Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced on February 14 that they are expecting their second child.
The couple's royal love story began in 2016 when they were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend. Rumors swirled for weeks until the pair finally confirmed their relationship in November that year.
A little over two years later, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot in a televised royal wedding ceremony at St. George's Chapel. However, their fairytale love story was filled with ups and downs.
Following ruthless scrutiny from the press and months of speculation about how the two were adapting to their new life as working royals, the pair released a joint statement in January 2020 saying they would be taking a "step back" from their royal positions and becoming financially independent.
Here's a timeline of their relationship, marriage, and exit from royal life.
