Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who stars in the hit USA series 'Suits', announced their engagement on Monday, November 27th, after a lot of media speculation.
"His Royal Highness and Ms. Markle became engaged in London earlier this month," Clarence House said. "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."
According to Clarence House, the wedding will take place in Spring 2018. It will be the biggest royal wedding since his brother Prince William walked down the aisle with Kate Middleton in 2011. It is the first time a direct heir to the throne has been set to wed an American since King Edward VIII abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson in 1937. (Harry is fifth in line, behind his father, Prince Charles, William and Kate’s children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.)
In a statement, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip said they were “delighted for the couple and wish them every happiness," while Markle’s parents — Thomas Markle and Doria Ragland — said they were “incredibly happy” about the engagement. Watch their first interview beneath:
