It's official: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are married, and the world is in love with the pair. Because it's no small feat to ingratiate oneself into the royal family, with all its strict protocol, and we can only imagine what a whirlwind their relationship has been for the American actress.

The dating culture there has loads of differences, and even though our countries share a common tongue (no pun intended) and a lot of history, these distinctions just might surprise you.
