Prince Charles's whirlwind romance with Diana was the stuff headlines were made of. Charles, reportedly under pressure to find a "suitable" bride since his first love, Camilla Shand, did not qualify, took an interest in Diana in the Summer of 1980. They were engaged in February 1981. Meghan and Harry took a little longer to decide on marriage: they began dating in June 2016, and announced their engagement a little over a year later in September 2017.
