How A Player Got Tamed
Her World Singapore|May 2018

If it can happen to playboy Prince Harry – who’s marrying Meghan Markle this month – it can happen to anybody. And actor and model Jason Godfrey (below) can relate. He’s played the dating game, but says it’s surprisingly easy to walk away from it when the right person drops into your life. He shares the other thing that’s surprised him: Nothing quite beats being in a committed relationship.

How A Player Got Tamed

I met Meghan Markle once. Yes, the princess-to-be Meghan Markle. For real. It was at an event for studio NBC/Universal, and she was the big name they were trotting out. A producer had called to ask if I would walk Meghan onstage – because, you know, God forbid anyone should have to walk onstage by themselves. In any case, I gallantly agreed to do it.

Back then, I didn’t know who Meghan Markle was. I’d never even seen an episode of Suits. So I was by no means star-struck, and instead tried to make small talk. I don’t remember much of the conversation, except that she had been spending long spells in Toronto (my hometown), where

Suits is filmed. But I recall her vibe. Though she was unfailingly polite and easy to talk to, she had the air of a woman who was trying to keep me at arm’s length.

But I guess Meghan Markle doesn’t have to worry about random dudes hitting on her anymore. After all, the whole world knows she’s the one who somehow managed to tame Britain’s Prince Harry. What was it about Meghan Markle that led the prince to shed his playboy prince label and become a one woman man?

SINGLE AND ALWAYS READY TO MINGLE

It got me thinking. Women always seem way readier to leave the dating game behind and say yes to a committed relationship. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that a boyfriend on their arm or a ring on their finger is an easy escape from any unwelcome flirtations.
