UK’s Prince Harry opened up about the start of his relationship with his now-wife Meghan Markle in a candid interview with James Corden on The Late Late Show. Harry said that they went from '0 to 60' in the early days of their romance. He further revealed that dating as a member of the Royal Family is "flipped upside down" as early dates are at home and only when they become a couple they are allowed to go out in public.

Harry toured Los Angeles on an open-top double-decker bus with Corden face timing with his wife Meghan Markle. He said that both of them got to spend an ‘enormous’ amount of time together. Also, there were no distractions, which he said was an ‘amazing’ thing. Harry said that he knew that "she's the one" on their second date. “The second date I was starting to think, ‘wow, this is pretty special,’” said the Duke of Sussex. “It wasn’t so much where we went it was just the fact, the way that we hit it off with each other, and we were just so comfortable in each other’s company," he added in a live-streamed interview.
