Meghan Markle reached out to Liz Hurley over her stint on TV show, The Royals, prior to meeting Prince Harry. Despite this, Meghan has since claimed that she knew very little about the Royal Family before meeting her now-husband in 2016.
In 2021, six years after reaching out to Liz Hurley, Meghan spoke to Oprah Winfrey, during the couple’s bombshell televised interview, about how little she previously knew about the Royal Family.
Speaking about growing up, Meghan told Oprah that it wasn’t “something that was part of conversation at home” and wasn’t “something we followed”.
She added that, in the early days of dating the 38-year-old, she “didn’t do any research” and “never looked up my husband online”.
She claimed that “everything I needed to know, he was telling me”.
In their recent Netflix docu-series, Harry and Meghan, Harry revealed that “Meghan and I met over Instagram”.

The couple initially started out as long distance, with Meghan having one ultimatum for the relationship to blossom – that they agreed to meet every fortnight.
The couple met in London, during the summer of 2016, with their whirlwind romance soon turning into an engagement at the end of 2017. The couple married six months later, in Windsor, in May 2018.
Meghan’s blog ran from 2014, whilst she was starring as Rachel Zane in Suits, until 2017.
