New excerpts from the upcoming book Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family detail the early days of Meghan and Harry's relationship, which they kept secret for about six months.
Their blind date took place at Soho House's Dean Street Townhouse in London. A source told authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand that the future Duke and Duchess of Sussex chatted over drinks for nearly three hours. The night ended with each going their separate ways without a kiss.
"Almost immediately they were almost obsessed with each other," a friend told the authors. "It was as if Harry was in a trance."

Meghan and Prince Harry returned to the same spot for dinner the following night, sneaking into a staff entrance and being waited on by one staff member to ensure privacy.
"Harry knew they would be together at that point," the friend said. "She was ticking every box."
The couple met again the following night, when Meghan took a taxi to a staff entrance at Kensington Palace to visit Harry at his cottage. Prince Harry took Meghan on a romantic camping trip to Botswana six weeks later, leaving the Suits star "completely spellbound," according to a friend.
