Ian Halperin has been a big name in the celebrity biography circuit and through some major digging has been able to unearth quite a few tidbits of information about some of our favorite celebs.

Hailing from the United States, Halperin has profiled the Kardashian Clan, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie’s marriage, and now he has decided to jump across the pond and look at the Royals. Meghan’s induction into the Royal family has finally given him that American celeb edge he needs. But now it is time for Jennifer Aniston.

A Prince Goes Courting

Prince Harry had always been a fan of American cinema and television which means he had grown up watching Jennifer Aniston on Friends and then seen her start showing up on the big screen in a number of movies. As he watched her he knew that he had to meet her.

Keep in mind this was a long time before he would meet Meghan Markle the Hollywood actress that would steal his heart. But at the time, Jen was who he wanted and he knew that he had to meet her. The question simple became, how and what kind of meeting would this be?

The GQ Cover

While Harry had always found Jen attractive with her tanned skin, beach blonde locks, and sparkling eyes, it was the GQ cover which really pushed him over the edge. Jen is featured sitting cross-legged and wearing only a men’s striped tie as she grins beguiling at the camera.

Once Harry saw that it was over, he simply had to meet her. Keep in mind this was back in 2009 well before Meghan entered the picture. Don’t worry about his attention being diverted during this time, he would not meet Meghan for many more years. That is a tale for another time.

Party Animal

We all know that the prince has a bit of a wild time in his youth. Those no infamous photos of him going skinny dipping in Las Vegas were enough to shock the world and the Queen.

But prior to all that, Harry was in Los Angeles hitting up some of Hollywood’s favorite nightlife spots with a bunch of models that had decided to join him on his royal outing. It was during that night that the prince decided he wanted to try and track down Jen to see if she would be willing to meet him. But first, he needed to get her number.
