Meghan and Harry were keeping a massive secret when they made their first public appearance as a couple 😲😲

👑 Royal Fun Fact 👑

According to Finding Freedom, the biography of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry had a secret Instagram account, which he used to follow Meghan Markle's account (she deleted it in 2018) when they first started dating in 2016.

‌

“Although she shared much of her London visit on social media, Meghan knew she had to keep her dates a secret,” the authors write, via Vanity Fair. “But the clues were there. Around the time of their first encounter, she began to follow a mysterious-looking Instagram account by the name of @SpikeyMau5. With no face visible in the profile photo, just a mouse-shaped helmet, it would have meant nothing to most people. But it was in fact Harry’s private account.”

‌

The authors explain, "A big house music fan, he [Harry] crafted the pseudonym by using part of the name of one of his favorite DJs, DeadMau5. Spikey came from a Facebook alias that Harry used for an account he had under the name of Spike Wells. ‘Spike’ was a nickname sometimes used for the prince, particularly by Scotland Yard officers.”

‌

So now that his secret IG has been outed, is the prince still on the 'gram? Give us a follow, Harry!
