Luckily for him, he wasn't entirely alone. He brought his dog Jet with him for the entire journey, having covered over 12,000 miles together.

We can't know who Meghan really is, without knowing who she chooses to surround herself with. Since she became serious with Prince Harry, she's been a closed book about her private life and relationships.
