Meghan Markle is being credited for helping Prince Harry kick a nasty addiction even before they are married.

Harry was a party boy in his earlier years. During that time, the young Prince began smoking. Like many people, his American actress fiancee is not a fan of smoking. At one point, it was reported that Harry was up to a pack a day habit. But, that is all in the past.

Meghan moved overseas and made a number of concessions, including giving up her career to become Harry’s bride, so he felt it was an appropriate sacrifice to give up cigarettes. Smoking is banned in Nottingham Cottage, but Harry previously found a way around it and would bend the rules. But, he won’t even be doing that any longer thanks to the health-conscious American he is marrying in the spring.

“Harry has promised no smoking at all at home. It’s not nice for Meghan as a non-smoker,” a family friend said. “So there’s no more hanging out of the window for a quick puff. Harry has quit for Meghan.”

In his 20s, it was pretty common to see the youngest son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana smoking in public. He had a bit of a wild streak and wasn’t afraid to show it. As he’s aged a bit, he’s been more conservative about smoking in public. Now, he’s not smoking at all!

Prince Harry smoking

Prince Harry has made a lot of changes recently. He got engaged, he quit smoking and he got a huge promotion. The Queen appointed him the Captain General of the Royal Marines. Harry is proud of his military background and now he gets to add to that. He just took over this role from his grandfather, Prince Philip, who served in this capacity for 64 years.
