Ariana Austin, now 33, was on a night out with a friend when they were approached by Joel Makonnen in the Pearl nightclub.
“I said: ‘You guys look like an ad for Bombay Sapphire',” he told The New York Times about their first encounter.
“Not even five minutes later I said: 'You're going to be my girlfriend'.”
What he didn't reveal that night 12-years ago, was that plain old Joel was actually Prince Joel, the great-grandson of Haile Selassie I, Ethiopia's last emperor.
