In Her Own Words: What Kind of Girlfriend Will Meghan Markle Be for Prince Harry?

With her relationship moving swiftly along, Meghan Markle is willing to make sacrifices in the name of love.

The Suits star, who began dating Prince Harry earlier this year, is “head over heels” for the royal and “doing everything she can to make the relationship work,” a friend of the actress tells PEOPLE exclusively. “It’s been an absolute fairy tale for Meghan.”

The couple has been fitting in time with each other when possible, and Markle, 35, made a short trip to London last week to visit her boyfriend, 32.

According to the friend, she’s also making an effort to make her life more private than before.

“She’s trying to figure out how to scale back what she puts out there about her life, including her social media and her website,” says the pal of Markle, who runs her lifestyle website The Tig. “If she had to leave all that she’s doing in order for the relationship to work, she would without hesitation.”

Adds the friend, “It’s a very serious relationship and she wants a future with Harry.”
