“Harry wanted to make this first holiday something [she] will never forget. It wasn’t an obvious choice like a glitzy beach resort or tropical island,” a source told the publication. “He’d put a lot of thought into it and wanted to make it as romantic and special as possible.”

Instead, the couple opted for privacy and a unique destination for their romantic getaway.

“Harry wanted to get away from everyone and be totally on their own — just them,” the source said. “The Northern Lights are at their best at this time of year and­ ­currently have been the most amazing for ages. They really have had an unforgettable time.”

The trip comes after Prince Harry and Markle picked out a Christmas tree together in early December, a pretty big move for a couple whose relationship has only been confirmed since October. Temperatures may be dropping, but we think it’s safe to say things are heating up for the pair.
