The First Snap Of Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Is Here And It’s Very Cute Indeed
D'aaaaw.
Prince Harry has been dating actress Meghan Markle for around four months now, but the pair have yet to be officially pictured together.
Last night though, a first picture of the couple out and about together went public, and we’re loving how, well… normal, they look. Just look at them there, strolling down Shaftesbury Avenue in London:

The Sun released a series of photos last night, each showing the Prince and Meghan walking together, with Meghan’s arm on her boyfriend’s lower back. According to the paper, the couple were en route to the Gielgud Theatre in London’s West End to see The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime, and were accompanied by one bodyguard.
Over the weekend, the pair were spotted Christmas tree shopping in Battersea Park, and while no photos have emerged (no doubt there was a security detail present somewhere in the vicinity), the owner of the shop said the pair looked “completely charming together” and were “blissfully unaware” of the reaction their arrival incited among staff.
It’s been a low-key few weeks for the couple, which has no doubt been welcomed after their first few months together, which were sullied by intense press attention and social media trolling, in particular directed at Meghan. Eventually Harry issued a statement via Kensington Palace asking the press to “pause and reflect” before further damage was done.

“Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle’s safety and is worried that he has not been able to protect her. It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm,” the open letter read.
“He knows it is unusual to issue a statement like this but hope that fair-minded people will understand why he felt it necessary to speak publicly.”
