Prior to her royal relationship, Meghan confessed her love for British men to Esquire U.K. "I love how much men call you 'darling' here," she said during a 2013 interview. "I'm a sucker for a compliment."

WHAT MEGHAN CAN EXPECT DATING PRINCE HARRY

Apart from the enchanting accent, the TV star is also a fan of the dapper style of men like the Duke of Cambridge’s younger brother. “I love how British guys dress for the cold,” she said. “I’m from L.A. so I'm used to seeing people in sunglasses and flip-flops. There's something so romantic about a man in a scarf and a knitted hat.”
