Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Romance Is the Fairytale We Didn't Know We Needed

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are the couple of the year. OK, OK, maybe we shouldn't make it a competition, because there are a lot of amazing celebrity couples out there. But, come on, Meghan and Harry are just — gaaahhh. They've shared so many adorable moments this year alone, including their extravagant wedding, their first visit to Sussex, and, more recently, the first stop on their royal tour of Australia. That's why when news broke that the royal duo will be expecting their first child in Spring 2019, the internet went into a tailspin of congratulatory praise and excitement.

Meghan and Harry have been gracious enough to take us along their journey as a couple, and the best part is, this is all just the beginning. We're looking forward to seeing more adorable moments and shared milestones between them, but for now, we need to just appreciate some of the most heartwarming times that Meghan and Harry made us say "Awww" over their relationship this year.
