Prince Harry, 32, met the hollywood actress, Meghan Markle, at a charity event and sent her messages until she said she would meet up with him - and, following a number of dates the pair are now said to be 'serious' about one another.
Reportedly, Meghan may have still been with her ex-boyfriend of two years, Canadian chef Cory Vitiello, when she first met Harry and he began pursuing her.
A friend said: 'They are the real deal. He definitely pursued her and besieged her with texts until she agreed to a date.'
'He's head over heels and she feels the same.'
The Telegraph reports Meghan and her chef boyfriend broke up in May - the same month she met the young Prince at a charity event, where is understood to have asked for her number.
The source told The Sun the pair went to London's Soho House in early July with a group of friends and then had two more dates by themselves where the young royal 'swept her off her feet.'
