Meghan Markle might be happy to be back in her home state of California, but it sounds like Prince Harry had his heart set on a different location.
Celebrated primatologist Jane Goodall made a shocking confession about the Duke of Sussex and the secret immigration plan he made before his publicized exit from royal life.

“I managed to persuade her to come and join me in Botswana and we camped out with each other under the stars,” he said during his engagement announcement. “Then we were really by ourselves, which was crucial to me to make sure that we had a chance to get to know each other.”

While honoring Nelson Mandela at the UN in New York City, on Monday, July 18, speaking to an audience of world leaders and diplomats, he shared that the location has kept him grounded and tied to his mom.
"For most of my life, it has been my lifeline, a place where I found peace and healing time and time again," Harry said during his speech. "It's where I felt closest to my mother and sought solace after she died, and where I knew I had found a soulmate in my wife."
