Meghan Markle and Prince Harry first met on a blind date in early July 2016 in London, after being set up by a mutual friend.

• In their engagement interview, they said they met for drinks and hit it off so quickly that they immediately planned to see each other again the next day.

• In later accounts, including the Netflix series Harry & Meghan, Harry shared that he first noticed Meghan in a photo on a friend’s social media (with a Snapchat dog filter) before asking to be introduced, which led to that same July 2016 date at 76 Dean Street in London.
