Meghan Markle Asks Prince Harry Who Is The Perfect Woman On Camera

Meghan Markle was filmed asking Prince Harry what his perfect features are in a woman, in a clip that gained attention after it was posted on TikTok.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex narrate their Netflix documentary Harry and Meghan about how their relationship began in 2016. And Meghan let slip that Harry had written down all the characteristics he hoped to find in his perfect woman.

“He apparently had a list of what he was looking for,” Meghan said, “a long list.”

“I’m not showing you the list, good try,” Harry said, adding that “it’s the list,” gesturing toward Meghan.

While the documentary was released in December 2022, the clip was posted a day ago on TikTok with the following message: “Prince Harry and Meghan met 8 years ago this month. They went on their first date in early July 2016, and they are still a couple.”

The moment, posted to @harry.nd.meghan, has been viewed more than 46,000 times and liked more than 3,600 times. One reply read: “The perfect couple, you can see he calms her down and she calms him down. They are very in love, they don’t care what the media says. They are doing their thing and they love it.”

The clip begins with Meghan discussing how the couple went on holiday together to Botswana, South Africa, just over a month after their first date.

“I get on a plane and I go to the middle of the bush? What do I do?” Meghan said in the six-part docuseries. “What if we don’t like each other?”

“So I come in. It’s the first time I’ve seen him in a month. At first, we’re awkward. Do we hug? Do we kiss? And I remember he handed me a chicken sandwich.”

Meghan added, however, that “luckily we really loved each other.”

“She’s so comfortable and so relaxed around me,” Prince Harry added.

The couple’s first date took place in July 2016 after Harry spotted her in an Instagram video posted by his friend Violet von Westenholz.

In his book, SpareHarry wrote: “I was sitting in Nott Cott (Nottingham Cottage, a house in the grounds of Kensington Palace in London), scrolling through Instagram. In my feed I saw a video: My friend Violet. And a young woman.

“They were playing with a new app that put ridiculous filters on your photos. Violet and the woman had dog ears, dog noses, long red dog tongues hanging out. Despite the overlay of canine cartoons, I sat up straight.

“That woman with Violet… my God. I watched the video a few times, then forced myself to put the phone down. Then I picked it up again and watched the video again,” Harry wrote.

“I have traveled the world, up and down, literally. I have jumped from one continent to another. I have met hundreds of thousands of people, I have crossed paths with an incredibly large cross-section of the seven billion inhabitants of the planet.

“For thirty-two years I’ve watched a conveyor belt of faces go by and only a handful of them have made me look twice. This woman stopped the conveyor belt. This woman smashed the conveyor belt to pieces. I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful,” Harry added.
