Part 3, Chapters 1-5 Summary

On July 1, 2016, Harry is captivated by an Instagram photograph of his friend Violet with another woman. Violet tells Harry that her friend is Meghan Markle—an American actress who stars in the series Suits. As Harry leaves for a sailing event on the Isle of Wight, he receives a message from Meghan. They agree to meet at Soho House (a private members’ club). For the first time during the sailing event, Harry fears for his safety. He’s eager to return to London for his date with Meghan.

Harry’s date with Meghan is brief because he’s late and she has dinner plans. Meghan reveals that she’s an entrepreneur and activist as well as an actor. They arrange to meet on July 4 before she returns to filming in Canada.

Meghan meets Harry after watching her friend Serena Williams play at Wimbledon. Harry gives her a box of cupcakes for Independence Day, and they kiss. The couple discusses when they can see each other again. Harry persuades Meghan to meet him in Botswana.
