Meghan Markle & Prince Harry’s Surprising First Valentine’s Day As A Married Couple
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will spend their first Valentine’s Day as a married couple in a surprising way, considering the closeness the couple has shared since revealing their relationship to the world with a striking engagement announcement in November 2017.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be spending the day apart reveals a story published in the British newspaper Express.

This is not the first time the couple has spent an important milestone apart. On the first anniversary of their engagement, the two were again apart as Prince Harry was on a royal scheduled appearance to Zambia, where he met with the conservation group African Parks.
Markle and Prince Harry have experienced a whirlwind year. After announcing their engagement in November 2017, the couple began to plan their extravagant royal wedding, which took place a short six months later in May of 2018.
