Queen Elizabeth¡¯s grandson Harry, 33, currently fifth-in-line to the British throne, and Markle, 36, best known for her role in the U.S. TV legal drama ¡°Suits¡±, got engaged 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,¡± a statement issued by Clarence House, Prince Charles¡¯ official London residence, said.
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace said the queen, who had to give her assent for the union, and her husband Prince Philip were delighted.
The couple met in July 2016 after they were introduced through friends.
¡±We¡¯re in love,¡° Markle told Vanity Fair magazine in an interview that month. ¡±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.
The youngest son of heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles and his first wife Princess Diana, Harry was once the wild child of the royal family who admitted smoking cannabis and getting drunk when under the legal age limit.
But since enjoying a successful military career that saw him on active service twice in Afghanistan, he has secured a place as one of Britain¡¯s most popular royals, not just at home but globally. Like his mother, he has become a prominent charity campaigner on issues such as mental health and Aids.
Markle, who is a divorcee, has appeared in a number of TV shows and films, such as ¡°Horrible Bosses¡±, but achieved greatest fame for her starring part as ¡°Rachel Zane¡± in the ongoing ¡°Suits¡± series.
The minute the news of their engagement news broke, Twitterati had the best reactions. Take a look. Thw two would get married in the spring of next year.
