How Meghan Markle 'predicted royal family exit' and hinted at tell-all interviews

Meghan and Harry may have predicted their exit from the royal family and hinted at their tell-all interviews.

The couple's love story began in 2016 after they were introduced by a mutual friend.

Meghan and Harry enjoyed a number of cosy and private dates in London - including enjoying drinks at Soho Townhouse.

Recently, Harry, 36, revealed how the pair even met up in secret for a date in a supermarket as they worked at keeping their growing bond under the radar.

After six months of dating, the news was finally revealed that Prince Harry was in a relationship with Meghan - propelling them into the royal spotlight.

In these early stages of their relationship, Meghan spoke about how they dealt with the attention while still getting to know one another - and possibly hinted at a change of direction for the couple - which ultimately came when they quit as senior royals in early 2020.

Meghan told Vanity Fair: "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."

The relationship continued to blossom and in May 2018, they got married in Windsor Castle before welcoming their first born, Archie almost exactly a year later.

Today, Meghan and Harry celebrate their third wedding anniversary.

The couple married during a glittering ceremony on May 19, 2018 and are likely to mark their milestone privately at their Californian home.

Traditionally, a third wedding anniversary is celebrated with gifts made from leather.

The wedding heralded a new chapter for the monarchy as it was welcoming a person of mixed race into the family for the first time in centuries.

But just 18 months after exchanging their vows the Sussexes travelled to North America with their son Archie and have never permanently returned to their UK home.

They have since revealed details of their struggles within the royal family- including claims one royal asked how dark Archie's skin would be when he was born.

Meghan also claimed she was refused help from the royal family when she struggled with her mental health and even battled suicidal thoughts.
