Before the world knew about the love affair between Prince Harry and a Hollywood actress called Meghan Markle, the Royal walked into an art gallery and purchased a very special gift, reported Express on the 2nd of September 2018.

The Prince browsed through the exhibits at Walton Fine Arts gallery in London in October 2016, a few days before his relationship with his future wife became public.

He said he was looking for something for "an important person" and his choice of theme was definitely romantic.
