Markle Sr. was asked to describe the moment Meghan informed him that she had a new man in her life. He said the Duchess started the conversation by saying she has a new boyfriend.

During the next phone call, she said her boyfriend is Brittish; Markle Sr approved. She only revealed that she was dating a Prince by the third phone call.

Meghan told her father that they would have to refer to Prince Harry as 'H' because their relationship wasn't public knowledge yet at that stage.
