"I was just scrolling through my feed and someone who was a friend had this video of the two of them, like a Snapchat, with dog ears.
"That was the first thing - I was like 'who is THAT?'"
Meghan added that their mutual friend emailed her to say ‘Prince Haz’ had asked about her and suggested they meet up.
“I said, ‘who’s that?’” Meghan revealed. “I asked if I could see his feed.”
She went on: “So that's the thing, when people say, 'Did you google him?’, No. That's your homework. You're like let me see what they're about in their feed, not what someone else says about them but what they are putting out about themselves.
"That, to me, was the best barometer," she continued. "So I went through and it was just like beautiful photography and all these environmental shots, and this time he was spending in Africa.”
The couple swapped numbers the following day and arranged to meet up in London, where they had their first date at Soho House.
Harry revealed they kept their relationship for a secret as long as possible, making things work long-distance with regular FaceTime chats.
