the monarch, but the love that he has for her as his
grandmother, all of those layers
have been so important for me so that when I met her I had such a deep
understanding and of course incredible respect for being able to have that time
with her. And we’ve had a really-she’s-she’s an incredible woman.”
With regard to Kate Middleton, she said: “She’s been
amazing.”
In his
case, Prince Harry was asked about introducing his fiancée, Megan, to his
family-brother and sister-in-law, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The
Prince replied: “It was exciting. I mean I’ve – you know I’d been seeing
[Meghan] for a period of time when I – literally didn’t tell anybody at all.
And then William was
longing to meet her and so was Catherine, so you know being our neighbors we
managed to get that in a couple of – well quite a few times now and Catherine
has been absolutely amazing.”
