Meghan Markle worried about being ‘too eager’ after first date with Prince Harry

SHE may have been out with an actual prince, but Meghan Markle experienced the exact same fear the rest of us do on a first date.

MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry have enjoyed a whirlwind romance over the last two years.

But the former actor was left worrying about coming across “too eager” after their “intoxicating” first date, a royal biographer has revealed.

Writing in Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, Andrew Morton explained the pair first met when the now Duchess of Sussex, 37, was in London promoting the new season of Suits, according to The Sun.

She arrived in the British capital on June 30, 2016, and met the prince the next day, anxiously asking her friends “if he was kind and nice” before the date.

Describing the “first intoxicating meeting”, Morton said: “They were mesmerised by one another, Harry enthralled by her beauty, sophistication and perceptiveness.

“She understood him as a man, not a title … As he subsequently confessed, he realised that he would have to up his game.”

Meghan was staying at the Dean Street Townhouse, Soho, while Harry returned home to Nottingham Cottage in Kensington Palace at the end of the night.

“Both were buzzing,” Morton wrote. “As she relived that fateful evening in her mind, she perhaps wondered if she had been too eager to accept his invitation to meet again the following day. Stay classy, Ms Markle.”

The couple enjoyed back-to-back dates before Meghan flew home to Toronto four days later, on July 5.

Meghan was immediately smitten and posted a telltale picture to Instagram on July 3 — a love heart sweet with the words ‘Kiss Me’ on it, captioned: “Love Hearts in London.”
