In the days leading up to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding day, royal fever (and drama) has reached insane levels. But unless you happen to be a former cast member of Suits, snagging a date with a royal is pretty much impossible. That hasn't stopped people from testing out their one-liners, though.
Twitter users have been using the hashtag #RoyalPickUpLines to show how they would approach their own royal partner, and the results have been hilarious. Here's betting Meghan and Harry didn't quite go this route.
From the food references...
