Meghan Markle implemented a strict two-week dating rule when she first started seeing Prince Harry, according to the couple's Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan. The Duchess of Sussex explained that the rule was designed to give them time to get to know each other away from public scrutiny.
Before setting out her terms, the couple spent a week camping together in the wilderness. Meghan then insisted that Harry agree to the two-week rule before she returned home. Harry admitted he was initially unsure how it would work given his commitments, but Meghan flew to England and stayed on the grounds of Kensington Palace for walks around Frogmore.
During this period, Meghan conducted her own 'research' on Harry by checking his social media feeds. She said: 'Let me see what they're about in their feed, not what someone else says about them. That to me was the best barometer.'
Meghan also took the initiative to ask Harry for a second date shortly after their first. She recalled: 'I called him that evening and said "Look I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, do you want to grab dinner tomorrow night?" I'm sure he thought it was so forward and American.'
It also emerged that Harry had his own list of what he was looking for in a partner, but he refused to reveal the details when asked by Meghan, simply pointing to her and saying, 'This is the list.'
