Hollywood actress, Meghan Markle, has finally opened up on her relationship with British royalty, Prince Harry.
In an interview for the cover of Vanity Fair‘s new issue, the Suits star says being involved with him has not changed who she is.

She said:
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.
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.
Markle and the prince met in July 2016 via mutual friends and have had to deal with the media coverage of their previously hidden relationship.
That said, the prince’s grandmother and reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, reportedly approved of the relationship late last year.
According to a Buckingham Palace insider, the queen is ‘fully supportive’ of Harry’s relationship and she is delighted to see him so happy.
Meanwhile, Markle also talked about how she handles the fame that has come from starring in Suits as well as dating a British royalty.
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.
