Meghan Markle's awkward response when asked to 'choose Prince Harry or William'
So, did Meghan have a royal crush before she met Harry?
The narrative online is that Meghan Markle had the hots for Prince Harry all along. Some claim that she told a fib about her lack of knowledge of the royal family.
They claim that Meghan had instead been an observer all along, with a love for Princess Diana and dreams of becoming a princess one day.
However, an awkward clip from 2015, just months before she met Prince Harry, proves that wooing a prince was the last thing on her mind.
Meghan Markle’s ‘indifference’ towards Prince Harry before first date
The former Suits actress battles an array of narratives, especially on social media, with some dubbing her love story with the now Duke of Sussex calculated.
Elsewhere, others insist that Meghan was more focused on her thriving acting career than bagging a prince.
One thing that is very clear, is that it was love at first sight for Prince Harry.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle hadn’t been amongst the flocks of clamouring Prince Harry fans.
In a resurfaced clip from 2015, a laidback Meghan is being interviewed about a variety of topics.
It was here that she was asked who she prefers, Prince William or Prince Harry?
A baffled Meghan failed to give an answer and was quickly prompted by her interviewer to choose the “single” brother.

In the 10-second clip the reporter asked: “Prince William or Prince Harry?”
Meghan giggled and exclaimed: “I don’t know.”
She was then prompted by the reporter, who said “Harry?”
Meghan then replied: “Sure, Harry.”
The footage was reportedly recorded in Canada in October 2015.
The Sussexes first met in July of 2016 before jetting off on a romantic holiday to Botswana just a month later.
Biographer Andrew Morton claims Meghan was more interested in whether the dashing prince was kind before their first date, rather than his famous family and regal upbringing.
