Meghan Markle Reveals How She Honored Her First Date With Prince Harry On Their Wedding Day & I Believe In Love Again

Cristina Villalonga

If you’re anything like me (a romantic that is living in the United States), you probably woke up on May 19 this year at six in the morning, just to watch the beautiful royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Love was in the air that day. Now, five months since the big day, the love is still going strong. 

In a clip from HBO’s upcoming documentary, Queen of the World, shared by People, cameramen capture the exact moment the Duchess of Sussex was reunited with her gorgeous wedding gown. While admiring the 16-foot silk tulle veil, Meghan revealed that her something blue was stitched into it—and its significance is quite beautiful. “Somewhere in here there’s a piece of blue fabric that’s stitched,” she remarked sweetly. “It’s fabric from the dress that I wore on our first date.”

I think I’ve just died because of how cute that is. 

Meghan and Harry met back in 2016, after being set up on a blind date by a mutual friend. “The only thing that I asked was, ‘is he nice?’” Markle explained in an interview with BBC. “Cause if he wasn’t kind, it just didn’t seem like it would make sense.” Lucky for us, the two hit it off and by December of 2017 were engaged. 

HBO’s new documentary about the Royal Family premieres on October 1.
