From mere whispers of a relationship to a full-on royal wedding to a pregnancy announcement, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been enchanting the world with their adorable moments together. The couple knows no bounds when it comes to issuing a collective “awww” out of the world, so here are their most adorable moments together.
Their first official public appearance at Invictus Games in Toronto
Though the two had been photographed at private events together, their first official outing as a couple was at the Invictus Games in Markle’s hometown of Toronto in September 2017. At the event, the two shared inside jokes and laughed together.

Later that month, Markle told Vanity Fair that “We’re a couple. We’re in love. I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.”
Their engagement interview
The two appeared lovey-dovey together in an interview with the BBC after announcing their engagement to the world in November 2017. During the interview, Markle told the story of how Harry proposed — and how she could barely wait for him to actually pop the question before she said yes.
“I could barely let you finish proposing,” she said to Harry. “I was like, ‘Can I say yes now?’”
Harry agreed and added that Markle almost forgot about the ring amid the frenzy.
“And then there was hugs and I had the ring in my finger and I was like, ‘Can I give you the ring?’” he said. “She goes, ‘Oh yes, the ring!’”
Markle said the two were spending an evening alone that night and called it an “amazing surprise. It was so sweet and natural and very romantic,” she said. “He got on one knee.”
Engagement photo shoot
Don’t even get us started on the official portraits of the couple, taken by photographer Alexi Lubomirski and released by Kensington Palace about a month after the engagement announcement.
The intimate photos shot Cupid’s arrows straight into the hearts of royal fans across the world.
PDA at the Royal Foundation Forum
A few months later, the two shared some major PDA at the Royal Foundation Forum in February 2018.

Even when Harry had to leave Markle’s side, she watched from the audience with a dreamy smile on her face.

Their kiss at the 2018 Sentebale polo match
The couples’ love was on display once again at the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup at the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club in England, where Markle was on hand to cheer on her husband, who was competing on his charity’s team. His charity, Sentebale, aims to help African children affected by AIDS.

While attending a special Sentebale fundraising performance of Hamilton, Harry took to the stage at the end of the show with the cast, breaking out into impromptu song.
“You say…” he began, as the cast and crowd burst into cheers and applause before the royal quickly halted his mini-performance.
As Hamilton fans know, the song Harry referenced, “You’ll Be Back,” is sung in the musical by King George III, who happens to be Harry’s ancestor in real life.
Later, Markle and Harry appeared to be cracking up laughing at something while posing for a photo with the cast.

Harry’s reaction to Markle’s pregnancy
Of course Harry had an adorable reaction to the news of his wife’s first pregnancy. He brought it up when they kicked off their royal tour of the Commonwealth in Australia, giving a speech at the event.
“We’re both absolutely delighted to be here and really impressed to see you serving beer and tea at an afternoon reception in true Aussie style,” he said. “We also, genuinely, couldn’t think of a better place to announce the upcoming baby, be it a boy or girl, so thank you very much.”
