Prince Harry and Meghan Markle talk about their blind date

On Monday morning, the nation celebrated the engagement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The 33-year-old royal and 36-year-old American actress spoke about the news in an interview aired that evening. The couple revealed how they met through a "mutual friend" and enjoyed two dates back-to-back in London before Harry convinced Meghan to join him for a five-day tour of Botswana. Meghan said the blind date was "definitely a set-up" and admitted that she didn't have a real understanding of the royal family and didn't know much about Prince Harry himself. "The only thing I asked [our friend] was: 'Well, is he nice?' Because if he wasn't kind, it just didn't seem like it would make sense."
