ENGLISH TRANSCRIPT:

Harry: The fact that I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly was sort of confirmation to me that all the stars were aligned, everything was just perfect. It was this beautiful woman just tripped and fell into my life, I fell into her life.

Their paths crossed in 2016 when a mutual friend suggested a blind date. Meghan had only one concern:

Meghan: 'I have one question' which was, 'Well, is he nice?' 'cos if he wasn't kind it just didn't seem like it would make sense and so we went and we had a, met for a drink.

Harry: I was beautifully surprised when I walked into that room and saw her. And there she was sitting there... I was like okay well I'm going to have to up my game.

Megan: And I think very quickly into that, we said, 'well what are we doing tomorrow? We should meet again.'

Harry: What are we doing tomorrow? Let's meet again. And then it was like, right, diaries. We need to get the diaries out and find out how we're going to make this work, because I was off to Africa for a month, and she was working. And we just said right where's the gap? And the gap happened to be in the perfect place. I managed to persuade her to come and join me in Botswana. And we camped out with each other under the stars, we spent - she came and joined me for five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic. So, then we were really by ourselves which was crucial to me to make sure we had a chance to get to know each other.

Megan: The family has been great, and we've just had a really nice time getting to know them and progressively helping me feel a part of, not just the institution, but also part of the family.

Harry and Megan chose the Invictus Games in Toronto for their first official appearance together. And just two months later, in Harry?s cottage at Kensington Palace, he popped the question.

Megan: It was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee.

Harry: The ring is yellow gold and the little diamonds either side are from my mother's jewellery collection to make sure that she's with us on this - on this crazy journey together.

Meghan: It's beautiful, and he designed it, it's incredible.

Harry: Both of us have passions for wanting to make change, change for good.

Meghan: It was one of the first things we started talking about when we met - was just the different things that we wanted to do in the world

Prince Harry: and we hope to try and have as much impact for all the things we care about as much as possible.

Meghan: I am very excited about that, yeah.

Harry: Whatever we have to tackle together or individually we'll always be us, together as a team, so I think she's capable...

Meghan: That's so nicely said, isn't it?

Harry: I don?t know, but she?s capable...She's capable of anything

PORTUGUESE TRANSLATION:

Harry: O fato de que eu me apaixonei (de ter me apaixonado) por Meghan t�o incrivelmente r�pido foi uma esp�cie de confirma��o para mim de que todas as estrelas estavam alinhadas, tudo estava perfeito. Foi essa linda mulher que trope�ou e caiu na minha vida, eu ca� em sua vida.

Seus caminhos se cruzaram em 2016 quando um amigo em comum sugeriu um encontro �s cegas. Meghan s� tinha uma preocupa��o:

Meghan: 'Eu tenho uma pergunta' que foi: 'Bem, ele � legal?' Porque se ele n�o fosse gentil, n�o parecia que faria sentido, ent�o fomos e n�s tivemos um, nos encontramos para uma bebida.

Harry: Fiquei belamente surpreso quando entrei naquela sala e a vi. E l� estava ela sentada ... Eu fiquei tipo, ok, vou ter que melhorar meu jogo.

Megan: E eu acho que rapidamente n�s dissemos: 'bem, o que vamos fazer amanh�? Devemos nos encontrar novamente.

Harry: O que vamos fazer amanh�? Vamos nos encontrar novamente. E ent�o foi tipo, certo, agendas. Precisamos tirar as agendas (das bolsas) e descobrir como vamos fazer isso funcionar, porque eu estava de partida para a �frica por um m�s, e ela estava trabalhando. E a gente s� disse, certo, cad� a abertura/ lacuna? E a lacuna estava no lugar perfeito. Consegui persuadi-la a se juntar a mim em Botsuana. E n�s acampamos um com o outro sob as estrelas, n�s passamos - ela veio e se juntou a mim por cinco dias l� fora, o que foi absolutamente fant�stico. Ent�o, n�s est�vamos realmente sozinhos, o que era crucial para mim pra me certificar que n�s t�nhamos a chance de nos conhecer.

Megan: A fam�lia tem sido �tima, e n�s tivemos um �timo momento conhecendo-os e progressivamente me ajudando a me sentir parte, n�o apenas da institui��o, mas tamb�m parte da fam�lia.

Harry e Megan escolheram a Invictus Games em Toronto para sua primeira apari��o oficial juntos. E apenas dois meses depois, no chal� de Harry no Kensington Palace, ele soltou a pergunta.

Megan: foi t�o doce e natural e muito rom�ntico. Ele se ajoelhou.

Harry: O anel � de ouro amarelo e os pequenos diamantes de cada lado s�o da cole��o de joias da minha m�e para ter certeza de que ela est� conosco - nesta louca jornada juntos.

Meghan: � lindo, e ele desenhou, � incr�vel.

Harry: N�s dois temos paix�es por querer fazer mudan�as, mudar para melhor.

Meghan: Foi uma das primeiras coisas sobre as quais come�amos a falar quando nos conhecemos- foi apenas as diferentes coisas que quer�amos fazer no mundo

Pr�ncipe Harry: e esperamos tentar ter tanto impacto para todas as coisas com as quais nos importamos quanto poss�vel.

Meghan: Estou muito animada com isso, sim.

Harry: Tudo o que temos para enfrentar juntos ou individualmente, sempre seremos n�s, juntos como um time, ent�o eu acho que ela � capaz ...

Meghan: Isso � t�o bem dito, n�o �?

Harry: Eu n�o sei, mas ela � capaz ... Ela � capaz de qualquer coisa
