About that, Prince Harry said: “I was browsing my Instagram account, and I saw a video showing one of my friends and Megan, where Megan was wearing a dog-shaped filter … and then his friend asked who this girl is.” Then this mutual friend told Meghan that Prince Harry asked about her and suggested that they meet, and Meghan revealed, asking, with a smile: “I said: Who is this?” Then she asked if she could see his Instagram account.
Megan added that she liked Harry’s account, and the next day the duo exchanged their phone numbers, and their love story began.
someone who “fits the mold”
The Duke has revealed what drives royals to marry someone who “fits the mould”, stating he believes that for many family members, especially men, there can be a temptation or drive to marry someone who fits the mold, rather than someone they love to be with.
Harry added that there is a difference between making decisions with your head or your heart, and that his mother, the late Princess Diana, made most of her decisions from her heart, and that he is his mother’s son.

Prince Harry claims that members of the royal family have asked: Why should Meghan get “special treatment” and “protection”?
