The couple met the previous year and after much speculation their relationship was confirmed in early November 2016, in an unprecedented statement from the palace asking for the “abuse and harassment” of Markle and her family by the media to end.
Despite this confirmation, it took until the following September for the couple to make their first appearance in public, after being photographed together at the Invictus Games in London.
