PRINCE Harry revealed he and Meghan Markle went from “zero to 60” in the first two months of their relationship as they enjoyed cosy TV dates.
The Duke of Sussex opened up about his relationship as he joined James Corden on the Late Late Show.

Harry, 36, explained how “everything was done back to front” due his royal status, which meant cosy nights in rather than attending glitzy dinners.
He said: “Rather than going to friends’ houses or out for dinner where there were other distractions [we had] no distractions, it was great.
“We went from zero to 60 in the first two months.”
Harry, who is expecting his second child with Meghan, 39, married the former actress in Windsor in May 2018.
The pair met in July 2016 on a blind date after being introduced by a mutual friend and hit it off immediately.
Harry said: “The second date I was starting to think wow this is pretty special.
“It wasn’t so much where we went but just the way we hit it off with each other and were comfortable in each other’s company.
“Meeting with me is kind of flipped upside down – all the dates become having dinner, watching the TV and chatting at home and then eventually when you become a couple, then you venture out to dinners and the cinema and everything else.
“Everything was done back to front with us so actually we got to spend an enormous amount of time just the two of us.”
Harry spoke candidly about his relationship as he joined Corden for a double-decker bus tour of Los Angeles.
The Duke of Sussex insisted that he and Meghan Markle “never walked away” from the Royal Family.
In a segment filmed before he and wife Meghan confirmed they will not be returning as working members of the royal family, the Duke performed the Fresh Prince of Bel Air rap from the hit 90s TV show.
Corden served him afternoon tea while pointing out celebrity homes, including what he claimed were those of Friends star David Schwimmer and Die Hard actor Bruce Willis.
Asked by Corden how he sees his life after lockdown, Harry, 36, said: “My life is always going to be about public service and Meghan signed up to that.”
On the decision to walk away from the royal family, he said it “was never walking away, it was stepping back rather than stepping down”.
He added that it was a “really difficult environment” and criticised the press, saying it was “destroying my mental health”.
Harry said he needed to move his family away but insisted: “I will never walk away, I will always be contributing. My life is public service.”
The couple announced on Valentine’s Day they are expecting their second child.
They are currently raising first child Archie at their new £8million Santa Barbara home.
It came just days before Harry and Meghan sensationally told the Queen they would not be returning as working members of the Royal Family.
The pair declared “service is universal” as they were stripped of their honorary titles and patronages as Megxit was finalised.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the couple will no longer hold their formal positions with a range of military, arts, Commonwealth and sporting organisations.
But the decision is said to have come as a bitter blow to the couple who, despite wanting to remain in the US for personal and financial freedom, believed they could still represent the public-facing bodies.
They are now preparing for a tell-all chat with Oprah Winfrey to be aired next month.
It has been reported the couple did not tell the Queen about the interview with Oprah – with pals saying “nothing will be off limits” in the chat.
