“We’re two people who are really happy and in love” – Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s girlfriend speaks about their relationship for the first time

‘Suits’ star Actress Meghan Markle, who was the celebrity cover of the society magazine’s October issue, in her interview with Vanity Fair talked about her relationship with British royal, Prince Harry, for the first time.

Meghan who has never spoken publicly about her affair with the 32-year-old fifth-in-line to the throne, confirmed during the interview that Harry is her boyfriend, and they are “really happy and in love.”

On the media frenzy that erupted after their relationship was revealed last year, she said;

“It has its challenges, and it comes in waves—some days it can feel more challenging than others. And right out of the gate it was surprising the way things changed. But I still have this support system all around me, and, of course, my boyfriend’s support.

“I can tell you that at the end of the day I think it’s really simple. We’re two people who are really happy and in love.”

Markle added of the relationship: “We were very quietly dating for about six months before it became news, and I was working during that whole time, and the only thing that changed was people’s perception. Nothing about me changed. I’m still the same person that I am, and I’ve never defined myself by my relationship.”

36-year-old Meghan, who has been subject of persistent engagement rumors alongside her boyfriend, also said she hopes people will allow her and Harry the time to develop as a couple outside the public spotlight.:

“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.

“This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.”

Meghan also divulged that she tries not to read stories about herself in the press and on social media, saying: “The people who are close to me anchor me in knowing who I am. The rest is noise.”
