Before the Royal Wedding of 2018, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave an interview to the BBC detailing the origins of their relationship. They revealed that they met on a blind date set up by a mutual friend.

As for who the said friend was, they both said, “we should protect her privacy.” That still didn’t stop people from speculating about who she could be. The woman’s identity was eventually revealed to be Ralph Lauren PR director Violet von Westenholz. But for the longest time, many people believed it was Michelle Obama and they had valid reasons to believe so.
