Meghan Markle has surprised everyone by sharing previously unknown details about her private life with Prince Harry in an emotional message posted on her profile. In it, the former actress has broken her silence by confirming what Prince Harry did on their second date: he brought her cupcakes.
Meghan has brought back that moment from 2016 to celebrate July 4th. It's a holiday in the United States and the day when Harry and she had their second date. Now the couple have turned it into a family tradition to celebrate with cupcakes in memory of that romantic day.
Meghan Markle reveals the unexpected about Prince Harry
Last July 4th, while the United States celebrated Independence Day, Meghan Markle surprised with an unexpected post. On that same day, but almost ten years ago, she and Prince Harry had their second romantic date. The former actress herself wanted to remember that day by revealing what the prince did to surprise her.
Meghan has broken her silence and confirmed that Harry showed up to their date with some cupcakes. "Harry brought me cupcakes to celebrate," Markle writes in her post recalling the moment. The Duchess of Sussex chose July 4th to reveal a previously unknown photo that reflects moments full of tenderness and spontaneity.
The photo, taken from the couple's second meeting in 2016, shows Harry hugging Meghan, with his head affectionately resting on her shoulder. Meghan explains in her post that those cupcakes remain a family tradition, now also shared by their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
The informal dinner took place at Soho House in London, an elegant place where both felt comfortable talking without stress or real expectations. The date takes on symbolic value, since it coincides with American Independence Day, a simple yet meaningful reason to remember their connection.
For this reason, Meghan has chosen that date to remember that moment that forever marked the summer of 2016 and their lives. In addition to the selfie, there are photos of cupcakes made by the children, decorated with peace symbols and small red and blue berries. This shows that, almost a decade later, they keep the tradition alive.
Meghan Markle remembers her second date with Prince Harry
For some time now, Meghan's social media profile has focused on her family life. The former actress shares snapshots with her children and messages of love for Prince Harry and how happy she is with him. In fact, for Father's Day she dedicated a heartfelt message accompanied by an emotional video with Archie and Lilibet.
Now it's time to remember what her second romantic date was like. While it's most common to remember the first, for Meghan the second time she met with Prince Harry has a special meaning. Especially because it coincided with Independence Day in the United States, a date she will never forget.
Although almost a decade has passed since that second date, for Meghan it remains an essential part of her love story. From it was born a tradition they now share with their children. By choosing such an iconic day as July 4th, she managed to unite romance with the cultural meaning inherited from her American roots.
Meghan shows that displays of love don't have to be big or expensive to be memorable; a single cupcake is enough to build a personal story.
Four months after that second date, the British royal house made Markle and Prince Harry's relationship official. With that began a story full of love, betrayal, and distance that, to this day, overshadows the British royal family.
