Meghan Markle has revealed the unusual third date she enjoyed with Prince Harry, during which the couple spent days on end together in Africa. The second season of With Love, Meghan, dropped on Netflix this morning, with the Duchess revealing tidbits about her life with Prince Harry and the early days of their relationship. One revelation came while she painted aprons with Queer Eye star Tan France in the third episode of the season.

A curious France asked Meghan when she knew she was in love with Prince Harry, with whom she shares two children, and she revealed that it was their third date. The pair first met on a blind date set up by a mutual friend in 2016. The couple quickly fell in love, and they were married by May 2018, less than two years after first meeting. Things moved fast for the romantics, as Meghan revealed it was their third date when she realised she was in love with him.

Tan France asked her when she knew, and she said straight away that it was their third date. She recalled: "We met in Botswana and we camped for five days together.

"You really get to know each other when you're in a little tent together, and it's like - what is that outside the tent? That's an elephant. Are we going to be safe? Yeah, you're safe. OK."

She was then asked who said 'I love you first', and she revealed that Harry was the first one to let it slip.

Harry previously described this specific date in a post-engagement interview in 2017. He revealed: "It was three, maybe four, weeks later that I managed to persuade her to come [and] join me in Botswana, and we camped out with each other, under the stars.

"She came and joined me for five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic. Then we were really by ourselves, which was crucial to me to make sure that we had a chance to get to know each other."

In the second season of With Love, Meghan, she made several revelations about her life with Prince Harry. One of the things she admitted was her love for a certain UK radio station. Speaking to Tan, she revealed: "One of the things I miss most about the UK is the radio stations." She told Tan that it was Magic FM, which he called a "grandma" radio station.
