According to a royal biographer, Prince Harry was deeply moved by memories of his late mother, Princess Diana, during his initial outing with Meghan Markle. Angela Levin suggests that Meghan Markle strategically wore Princess Diana's preferred fragrance during their first encounter in an effort to capture Harry's heart. This insider advantage may have played a role in Meghan Markle successfully winning Prince Harry's affection.

Angela Levin said, “The first time they met, she had Diana’s perfume on. Of course, Harry was just overwhelmed by that because he was a boy that loved cuddling up to his mother." Their inaugural rendezvous took place at SoHo House, a members-only club in London. Prince Harry, who disclosed the details in his memoir 'Spare,' was reportedly delayed by approximately thirty minutes due to heavy traffic.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle politely excused herself from the date as she had already made prior dinner arrangements. “But speaking of time, ours was up. Poof, she was gone.

Compared to her, Cinderella was the queen of long goodbyes," Prince Harry wrote, adding that he was captivated by Meghan Markle at their first meeting. “She was wearing a black sweater, jeans, and heels. I knew nothing about clothes, but I knew she was chic.

Then again, she could make anything look chic," Prince Harry wrote, adding, “I’d seen so many photos of her from fashion shoots and TV sets, all glam and glossy, but here she was, in the flesh, no frills, no filter… and even more beautiful. Heart attack, beautiful. I was trying to process this, struggling to understand what was happening to my circulatory and nervous systems, and as a result, my brain couldn’t handle any more data.
