Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Accused of 'Rewriting' Royal Romance in 'Plot Twist' Over How They First Met

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle met during the summer of 2016 via blind date... only it would seem that is now not how it all happened.

This led royal editor Richard Eden to share, "They [Harry and Meghan] really are [trying to rewrite history], I think Meghan is trying to rewrite history."

"There's one version that was out at the time, and she's trying to say 'no, that's not what happened at all,' he added. "And now, this is Mishal Husain saying 'oh wait a minute, don't just try to rewrite history like that.'"

This follows reports that suggested the Duke of Sussex was not feeling the monarchy long before he first laid eyes on Meghan.

"I spent many years kicking my heels and I didn't want to grow up," the fifth in line to the throne told an outlet in 2017. "I felt I wanted out, but then decided to stay in and work out a role for myself."

During their 2016-2017 courtship, initial reports reflected that the Duchess-to-be was clueless about the British monarchy and how it functions.

"I think I can safely say, as naive as it sounds now, having gone through this learning curve in the past year and a half, that I did not have any understanding of just what it would be like," the Suits star told interviewer Husain during her and Harry's engagement interview. "I think neither of us did."

I tried to warn you as much as possible," Harry added. "But I think both of us were totally surprised by the reaction after the first five or six months, of what actually happened after then. So you can have as many conversations as you want and try and prepare as much as possible, but we were totally unprepared for what happened after that."

Meghan replied: "There's a misconception that because I have worked in the entertainment industry, that this is something I'd be familiar with, but even though I'd been on my show [Suits] for six years at that point and working before that, I'd never been part of tabloid culture; I've never been in pop culture to that degree."

Harry and Meghan first met and began dating in July 2016. Meghan continued to work on her TV show during their relationship before the duo decided to go forward with an engagement in late 2017, which, due to Harry's proximity to the throne, would make them senior working royals at marriage.

The actress continued to Husain: "I lived a relatively quiet life even though I focused so much on my job. So that was a really stark difference out of the gate."
