The couple is all set to marry next spring and will live at Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace in London after they tie the knot.
Prince Harry, 33, and Markle, 36, started dating 15 months ago and since then the duo has been in news for some or the other reason. The couple was introduced to each other by a mutual friend and it was the beginning of a beautiful adventure.
Some researchers have even uncovered that the couple are distant cousins going back to the late 15th century. As per a media report, Ralph Bowes, an English Sheriff was Meghan’s ancestor who happened to be Harry’s relative through the Queen Mother Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Pretty interesting fact we must say!
However, this is the second time, after Kate Middleton and Prince William, that the Royal family will once again be welcoming a commoner into their family. Well, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that when two people are in love nothing else really matters and this story is one such beautiful story.
Markle who is popularly known for her role as Rachel Zane in ‘Suits’, spoke for the first time about their relationship in a interview with Vanity Fair where she said, “We’re a couple. We’re in love. I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. This is for us.”
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said of the engagement:
‘We are very excited for Harry and Meghan. It has been wonderful getting to
know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together.’

Well, the duo looks so much in love together and this piece of news will surely make their fan squeal with happiness.
The official announcement from Clarence House reads, “His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle. The wedding will take place in spring 2018. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course. His Royal Highness and Ms. Markle became engaged in London earlier this month. Prince Harry has informed Her Majesty The Queen and other close members of his family. Prince Harry has also sought and received the blessing of Ms. Markle’s parents. The couple will live in Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace.”
If reports are to be believed, Markle will leave ‘Suits’ when season seven ends. While fans will totally miss Rachel, we can’t help but be happy for the new beginning of Harry and Meghan.
