Prince Harry has revealed how he secretly met up with Meghan Markle in a supermarket in London when they were first dating.
Speaking on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, the Duke of Sussex spoke about the lengths he and his now wife went to, to keep their blossoming romance under wraps.
Harry said: "The first time Meghan and I met up for her to come and stay with me, we met up in a supermarket in London, pretending we didn't know each other, so were texting each other from the other side of the aisles."

“It was nice, I had a baseball cap on, looking down at the floor, trying to stay incognito."
