Between their incredible royal wedding at Windsor Castle and every simple-yet-sweet moment of hand-holding in between, these romantic photos of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry from over the years prove their love story is one for the ages. You just can't fake true sweetness like what they have for each other. You can't.
Now, ever since the former Suits actress got engaged to Prince Harry in November 2017, the couple has been constantly scrutinized. By the press, particularly the British tabloid media, and on social media as well. To the point where they rather famously and historically stepped away from their senior royal roles back in January 2020 and moved across the ocean to start a new life in Los Angeles.
But did all that scrutiny ever really wipe the smiles of joy off their faces when they were looking at each other? Did it stop the two of them from reaching for each other affectionately every chance they got, royal protocol or not? Nope. The two have given the impression of being lost in their own love story for the past few years, and honestly it's a truly beautiful sight to see. So let's take a quick walk down memory lane with the young lovers, shall we?
Big Grins And Ripped Jeans
Back in the early days of their relationship, Markle and Prince Harry finally went public at the Invictus Games in Toronto, Canada in 2017. It was September, and the two had been making efforts to keep their love under wraps for a few months, but once they went public, their happy smiles exploded all over their faces. Also who didn't try to copy Markle's style here? Still trying.
Only Have Eyes For You
In 2017, Markle and Prince Harry were at the Invictus Games to watch injured military men and women compete in sporting events, but clearly only had eyes for each other.
Beloved Betrothed
When Markle and Prince Harry got engaged in November 2017 (he proposed as they roasted a chicken in a cottage together, as they shared in an interview with the BBC), they were smiling ear-to-ear.
How Touching, They're Always Touching
When Prince Harry and Markle attended one of their first royal events together in December 2017, the Terrance Higgins Trust World AIDS Day, they were adorably clutching each other.
The Merriest Christmas
Later on, Markle joined the entire royal gang at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk County for her first Christmas with the Queen, but of course you know who she was keeping close... her sweet prince.
She Gets A Kick Out Of Him
When the couple joined with his older brother Prince William and sister-in-law Kate Middleton for a Royal Foundation event in February, Prince Harry proved the way to a woman's heart is laughter.
There Are Planes In The Sky, Guys
Markle was on hand to celebrate the centenary of the Royal Air Force on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in April 2018, but guess where she and Prince Harry were looking? Not at the planes in the sky, that's for sure.
Prince Harry's Emotional Moment
If you were watching the royal wedding on TV on May 19, 2018, you remember this moment. When a teary-eyed Prince Harry lifted Meghan Markle's veil as the two stood in front of the world at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. It was heartfelt and emotional.
That Kiss
That kiss between the two on the steps of the chapel. Officially husband and wife. No words.
Also This Kiss
At the Sentebale Polo 2018 polo tournament, Markle proved the romance was still alive and well after their wedding by planting a kiss on her husband.
Love Down Under
Their starry-eyed staring contest continued during their official tour of Australia in October 2018. Perhaps because they knew Markle was pregnant with their first child.
Secret Jokes?
At the Sydney, Australia Invictus Games in 2018 Markle and Prince Harry continued to laugh at each other's jokes.
Pregnant And Glowing
At a Commonwealth Youth Event at Canada House in London, Markle was looking truly content to be pregnant. And Prince Harry was looking content to be married to her.
And Archie Makes 3
It turns out there is only one other person who brings out Markle's smile like Prince Harry, and that's her baby boy. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on May 6, 2019, and his parents looked ecstatic.
Date Night At 'The Lion King'
Archie was a few months old when Prince Harry threw on a tux and took his glammed-up wife to see the British premiere of The Lion King in July 2019. Holding hands, no surprise, but they got to meet Beyoncé, so that's cool.
Can I Have This Dance?
I don't know who is having the most fun in Cape Town, South Africa in September 2019; Markle getting ready to dance or Prince Harry standing next to her, grinning.
Still Checking Her Out
At a roundtable discussion of gender equality as members of the Queen's Commonwealth Trust in 2019, Markle looked all business. And Prince Harry just looked at her.
Decision Made
In January 2020, Markle and Prince Harry returned to the United Kingdom after an extended holiday on the west coast of Canada. They came back, as we would soon learn, to let the world know they were stepping back from their senior royal roles.
Eye On The Prize
Markle was big news in March, not everyone was happy to see her leaving the royal family. But did she let that bother her? Maybe, although you couldn't tell when she attended a Commonwealth Day service in March 2020 in the U.K. She was looking right at Prince Harry. And wearing a cape.
Talk About A Metaphor
It might have been raining in London when Markle and Prince Harry attended the Endeavor Awards in March, but they stayed dry and happy under an umbrella together. If that's not a metaphor for their love story, I don't know what is.
