With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle all over our newsfeeds thanks to their recent departure from “senior” roles within the Royal Family, we decided to look back at some of our favourite snaps of the dynamic duo throughout their courtship.

Starting a new life together
To kick off 2020, the duo were all smiles after leaving Canada House in London. Harry and Meghan were on hand (and hand-in-hand) to pay tribute to the Commonwealth nation as a thank-you for their paparazzi-free six-week extended Christmas holiday in British Columbia. And, as royal watchers know, this photo became all the more meaningful the following day (Jan.8) when they dropped the bombshell news that they were stepping away from their "senior" royal duties and moving part-time to Canada.

Baby’s day out
Four-month-old Archie joined Mum and Dad as they met with Archbishop Desmond Tutu during their royal tour of South Africa in September 2019. Naturally, the cherubic babe stole the entire show, smiling and laughing for the Archbishop and his daughter, Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe.

Date night
The July 2019 European premiere of The Lion King may have been Meghan's first red carpet as a member of the Royal Family, but she and Harry proved how in sync they are, right down to their coordinating ensembles. Also, the duo met hip-hop royalty that night, bumping into Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Archie’s debut
The rule-bending couple chose to forgo the traditional baby debut on the hospital steps for a more intimate reveal on palace grounds. Proud parents Meghan and Harry were beaming from ear-to-ear as they introduced baby Archie Harrison to the world in May 2019.

Under my umbrella-ella-ella
During that same royal tour through Australia and New Zealand in October 2018, Meghan kept her prince dry from the rain as she held an umbrella over his head while he gave a speech during a community picnic in Victoria Park in Dubbo, New South Wales. It's no small wonder the snap went viral – it's adorable!

Windsor, Harry Windsor
The dashing red-head made like James Bond as he escorted his new bride to their badass ride before heading to their wedding reception at Frogmore House on the grounds of Windsor Castle. Not only did the couple look beyond happy, but the world let out a collective gasp when they first laid eyes on Meghan's stunning bridal evening gown by Stella McCartney.

These gorgeous engagement photos almost make you want to redo your own, don't they?

LOL
Hilarious and cringeworthy. That's real. Doesn't matter how rich and famous you are, sometimes your spouse can embarrass you a little.

Shock and awe(some)
There's no denying that the already charming prince became infinitely more animated once Meghan came along. The pair always seem to be having a blast.

Kids at play
Watching them interact with kids might be the most fun, as it was during a royal tour in Wales back in 2017.

Charming the crowds
Mere days after announcing their engagement, the pair made a royal outing in recognition of World AIDS Day. Meghan's first exposure to the royal-loving crowds must've been a bit daunting, but she nailed it.

First glimpse
The dynamic duo made their first official public appearance together in Toronto during the 2017 Invictus Games. We loved the low-key vibe they were giving out, too: no suits or dresses here. Kudos to Meghan for rocking those chic ripped jeans. (Kate would never!)
