"Meghan and I are the same age so, I know I was about 13 or 14. I obviously don't remember 'the kiss'- but I do know that I was the first guy she kissed.

"She was a nice, kind, sweet girl.  Her and I in some ways just felt a sense of attraction to each other, I'd had girlfriends prior to this, so I knew what I was doing - I proposed to my girlfriend in kindergarten!"

Joshua revealed that the pair both attended Agape Spiritual Church summer camp in 1993 where their teenage romance unfolded.

Beatboxer Joshua said he was "excited" when he discovered that Megahn was set to marry Prince Harry.

He added: 'To be a person to grow up in LA, no ties with the royal family, or anything across the pond, to marry into it, that's exciting. I'm happy for her.

"She's very smart, got a good head on her shoulders, can handle herself, so she's going to have a fun ride. I'm very happy to hear that it seems like all her dreams are coming true."

The relationship fizzled out at the end of summer and Joshua and Meghan went their separate ways.

Joshua has appeared on James Corden's The Late, Late Show where he beatboxes for the "Drop The Mic" segment.
