Prince Harry confesses he arrived late at his first date with Meghan Markle.
Writing in his memoir ‘Spare’, the Duke of Sussex shares he got stuck in a horrible traffic jam as he was passing the Piccadilly Circus to see the actress.
He pens: “I ran into every conceivable obstacle. Again and again my bodyguards and I would come to a full stop in the road and we’d just sit. Five minutes. Ten. Groaning, sweating, mentally shouting at the mass of unmoving cars. Come! On! Finally it couldn’t be avoided. I texted: Running a bit late, sorry. She was already there. I apologized: Horrible traffic. Her reply: OK. I told myself: She might leave.”
Harry then panicked: “I told my bodyguards: She’s gonna leave. As we inched towards the restaurant I texted again: Moving, but still slow. Can’t you just get out? How to explain? No, I couldn’t. I wasn’t able to go running through the streets of London. It would be like a llama running through the streets..”
Harry and Meghan eventually tied the knot in 2018.
