Meghan Markle was filmed asking Prince Harry what was on his list of perfect characteristics in a woman, in a clip that caught attention after it was posted on TikTok.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex told their Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan about how their relationship started back in 2016. And Meghan let slip that Harry had written down all the characteristics he hoped to find in his perfect woman.
“He had a list apparently of what he was looking for,” Meghan said, “an extensive list.”
“I’m not showing you the list; nice try,” Harry said, adding that “this is the list,” as he gestured at Meghan.
While the documentary was released in December 2022, the clip was posted a day ago on TikTok alongside the message: “Prince Harry and Meghan met 8 years ago this month. They had their first dates at the beginning of July 2016, and they are still going strong.”
The moment, posted to @harry.nd.meghan, was viewed more than 46,000 times and liked over 3,600 times. One reply reads: “The perfect pair you can see he calms her and she calms him. They’re very much in love they don’t care what the media says. They do their thing and they love it.”
“I’m getting on the plane and going to the middle of the bush? What am I doing?” Meghan said in the six-part docuseries. “What if we don’t like each other?
“So I get there. This is the first time I’ve seen him in a month. We’re awkward at first. Do we hug? Do we kiss? And I remember he handed me a chicken sandwich.”
Meghan added, though that, “thankfully, we really liked each other.”
“She’s so comfortable and so relaxed in my company,” Prince Harry added.
The couple’s first date was in July 2016 after Harry spotted her in an Instagram video posted by his friend Violet von Westenholz.
In his book, Spare, Harry wrote: “I was sitting around Nott Cott [Nottingham Cottage, a house in the grounds of Kensington Palace in London], scrolling through Instagram. In my feed I saw a video: My friend Violet. And a young woman.
“They were playing with a new app that put silly filters on your photos. Violet and the woman had dog ears, dog noses, long red dog tongues hanging out. Despite the canine cartoon overlay, I sat up straighter.
“This woman with Violet… my God. I watched the video several times, then forced myself to put down the phone. Then picked it up again, watched the video again,” Harry wrote.
“I’d traveled the world, from top to bottom, literally. I’d hopscotched the continents. I’d met hundreds of thousands of people, I’d crossed paths with a ludicrously large cross-section of the planet’s seven billion residents.
“For thirty-two years I’d watched a conveyor-belt of faces pass by and only a handful ever made me look twice. This woman stopped the conveyor-belt. This woman smashed the conveyor-belt to bits. I’d never seen anyone so beautiful,” Harry added.
