Prince Harry was once quite infatuated withFriends star Jennifer Aniston. A new book and documentary claimed that, before he met his wife Meghan Markle, the Duke of Sussex would send the Aniston emoji text messages as he was obsessed with her.
Writer Ian Halperin revealed to Mirror that Prince Harry once said Aniston was "princess material." His crush sprung from when the actress posed completely naked on the cover of GQ in 2009.
Prince Harry got the actress' number from common friends in Los Angeles. However, Aniston didn't want to encourage the Duke even as she was aware of Prince Harry's crush on her because, aside from many issues, they had a significant age difference. Prince Harry is 16 years younger than the Friends actress.
A spokesperson for Aniston, however, told the news outlet that Halperin's claims are not true. The writer, however, stood by his claims as he talked with several people close to these celebrities' circles.
Meanwhile, the Duke of Sussex and his wife have been happily married for over a year. The royal couple is in the middle of planning the baptism of their first-born son, Archie Harrison, who was born on May 6.
It is believed that Archie will be christened this July at the Church of England, where his dad was also christened in 1984. Details to this event, however, have not yet been revealed by the palace and it will likely be a very private affair just like the baby's birth.
Meanwhile, reports stated that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan would soon be moving to Africa to attend to their charities and causes. This, by no means, will not be a permanent relocation.
"Britain is their home and where they want to raise their family," a close family friend told Harper's Bazaar. "If they are to work abroad it would be a short stint."
Come October, however, Prince Harry and Meghan will be on an official tour in Africa. Royal watchers think that the royal couple will be bringing their baby along since this will be a two-week trip.
For now, Duchess Meghan is still on her maternity leave and may be set to return to her royal duties this fall season. The only time Meghan appeared in public after Archie's birth was when the royal family celebrated the Queen's official birthday last June 8 via the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
