Prince harry 'takes girlfriend meghan markle to watch northern lights'

According to reports, the couple saw in the new year flying out to Tromso, on the Norweigan fjords, to whale watch and spend some quality time together.  But the highlight of the trip would

have undoubtedly been watching the Northern Lights together.  A source close to the Royal revealed that he wanted to make a good impression as their trip would be a holiday Meghan

wouldn't forget.  "Harry wanted to make this first holiday something Meg will never forget," they dished to The Sun.  "He'd put a lot of thought into it and wanted

to make it as romantic and special as possible." Their getaway comes after the prince met Meghan's father, Thomas Markle, during a recent trip to Canada, who is said to be

"pretty happy" about their relationship. The Suits star's half-brother Thomas Markle Jr revealed to the Daily Mail that their father had known that they were dating from the

very start.  "He first met Prince Harry about six months ago out in Toronto," he divulged to the publication. "He's pretty happy about Harry and he's extremely proud

of her. They have an amazing relationship, they're very close and they always have been." Ahead of the Christmas break, Meghan made a trip to London to see the royal and the pair

enjoyed a low-key date to see a show. They were spotted for the first time near Piccadilly in matching beanie hats and smiling as they headed to the theatre.  _EXPRESS.CO.UK HAS CONTACTED A
