Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been married for four months after tying the knot at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19.
But the royal newlyweds first began their whirlwind romance in July 2016, after being set up on a blind date by a mutual friend.
The Duke of Sussex’s relationship with the former Suits actress was revealed later in October that year.
But just a few days before they went public, the prince spend thousands of pounds on a romantic gift for Meghan.
What did Prince Harry buy Meghan Markle?
Prince Harry is said to have bought a painting from exclusive Walton Fine Arts Gallery in Kennington, west London.
He reportedly asked for a piece by British artist Van Donna called Everybody Needs Somebody to Love.
The picture is made of two parts so it can be shared by two people.
On one side, there is an acrylic stencil and spray piece which shows a boy and girl holding hands.
Next to it are the words “Everybody Needs Somebody to Love” in red script.
One of the prints costs between £599 and £799, according to the gallery’s website.
An art collector said he spotted Harry choosing the painting himself from Walton Fine Arts gallery in London.
He said he wanted to buy the painting for an “important person”, although Meghan was not named at the time.
The art collector told People: “Harry is one of the regulars in the area and regularly goes into the shops and galleries with his bodyguard, kind of in stealth mode.
“He was in the gallery for a little while and liked a few things, then settled on the Van Donna.
“He said he was looking for something for ‘an important person’.
“It was literally just before anyone heard about Meghan — literally just days before it was announced he was going out with her.”
He added: “At the time nobody knew about Meghan Markle, but if it was for her then it’s a very romantic gesture.”
